timshea Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks for posting that review, it was very interesting. That 3% acceptance rate is scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEMnerd Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Well, if we assume that we will hear back today and that the reporting will be handled by the offices in Iowa, it is possible that they will announce results at between 3-5 CDT (4-6 EDT, 2-4 PDT) seeing it is past noon (CDT). Just picking popular times, ie after lunch or end of business day. But maybe I am overthinking this and should get back to research.

DSYIII Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 One thing I am unclear on is whether they have a fixed number of fellowships they plan to give out (and thus will wait until offers are accepted to send out rejection emails), or if they will send a fixed number of offers regardless of acceptance.

marty3 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 In the past they sent out rejection emails to most applicants first, then made offers to the winners, and then, after all awarded fellowships were accepted, they sent out the final round of rejections (3-4 weeks later) with a cryptic email along the lines of "you passed the final round of selection but just didn't win". Sounds like they reject and offer awards, except for a few candidates who are put on a waitlist. DSYIII 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokster Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Just got rejected. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pythongeek Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Unfortunately, just got rejected,too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpylori Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Rejected  On anyone's email did they write they "were impressed with your credentials"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argon Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 They said that on mine. I assume it's generic. Rejected as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpylori Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Idk I don't think it'd be their style to send that, in boldface to every applicant. Probably means we made the 2nd round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty3 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hmm. I haven't heard anything. Anyone else still waiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEMnerd Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I am and every email gives me a small shock. And the worse part is, I should be more relaxed since I won NDSEG, but this fellowship is better and greatly aligns to my field and the direction that the program I am in is moving towards.

hokster Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Sounds like you guys might be on the waitlist. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSYIII Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Rejected as well. Good luck to anyone who hasn't heard back yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty3 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I just checked the results page. There seems to be a few days delay between the mass rejection emails and the acceptance phone calls. It's possible even nobody was accepted today. That's what I'm hoping, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty3 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) For previous years, anyhow. Edited April 10, 2015 by marty3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty3 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just got my official waitlist notification. I was also told I was designated as a DOE CSGF Honorable Mention recipient in my letter, and that I should list it on my resume/CV. Â Apparently there were only 7 awards made this year.

CEMnerd Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Whoa. Only 7? Wow. I got it this year, but I thought there would be more than 7. Is this info available somewhere? Did anyone else who is following this thread win? I hope so. To all those who got an honorable mention, congrats. And to all, I hope you are able to find/secured other funding for this year and receive more next year! Edited April 16, 2015 by CEMnerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
