saveagemind Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Here's a place we can channel our anxieties as we wait to hear from SSRC about the IDRF. Supposedly transcript requests start to come in February...
Safferz Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I applied as well. But honestly -- they awarded something like 80 fellowships out of over 1000 applications last time, I can't say I'm too hopeful.
Cicero Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Another applicant here. Hopefully we get the first round news (transcript requests or rejection) this week.
waiting279 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I applied as well. But honestly -- they awarded something like 80 fellowships out of over 1000 applications last time, I can't say I'm too hopeful. Yeah, I know it's not likely -- but on the other hand, someone has to be those 80... why not us? Cicero and Safferz 2
Safferz Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah, I know it's not likely -- but on the other hand, someone has to be those 80... why not us? Very true! I looked at threads from previous years (GradCafe and the Academic Jobs wiki) -- transcript requests for those who advanced to the short list/final round should be next week, with rejection letters via snail mail over the next few weeks. Good luck everyone!
Cicero Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Anyone hear anything? SSRC usually notifies around the first week of February...
iesadi Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 same here, i haven't heard anything yet. i am not very optimistic about this, either. good luck to all!
ketabehayat Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 No transcript request Good luck everyone else!
waiting279 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 No transcript request Good luck everyone else! Well, in recent years, it looks like transcript requests have come over a span of about 3-4 days, so don't give up hope completely yet... maybe good news will still be coming to some of us who didn't get anything today.
eagle-bear Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Received transcript request at ~2:00pm PST
Safferz Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Congrats guys! I hope the transcript requests do indeed trickle out over a few days. Looks like today's requests were right at the end of the day (~5pm EST), maybe we'll see more movement tomorrow.
Carthage32 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Another transcript request here (also around 5pm EST). And, yep, it seems from previous years' threads that requests are staggered out over several days. So, I'm sure there are many more to come. Fingers crossed for everyone.
saveagemind Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 Got a transcript request this afternoon at 5pm.
HistorianC Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 well, 5pm has come and gone, and no requests. Do you think they're done sending them out for this year? At this point, i'd rather just know definitively and move on, rather than obsessing about it for the next few days.
Safferz Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 well, 5pm has come and gone, and no requests. Do you think they're done sending them out for this year? At this point, i'd rather just know definitively and move on, rather than obsessing about it for the next few days. In past years, there have been transcript requests a few days after a first wave of requests. So it isn't over (just yet)... SSRC's history tells us next week is still a possibility.
yatto Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Just got my rejection letter in the mail—oh well. Good luck to everyone else!
Redseele Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) I also just got a rejection letter in the mail. I am in NYC (SSRC is based in Brooklyn), the letter was postmarked February 5th. If you don't get that letter between today and monday, you might still be hopeful Edited February 7, 2015 by Redseele
Safferz Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Rejection letter here too! Good luck to everyone who advanced. virmundi 1
HistorianC Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) No letter yet. But, I'm guessing if the letters are dated the 5th and all the transcript emails so far are also from the 5th, maybe they just did everything on the same day this year.. So, probably the rejection letter is just inevitable. Congrats and good luck to everyone who made it through! Edited February 7, 2015 by HistorianC
Aroma Black Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Can confirm that not all of the transcript requests went out on the 5th.
Leafytea Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Can confirm that not all of the transcript requests went out on the 5th. Did you get one after the 5th?
