NDSEG Fall 2014

[laulipop]

I just submitted mine! Good luck everyone. 

[Munashi]

I got that email too - was also told it was in error.  I'm wondering if they mistakenly sent it out to everyone...

What are people putting down for memberships/certifications?  I really feel like I have nothing here...

I am a national member of IEEE and SWE, but no certifications.

 

Have other people put Dean's List or graduating cum laude as Awards & Honors? If so, how did you fill out the "Presenter" blanks?

Have any past applicants ever been considered without three letters of rec? I don't think my last one is getting in ,

[Mutualimpedancewaffle]

Submitted! Just waiting on one last letter from my old advisor who is a notorious procrastinator...

 Yes, although I didn't get it. Not sure how much it hurt me, but they told me I would still be considered.

[doomination]

just submitted mine. I was hoping to hear back from my university's fellowship office for comments on my summary of goals, but alas, the NDSEG gets an uncommented draft.

[Munashi]

Congrats to everyone who submitted!  Good luck, everyone.

[ktk]

Turned mine in last week but 2/3 recs, just checked. I reminded him a few times too

 I feel you. I wish they were more flexible about receiving letters late.

Has anyone been able to find any good info on the probability of getting one of these awards, beyond knowing that only about 200 are awarded?

 

It's been in the back of my mind a lot since the submission deadline...

Thanks, but I should've clarified that I meant more in terms of a breakdown by field. Mostly just something to ease my concerns that there might be a slight inclination against chemistry projects being chosen, which is something I've noticed for the award distribution for the NSF GRFP. Then again, it's not really something worth worrying about since it's all up in the air now.

Ahh, apologies.  I am honestly not sure, and I'm also unable to find that info... If anyone else has it, I'd be interested as well just for curiosity's sake.

[shanks.k]

Anyone have an idea when awards will be announced?

 

I applied last year and we were in limbo for a while.

[Cosmojo]

I believe its early to mid-April, same as NSF GRFP

[Munashi]

Looks like last year awards were announced April 10th.  Their website says "by mid-April".

That's disappointing...looking at the various years of fellowship forum topics, it seems like the fellowship announcement days keep getting pushed to be later and later. :/ From what I've heard about at least the NSF GRFP, they're basically just waiting til April so they don't mess with admissions and have already decided on their awardees.

[rufusjbuttlicker]

Just a bump on this for now. The NSF people are getting antsy; I want to believe some of us NDSEG are just more calm and collected but its probably just because we're a smaller group .

I also think that the general consensus is that they most certainly won't come out for at least another week, if not two.

[moochie]

I wish the NDSEG people could give us a better date estimate than "mid-April." Even if they were like, "yo it ain't comin' out til April 12th." I'd rather know that I'm waiting for a late-ish date than just wait day to day and not know anything.

 

Oh well. As my dad always used to say: If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.

haha, as someone in part of both groups (oh the anxiety!) in the recent past, since 2010, NSF has always announced first and then a week or so later NDSEG announces. not claiming its intentional just observing

Hey, I'm in both, too! Thanks for the comparison of when they're announced--a shame that NDSEG is announced later, as I'm personally more excited about that one...

I'm also in both. Personally, I think I'm much more competitive for the NDSEG than I am the NSF GRFP. It then follows that I am much more anxious to hear from the NDSEG. I should write a scientific paper on how time slows down relativistically the closer you get to when the fellowships announce winners.
