Notification not today?

Post by Guest »

Hi everyone. Since it is past 4pm, do you think there is any chance they will let us know today?

Maybe everyone at the office is working extra hard and maybe going to do a little overtime to get them out today

In 2016, the emails went out at 4:30pm ET and 2015 they went out at 6pm ET so they really push it to wait till literally they are probably walking out of the office so they don't have to deal with any of the backlash till Monday

Also on 9/80 schedules they tend to work 9hour days not 8hour days

If that's true, on my word, if we get them today, send me your address and I'll order you a pizza.

To be honest, I don't want my rejection to come out so soon.

I emailed SMART yesterday asking for an update and they got back to me a few minutes ago:
Thank you for your email, award announcements will be going out this month we do know the exact dates as yet.


Please let us know if you have any other questions.
This a a direct copy/paste of the email, so I think they meant to write they don't know when, but I'm not sure

I still haven't gotten the green error, so I'm okay that it's not today. Though I definitely am losing hope that I'll get it.

Hey bro, me too. It is so disappointing. I guess my major (experimental particle physics) is not what DOD needs.

I highly doubt it, but maybe they'll release it Pacific time? I'm from California, so this forum has always been 3 hours ahead of my time lol

Electrical Engineering here, and statistically that's what they take the most of and I'm getting the invalid user/pw error even still today. Guess we'll see what happens.

Does anyone NEED that major?

You guys are giving me false hope. My school was already added to the list of schools receiving an award and they only defined one person receiving it (one of my friends). I'm getting the "Temp Closed" message, but I'm not getting an award. I feel like maybe the "Incorrect user/pass" error may be an indication.

How do you know only one person is getting it from your school?

Its the weekend try and relax alittle, but just to say I still believe the Temp close error to be significant. Many people getting the message appear to have received multiple interviews and appear to be strong candidates. The only real counter argument to this is that people receiving the temp error message do not see there school on the list, but I don't believe they finished updating the list of schools receiving awards. As another user stated in another thread only 124 awards were added to that list (he did this by comparing the page after they added 2016 to the page we saw with the 2017 numbers) when last year they awarded 234 awards and they are believed to have additional funding this year. The question then becomes why did they only add 124 awards and not all of them? Who knows maybe they are only giving 124 awards, maybe they only worked through half the list before leaving for the day, or they divided the work up between two workers and one completed his share of the work and the other worker hadn't begun.

Just to state these are my thoughts and some on this board will agree and others will disagree. I have no more evidence at hand than anybody else on this board. Just try to enjoy your weekend!

If this is true then that would mean they removed awards since some peoples errors have changed to temp closed over the last two days. I highly doubt this is true.

He compared the number next to his school after the 2016 awards to the number it showed after the 2017 awards. I wouldn't read to much into this. I don't believe they finished updating the award school data.
