Can anyone post the wording of a rejection letter? This is my first time applying to the program, and my letter almost sounds like a wait-list instead of a firm no. I was wondering if this is their standard rejection letter or not.

Ben C,
Are you a retention candidate?

Where are you going to school?

Whoa they're finally sending them out now? That's great!
I haven't received any notification yet, but I was the one earlier that didn't get notified of semifinalist status on the day of, so there's a good chance I mistyped my email address of something :(
Congratulations and good luck to everyone, I hope to be able to post my status very soon

I got a rejection letter that was worded vaguely as well:

"This message is to inform you that you were not chosen as one of the 230 Round 1 Finalists for this year's award competition. Please note, a second round of up to 70 additional awards may be issued this month. Your application may be reconsidered for award at that time. ASEE will keep you apprised of your status as new information becomes available. We appreciate your interest in the SMART Scholarship Program.

Thank you,

The ASEE SMART Scholarship Program Team"

Is this what everyone got or is there a hard reject and a soft reject?

I am going to school at University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, AR.
I am not a retention candidate. My degree program is a hybrid of solid state physics and electrical engineering that focuses on the science of mirco to nano scale electronics.

Very cool Ben. I work there currently. Just received a fellowship for a 4th sabbatical to get my PhD. We're bringing lots of PhDs in.

I applied for SMART, but I wasn't picked by Crane because I'm already funded and they wanted to pull other folks in.

I'm sure we'll cross paths.
