kpietromica Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 So I don’t recall seeing anything about pre-doctoral verification? Did I totally miss something super important?

I'm a senior in undergrad and I only had to submit an official transcript and LORs before the supplemental deadline.

That’s what I had thought as I’m also a graduating senior, but I panicked for a second and doubted myself. Thank you @devbioboy
csot Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 From my understanding, we should be hearing back in 3 to 4 weeks! How is everyone feeling?

Zathura Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Hi I don't usually talk on any forums but waiting to hear back about this fellowship makes me anxious. I wrote my heart out on those essays but have to keep reminding myself that 1000+ other students did the same. Does anyone know how many actually applied? Not that knowing that number will make me feel any better
csot Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Does anyone else think the formatting instructions were a little strange? They asked for our document margins to be 1" on top/bottom and 0.5" on left/right. I kept second guessing myself throughout the submission process.

I set it .5" all around last year on accident and had it rejected off the bat for incorrect formatting, no chance for appeal.

I hope that this year, things turn out more favorably.
csot Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Has anyone heard anything about when we'll start hearing back? I feel like I refresh my email inbox and application portal at least 10 times a day.

devbioboy Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 On the website homepage, it says "late March." I think we've officially hit the mid-way part of the month. At least the longest we'll have to wait is 16 more days! We've waited almost 2 months already so we can do it!

Thanks for keeping our spirits up.
Drdee Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Has anyone heard back yet? Will everyone hear a yes or a no by the end of this week?
Sasha Genius Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Nothing yet--last year was the 22nd; in some years it was as late as the first week of April. Good luck everyone!

You're right. Although, I don't think it will be as late as April since the Ford website says we'll hear back by the end of March. Over the past few years, winners have been notified on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. So, this is just pure speculation, but if we don't start hearing back tomorrow, I figure we'll find out next week.
bposadas Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Also, to help add to our collective anxiety, in the past the announcements have come in early in the morning. So if you don't see an email first thing in the morning, you probably won't get an email later in the day. Good luck everyone! This is my third and last time applying... XD
shiningorb Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 I keep obsessively checking this thread to see if anyone has heard back because I'm too scared to check my email >_<
8BitJourney Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Haven't heard anything, rejection or otherwise. I have next year to re-apply but I've already had 2 apps rejected so feeling salty Regardless of how it turns out I'm having a white Russian or some wine!
SmartGirl09 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 yeah I keep checking this thread too, and my email lol. I think/hope we will hear back tomorrow morning

csot Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 I emailed them to ask when we can expect to start hearing back, but they were vague and just said that we'd be notified by the end of the month. Same information that we already had.
Zathura Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 It's comforting to know that there are students out there freaking out about this as much as I am XD SmartGirl09 1
