rufusjbuttlicker Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 So it should tak 2~3 days to hear back about all of them? Or is Predoctoral finished sooner?

Happydays2 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Are awards divided based on discipline? In other words, are we competing mainly against others within own, or very similar, disciplines? (I applied pre-doc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESFPengineer Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm in Biomedical Engineering (1st Year PhD student...idk if they group based on year?) and received mine around 2:15 EST too. Pre-doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassy_grad_24 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Are awards divided based on discipline? In other words, are we competing mainly against others within own, or very similar, disciplines? (I applied pre-doc) Happydays2: yes, awards are divided by discipline. the number in each discipline isn't exact and you get read in whatever area you marked as your primary area (usually but not always). My understanding is that this is based on how your first reading goes. A reader might think you're better suited in a different field and they will send your app to that review group. I think this happens more in the humanities and social science areas that are interdisciplinary (think: you marked Ethnic Studies but they think you should be read in Sociology, for instance) but I don't know because I am not a reviewer. I would recommend you go into the lists of past winners and see how many were awarded in each area in the past to get a better idea of the spread. Congrats to the winners !!!

bizzyphd Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 My primary field is Media Study (one of those weird interdisciplines...for me, it also intersects with Cultural Study, Performance, Black Studies, American Studies, etc.) I applied twice to the Predoctoral in 2010 and 2012 and received Honorable Mention both times. Had that gap year where it was too late for the Predoc and too early for the Dissertation. Then waited another year to apply for the Dissertation. My project is so much more coherent now and I felt that as I was preparing my application this time. So to everyone who hasn't received an award, definitely keep trying! It's a long process...but so is graduate school! tomecide, poweredbycoldfusion and ALostScholar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHIE Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Is there a change on the application website for those who received an acceptance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizzyphd Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 My email just sent me to another link where I could upload additional material (verification status stuff + stipend allotment decision) by April 13th. So I'm not sure about the original application website. JHIE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezln Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 not sure what is worse - checking grad cafe and knowing people got the award (and congrats to all!) ...or hopelessly waiting for that email to come through ....sigh.... anyone hear from sociology?

Musiciangrl06 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Glad to hear I'm not the only one. If it goes by discipline, I wondering about biological sciences/ecology Edited March 24, 2015 by Musiciangrl06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musiciangrl06 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Nope, doesn't seem like anything came out today. Maybe the email sender outer called in sick today :/ Happydays2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happydays2 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Congrats to those that have been selected! Not to be a debbie downer, but I keep worrying about the following scenario: what if all the awarded are notified on the same day, but only a select few frequent the grad cafe often enough to post. If anyone has a good reason as to why the above might not be true, please share JHIE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has a good reason as to why the above might not be true, please share It seems odd that there haven't been any other notices. And honestly, I was expecting a Friday email result, not Monday early afternoon. So perhaps they are doing things a bit differently this year so there's no way to tell!
