I locked myself once or twice by screwing up my password too many times in a row. Had to contact SMART IT to get it unlocked .Is that what's happening for you?

Has anyone heard from APHC in Maryland? I've tried calling the individual departments and the general phone number but no-one seems to know what I'm talking about.
I just got an email from APHC and have my interview tomorrow! One person I called told me to email her Friday and she would send it out to see if anyone knew about the SMART Program. Ended up getting an email yesterday for an interview!

Congrats! Who did you email?
Thanks!
I won't be giving out the email, but I just went through their list of directorates on their website for environmental science (that's the major I'm doing) and one said to email her and she'll find out.
Just finished the interview, I think it went alright except they were late to the call. The questions have been about what the others were posting on here. It was about an hour long. They also said we should hear back in April who received the scholarship, and they send in a 'primary' and 'backup' name to SMART incase the primary person declines..

Thank you for the information, that's helpful to know! Hope you hear back with good news!
For those who had more than 1 interview, have you received any call from SMART/DoD asking to rerank the facility preferences?
After I had my interviews I emailed SMART asking if I could rerank my facilities; they told me to send them my new rankings but said something about it being nonbinding/needing to be approved (I'm not sure, but they at least let me send new rankings). I got an email this past week though about how SMART representatives might be reaching out this week to clarify details about applications so my guess would be if we officially get to rerank it would be through those calls.

As an update, I just received a call from SMART and they asked me about my new facility preferences and more generally how my interviews went.
Good luck to everybody!
Has anyone else gotten a follow up call from SMART this week?
Really? If you don’t mind saying what base? And what did they say? Did they tell you you got it or something like that?
I didn't get a call. The person who posted above my comment did though. As far as I understand SMART may call sometime Monday-Wednesday this week and potentially ask you if you want to re-rank your SFs after your interviews. These calls wouldn't be from the SF, they would be from SMART because they're in the process of placing people with SFs. You didn't get the email last Friday from SMART?
I’m confused. Did SMART email all semi finalists last Friday? (3/19). If so, I didn’t get one
I don’t think so! I had an interview on Thursday of last week and the guy who interviewed me said that their facility had a local deadline of the next day (last Friday) to submit their selections for smart scholars. I believe other facilities still might be interviewing/have different local deadlines and SMART releases the results for all of the facilities at the same time, so I wouldn’t worry!
