2016 cohort timeline (not all dates may be exact but generally occurred around that time):
1. Feb 2: Notified we passed the first round and were told we may or may not receive a phone interview during the next month or so.
2. Feb 15: most were contacted to set up phone interviews by this point (however I still had a facility that didn't contact me until mid to late March). Also, if you don't receive an interview at all, it doesn't mean you weren't selected. Some facilities don't bother with the interview and select based off your application alone.
3. April 8: We were supposed to receive our award notice by April 1st but there was a delay in processing awards and we didn't find out about receiving the scholarship until a week later. Typically you should hear by the beginning of April but it's possible the announcement can be delayed anywhere from a few days to a couple months (this happened one year supposedly).
