keepsmiling:) Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 I am an undergrad that applied for the GRFP. So far I haven't been accpeted to grad school. If I receive a GRFP (which I highly doubt I will), do you think I could contact the schools I applied to and ask if my application can be reconsidered? Just looking for opinions! Thank you!

That's a possibility, but it highly depends on the program. If the POI is the main decision maker, then it is more likely.
Bayesian1701 Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 That person is probably just messing with us. It could even be the same person that said they would come out today that created another account. I really wanted it to be today because I had an early flight so I could actually be awake when I got the email. Maybe my initial prediction of 3/23 is right? Are there any explanations for the Tuesday/Friday pattern? Could it be just luck?

I suppose it could be just luck, but seems like a large enough sample size that some explanation must be behind it in my opinion.
cemeterydr1ve Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) At this point, I think it’s anyone’s guess when the results will come out. And I don’t think anyone hanging out on Reddit or GC has “inside knowledge,” or any information other than a guess based off of previous years. Other than it being a Tuesday or a Friday sometime before mid (or late?) April, who knows when it’ll come out. I knew it wouldn’t be out this morning, but I was still disappointed when I woke up this morning to no email. I’m tired of waiting!! I just want to know. Sigh. Edited March 20, 2018 by mircakes

Yes, absolutely! I have heard of people initially being rejected, but then admitted after winning the GRFP (one got into Harvard for bio this way).

nanograd Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 03/21/18 - NSF is closed on March 21st due to inclement weather. FastLane user support is unavailable. The weather has it out for us. SaltyHatter 1

Even if I don't get it, the reviewer comments are helpful and I am looking forward to them. grilledcheese1 1
Marinebio444 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 1 hour ago, BabyScientist said: Agreed. Knowing which day the results will come out won't help you get it. You're asking grad students and future/potential grad students to quietly wait for something potentially life-altering. The level of anxiety in this thread is pretty damn high. We all just want the process to be over. This thread serves as an outlet for everyone's nerves and anxiety. I actually find it pretty therapeutic, and it's actually helping me get my work done (as opposed to just refreshing Fastlane over and over again). amwhite, masbrkom, mmckenn5 and 7 others 10

siliconchins Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Dang guys, I'm really hoping for the announcement on Friday, whether good or bad. I'd like to know for sure so I can finally get my boss to stop asking me every morning whether they've released winners yet T.T

I have a class paper due Saturday and a Master's proposal due Monday and haven't been able to do much on either due to all the anxiety.

Behavecol Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Agreed! This all is helping calm my anxiety a bit! Just knowing that there are others out there that are freaking out about this as much as I am puts me a little more at ease. grilledcheese1 1
