No such thing as "over thinking"; You are just "missing something".

Anyone get emails today? Post when you do to put others out of their suspense... also, does anyone know if applicants who weren't chosen will receive an email letting them know?

This is super embarrassing, but I was reading this thread thinking it was started in 2011. I even emailed ASEE asking why I never received a recommended semi-finalist email.

I was confused and getting super distressed because Hanscom AFB told me up front that I was being recommended as their top BSEE choice. The rep from Hanscom whom contacted me before did confirm that I won't know anything more until I do or do not receive an award letter.

Leave it to an engineer to overthink when you look something important over.

No more guessing... I e-mailed and they answered...

Jim,

No, there will not be another announcement until the final award notifications go out. A definite award date has not yet been named; award notifications are tentatively scheduled for the end of March| the beginning of April. We will notify semi-finalists if this date changes.

Thank you for your patience.

I don't think that if you do not get an e-mail you are out of the competition. There are many things that are not being done like previous years, like the fingerprint cards for example. Besides, one member of this forum (Ian C) contacted ASEE directly via e-mail asking a similar question, here is an extract of his post:

"4) Will I be notified on/near March 15 if I was not recommended to SPO for award, or will I just have to assume I was not if I never get an interview from SPO?

All semi-finalists will receive notification at the end of March if they have been selected as an awardee. The SMART Program has not notified us as to whether next-level notifications will go out before then or not."

Based on that response and the timeline posted on the SMART Scholarship Website, we will find out on or about April 1st.

Don't give up yet!

It was not my intent to suggest that only to bring up that we might be getting letters soon and to keep an eye out. They might not even be sending letters this year as there have been a couple of changes since last year. I just noted that it was right around this time the letters went out last year.

I thought I would post in this thread since it seems most relevant to us again... seems last year there was a finalist e-mail.
so if you don't get an email, then that means you're out of the running? :?: :?: :?:

Please try to keep critical comments to a minimum. SMARTGuide has posted several times, most notably, the stickied second post in the forum.

So we should all get emails today, one way or the other? This waiting game is annoying!

Are they sending out emails or actual letters? I can't tell from the way it's worded.

The same message was posted by SMARTGuide today on this page:

SMARTGuide previously posted in the same thread a few months ago with information:

Perhaps it's not a troll.
