Re: If your message changed in the last week or so
I checked for change daily and mine did not change till the afternoon of today. I even checked this morning and it had still said "incorrect username/password" boxed in red, but after 5pm I checked again due to others seeing it switch and sure enough I now see the green "temporarily closed" message...

Re: Temp Closed or Incorrect Username/Pass
How do you all know your "area"? Did you all only interview with one branch?

Re: temp closed??
Do anyone know second round works? I mean if we are not recommended by any facility, does that mean we will not even be consider in the second round? It seems to me that the second round is only for those who are recommended but do not receive the award due to budget constraints. From my understand...

Re: temp closed??
How come no one else got a call? Also, are you sure SMART called you and not just the different facilities that interviewed you? I mean it's possible that either a) others who received a call don't check this forum or b) I'm guessing by the fact they hadn't come across all the discussions about awa...

Re: temp closed??
I don't know what you all are talking about with this temp closed thing. Every time I log into my application page (the same one I went to when I filled out the application), my password and username work fine and I go to an application overview page that talks about the purpose of SMART etc. on th...

Re: Announcements today?
My guess is that they will make the announcement next Friday, May 5th due to the fact the SMART said the beginning of May and Mr. Cavenaugh from an SF heard the first week of May from SMART. Another reasoning behind this guess is the fact that they had the telegraphing error last Friday and they are...

Preference Calls?
I know this topic has been brought up a couple times now but seeing as it hadn't happened in the past month I wanted to check if there were any changes. Has anyone receive a call or email actually from ASEE/SMART to ask about a preference for a sponsoring facility? Based on the history the few prefe...

Re: It's Feb 1st, will an email come even if I'm didn't make
I never received an email stating I was a semi finalist, however I received an email from a facility stating that they were interested in interviewing me. What does that mean? Would you mind stating in another forum such as "2017 Semifinalists: phone calls or emails for interview now? " which facil...

Re: Semi-finalist emails? 2017
Right now, it looks like a lot of people made it through the next stage of the award process. How many people were selected to move on? As I recall, it's about 50% that move on in the first stage, then 1/4 are selected by sponsoring facilities, then a 2/3 chance to be awarded after the interview? D...

Re: It's Feb 1st, will an email come even if I'm didn't make
What does it mean to be a semifinalist? Meaning how selective is it to get past this step, and now that I'm here, what chance do I have of getting an award offer? Addressing people who people previously mentioned they did not get an email with good or bad news. After reading many of the previous fo...

There are no words to describe the copious amount of joy oozing out of me but yes like said previously these next few months will seem the longest waiting for the calls and final awards.

Re: It's Feb 1st, will an email come even if I'm didn't make
In addition, in older forums some people stated the emails were sent out as late as February 15th. Honestly I'd rather them take their time and thoroughly evaluate the applications than try to rush to meet a deadline as much as it kills me to wait. For the amount of time that we probably all investe...

Re: It's Feb 1st, will an email come even if I'm didn't make
At this point my assumption is that they are cutting off in rounds. Like out of the 3000 whatever applicants maybe they denied access to, for example, 500 people February 1st. An additional more today and so on and so forth until they get down until the final 50%. So even though I can login now I wo...

Re: It's Feb 1st, will an email come even if I'm didn't make
Is it just me or is anyone else obsessively re-logging back in to the SMART application page to make sure they still can? I noticed that I can login. There is no link to withdraw the application, and also it does not allow for me to access the "Application Instructions" link. Unfortunately I was nev...

Re: It's Feb 1st, will an email come even if I'm didn't make
So i want to possibly try and see it the reason why some people cannot login and others still can may be because they are running an automated system where it is going down a list and blocking access. So potentially people at the beginning of the list may have had the access blocked while others tow...
