aspiringsociologist Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I am! Unfortunately, we have to wait until April to hear back.Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the recommendation form is like? I waived my right to see it because I felt awkward doing otherwise, but I'm sure there are others who retained access to the comments. I'd love to see the list of questions given to recommenders.

I wasn't aware that there was a first screening. Does this weed out applicants that have a requirement missing? Or is there some other criteria used in this screening stage?

beekay Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 I also didn't know there was a first screening. Where did you hear about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darshanatvm Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I got an e-mail from DPDF asking for my transcript from my current institution. Since, this is my first semester, I ended up giving them a course enrollment document. They mentioned that they will get back after the first screening. I was not sure what that meant, just thought would check with you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Oh thanks for the extra info! I haven't heard anything yet, so not sure what that means :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsssociology Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I applied. I hope I get it. I went on a leave of absence for a year for the birth of my daughter and I am a single mom now. I am a bit slower in my program than the rest of my cohort. A fellowship would look really good to my department and my committee. Does anyone know what percentage of applicants are accepted?

beekay Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Just wondering if anyone has heard anything yet? Notifications were happening around this time last year, so I'm wondering if we'll start to hear soon. kdavid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdavid Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Henry Luce/ACLS sent out acceptances yesterday (2/29).SSRC website says by April, so I imagine we'll start hearing from them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English_Grad Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 pingaling: did you hear via phone or email and was it a generic notification that they sent to all the winners or a tailored notification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tailored to my name. I was shocked to hear so early since the website says not to expect to hear anything until April. kdavid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdavid Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Colleague of mine got hers at about 11 am PST. Tailored email. Sounds like one batch sent out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdavid Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 FYI: This initial batch asks recipients to notify SSRC of their acceptance by March 7. Those on the wait list may hear back by March 8/9. Rejections likely to follow after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
