For those of you who did recieve the award what does it say right now under the transcripts on the smart website when you log in?

I have not heard anything yet and have a theory that they are giving out the awards alphabetically. My last name is toward the end of the alphabet...how about those who have heard??

I have not received an award email yet.....hopefully I will, are you asking because the "Fall Transcripts Received" note has been removed?
No clue what that would mean.

Well the good news folks is that no one has been told "NO" yet.

I feel like dropping all plans I have made for the night and replacing them with the F5 key.

I was awarded a 3 year scholarship to receive my BS in electrical engineering (I'm a freshman undergrad), I never reived a phone interview (from either SMART or the place that picked me), and my email has 8 attachments. Feel free to ask questions!

Time to go take a physics exam... :-\
So you did not receive an email from the Smart Office last week?
That's strange.

I received an email saying they were doing the phone interviews, but not an email scheduling me for a time. My last name begins with an F and I received the email at 3:33 eastern, so the last name thing sounds true.

It also doesn't list my acceptance anywhere on the application page.

I also read on the college confidential website that a person facebooked previous smart scholars, and they never got interviewd by SMART or a facility.

Any others that have received an award email care to share the first letter of your last name?
If you dont mind could you also state your credentials? Such as sponsering facility, gpa, degree type and major, act or sat scores?

Has anyone received an email saying that they have NOT been given the award? Seems suspicious.

I hate to say this, but I doubt "NOs" will go out until after the 15th. That's the due date for all the stuff they sent the awardees. If any of the awardees reject the award or fail to return the documents more awards will be made. I know the waiting sucks, but hay..... I could be wrong.

Last year, I believe everyone was notified at the same time. Those that were selected, those that weren't, and those labeled as Alternates.

Seems like they could be going in order of last name. My last name also begins with N, and I got my email at 12:44AM Eastern.

So anyone received an email past the letter N? Are the emails that have been received pretty detailed explaining why it is taking such a long time?
