thissiteispoison Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I don't think I was specific enough about research interests. Should have went ahead and proposed a specific project. I picked a specific subfield and explained how it could be useful to the DOD, but it still wasn't an actual project from what I can remember. I should do well in most categories but might get docked a lot for that.

I should do well in most categories but might get docked a lot for that. Double edged sword. If they don't like the project, then its also bad. I hear good things about being general, but I stuck to my guns and proposed a project all the same.
Munashi Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Does NDSEG also try to distribute awards based on diversity criteria like the NSF's quota system? I don't know for sure, but I don't think so. This is from their website, emphasis added: "Applications are encouraged from women, persons with disabilities, and members of ethnic and racial minority groups (including African American, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander, and Hispanic or Latino persons) that historically have been underrepresented in science and engineering fields. However, all applicants are judged solely on the basis of academic ability in fields of interest to the DoD." Source: https://ndseg.asee.org/faq/other_frequently_asked_questions
unbrokenthread Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Silly question: There's no work requirement for this fellowship, is there? (By that I mean a requirement to work for Uncle Sam for x number of years afterward.) I'm almost sure I don't remember there being any, but I couldn't confirm by skimming the NDSEG FAQ.

rufusjbuttlicker Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Does anyone happen to remember if there is a specific time that the NDSEG is announced or is just random time of day when some guy hits a button?
moochie Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 If I remember what I read in old threads correctly, it's fairly random.
M4ss5pec Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 So it may as well be just some person hitting a button--snazzy. At least we know it'll come by the 15th and hopefully not on the 18th, like what happened a couple years ago. :/

poly Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I got a "you are still being considered" message as well. It looks like this means waitlisted...
shanks.k Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I got a "you are still being considered" message as well. It looks like this means waitlisted... I received that last year and ended up getting a denial in the end. Good luck to you. Hope I get the SMART now.

poly Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I received that last year and ended up getting a denial in the end. Good luck to you. Hope I get the SMART now. Thanks. I just got rejected from NSF yesterday too and was trying to forget about it! Maybe next year. It seems there are three people on the results page from last year that received this message and later got the fellowship, but most are denied.
Argon Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Negative for me. One more fellowship I'm holding out for!
Munashi Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Denied. Bust for this and NSF. Maybe next year! Congrats to any winners. doyleowl 1
doomination Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 DENIED. Ah well, there's always next year. Congrats to the winners, great job! doyleowl 1
