NDSEG 2016

[iseedoug]

I can't log in. However, that could just mean I am on a wait list??? right???

[floop]

It could also mean they are sending out notifications one by one and haven't gotten to you yet. 

[iseedoug]

Lets hope for that! 

[chaparral]

I got it too, but I will decline, since I already accepted GRFP. GRFP is better for my purposes, since I can put the fellowship on reserve the first year to use an institutional fellowship.

But hey, I hope that means one of y'all on the waitlist will get an email saying you got it!

[chaparral]

I have to say, I am really impressed with NDSEG this year. It sounds like the waiting process in previous years has been brutal, but this year they kept us informed on the Facebook page months in advance, with continued updates and a relatively early notification. Also, it sounds like they will be more clear about whether you are on the waitlist or not.

Are you winners receiving email notifications or are you logging into the award site to check?  Congrats, guys!

[iseedoug]

Congrats Chaparral! also....Thanks for declining! haha

Where on the award site does it say whether you got the award? Just on the home page?

[Argon]

People are logging on here https://ndseg.asee.org/award and it shows them. Your application page should also update I've been told.

[floop]

It's still telling me my password is wrong so I'm guessing I didn't get it. 

[iseedoug]

same  password is incorrect

Samesies. Well at least I got a raise for passing quals this week. Puts my stipend up pretty close to the NDSEG, but it would have been nice to put on my resume.

[Munashi]

I can't log in either, so I guess I'm out of the race too.  Congrats to winners!

[faradayfangirl]

you guys are awfully pessimistic... though I guess it's better to expect nothing than everything?

[jjjjjelly]

Just received the official notification!

[biosci]

Just got official rejection.

Same.  

Surprised, considering my grad school acceptance rate was not too shabby. 

[swoarrior]

Did anyone get an actual "wait-listed" email?  I'm just wondering if there is no chance, or a almost no chance left.

[iseedoug]

Received rejection email at 1:38PM  EST. 

Somewhat surprised because I received a wait-list in 2014 when I was coming into graduate school, and I am much better of a scientist now.

Adding information

[forcejuggler4]

I received an "alternate selectee" notification and then immediately a rejection notification. I emailed the program team and they confirmed my status as an alternate selectee.

[pterosaur]

Welp, no NDSEG for me. It's weird that I've gotten one of the three fellowships I applied for so far, and it's been the most competitive of them. It's a crapshoot!

[JonJazz]

Someone should ask via Facebook or Twitter how many alternate selectees there actually are.  If I had an account, I'd be all over it.  They seem to be quite responsive in answering inquiries.

[ducktape]

On it. Will see what they say.
