Horb Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Have we determined a pattern of if acceptances come before, after, or at the same time as rejections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x\/x\/x Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 for US applicants to the grad research grant it seems that rejections/alternate notifications go out first, unsure about the language grant. Actually, have any US Research applicants received an acceptance yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they grouped notification by subject group, and maybe the other two who already got it were in different subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to multiple fellowship advisors. In fact, one person I talked to mentioned that they were told it was closer to 90%, which I didn't buy. And yes, I'm referring to priority candidates.

x\/x\/x Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 In any event, they don't make that distinction (priority/non-priority) for the language grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimat Historian Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 How does one know if one is a "priority candidate?" Moza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
