I tried calling once yesterday and once today. I got voicemail both times. Maybe they aren't picking up at all on purpose?

All the drama is unfolding right when I have to go take a physics test. I'm sure I'll have a lot to catch up on here in an hour and a half.

In moments like this, I like to think that someone from the SPO is following this forum, and laughing their asses off. They probably share particularly entertaining posts with their cube-mates.

Someone at the SMART Office is laughing their head off.
"This is going to be hillarious! Watch me troll all of the applicants."

They probably have an RSS feed on a big screen so they can all watch as we squirm.

I sent a email asking when we will be notified earlier today at 2:26 PM. No answer as of yet. Maybe they are busy trying to get everything ready... I hope.

But doesn't it make you feel better that someone is enjoying the process? ... No, me either.

Maybe they all took the day off. Wouldn't that be hilarious?

The SMART website has been changed, it seems like its running a green color scheme as compared to a blue one? The updated date at the bottom has changed to today

Whenever anyone writes in it slows the process. They have to drop that person from the acceptance list and put a runner up in his place.

Strange...it's only the home page that has a new update date at the bottom. All of the other pages I looked at still had old update dates.

Green must mean they got their funding.

I noticed the webpage. The date is changed to todays. So they must be updating it because i went to FAQs and it said page not found. hmmm could they be preparing/updating the website so when awards go out, awardees can log in? hmmm.....

A point of contact for the army said that (as of 3:00 PM) the ASEE has yet approve the budget for the various Army awardees. Considering what us going on on the recipients side, this makes me question the likelhood of hearing back today or even tomorrow.

If that's true, then we probably won't be hearing back for a while. In which case, I guess its time to stop worrying.

Just a quick question: I was reading through some of the material related to accepting the scholarship and it said that there is a $5,000 cap on outside scholarships. I'm assuming this is old, however, since there are several other posts throughout this forum that say this cap has been removed. I guess I'm just looking for a definitive place where I can find this in writing, can anyone provide a link?
