expandyourmind Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I was a 2017 Ford Fellow winner and I checked my portal every day. One of the days I noticed that instead of the application page, that it said FELLOW MODULE but it didn't say anything about me winning. A few hours later I got an e-mail saying I got the fellowship. From I gleaned about freaking out over the change in website is that they set up the site in stages and wait until they sent out the acceptances for you to actually access the portal. I'm wishing all you guys luck!!! csot, shiningorb, dumpstercat and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiningorb Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Speaking of the website, has anyone noticed how long it is taking for it to load right now... (as in, it refuses to load at all) Edited March 27, 2018 by shiningorb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumpstercat Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Portal looks the same. No email. ACK. I don't know how to concentrate like this. I really am okay with not getting it, I just need to know either way so that I can move on with my life (and start drafting another application).

(mine still looks the same) When I click on the symbol in the upper right hand corner (if you hover it says printable view) it takes me to a page that says "welcome to the online portal...here are the list of modules available to you: Ford Applicant 2.0 Module"--before when I did this, it took me to an error page that said I did not have access to what I was trying to access.

Assotto Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) My portal has definitely changed. It takes me to a page that allows access to "Applicant Module 2.0." This has never happened before. Hopefully this means decisions soon. Edited March 27, 2018 by Assotto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the time of day it is now, I guess we have to wait another day *sigh* can't wait for them to put all our minds at ease Edited March 27, 2018 by SmartGirl09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microbes4life Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 mine has just changed, but changed after other people had posted about it so it seems like a gradual process so I wouldn't get too discouraged if yours hasn't changed yet. This whole process is driving me insane. Fingers crossed for results soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microbes4life Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Mine says the applicant 2.0 and when you hover over it, it says that you can manage profile, application history, and view reviewer comments. Im worried this means I didnt get it as an application history module as opposed to the person saying last year theirs changed to a fellow module.

Zathura Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Lol I've never been so worked up about a fellowship, I don't even have the focus to understand what website changes you all are talking about on the Ford Module/Application thing. & I'm honestly too scared to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm afraid of...there is after all a difference between "applicant" and "fellow." Last year, they sent results at 9:18, so yes we might have to wait until tomorrow morning. But maybe the time doesn't matter and we will find out in a couple of hours? I wonder if there is anyone here who has signed into their application and notice "fellow module" or those who have signed in but notice no difference? This would be helpful to know.

Herxidor Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The only change I noticed is that when I click the Applications link within the portal that the background for Current Applications is light blue. Maybe it was always like this & I didn't notice?? Does anyone else see this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied last year, so when I go to my 2017 application then that one gets highlighted to blue. What you want to check rather is when you sign in does it take you directly to application or to a link that says "applicant 2.0 module" ?
