[abm guy]

I also got the same one.

[guest_ne]

I also got the same one.

is it a rejection email?

[Guest_BYU-I]

I haven't gotten that email. And I had the Invalid User/PW error. Hmmm...strange.

[EE_CE Guy]

Same email here. Doesn’t give me the warm fuzzys.

[littlehope]

I also got the same one. I was one of the later temp closed's and my school had a 2017 award

Is this a rejection letter? I'm quite confused...

I am too. It doesn't seem like a rejection letter, it doesn't seem like a waitlist, but it still doesn't seem like an award would be coming after this...

[guest_ne]

someone said the award portal is open, but im still getting temp closed

[Guest_BYU-I]

someone said the award portal is open, but im still getting temp closed

So yeah, I didn't get any email but I'm still getting the invalid user/pw error.

same. Maybe they sent it in mass and are slowly sending out the awards but won't send out any other rejections??

It just means that your wait listed in case more money are available or some people decline the offer. The odds of you getting an award or hear again from SMART is almost the same as getting strike by lightning.

So as I thought temporarily closed vs incorrect username means absolutely nothing.

some people got this same email with incorrect username/password :/

[DefeatedGuest_BYU-I]

Just got mine...well, it's been fun all. Guess it's nice to get some closure on this. Although I'm certainly sad that I didn't get it, it was a good run. Best of luck all.

same wording as above??

[littlehope]

My guess that it is the waitlist and rejection email wrapped up in one. So that thy don't have to later send out rejections but give enough wiggle room to where if people reject the award then they can still send out the additional awards to others at a later date.
