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

This must be the message that all "nonawardees" got... I got that one too...

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.

Are you a retention candidate?

Where are you going to school?

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.

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

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.
