Hmm. I called back in November to talk to the environmental department and see who might be receiving the applications amd she didn't know but was really nice and encouraging me for reaching out. She connected me with a woman in the same dept who was applying as a retention scholar in case she had more info, and I think it was her who gave me their email addresses.
I didn't receive a reply, so I have no idea if my effort will work out in my favor. I'm terrible at being idle though. As evidenced by my constant lurking here, haha!

I was selected as a semi-finalist and had my interview with my sponsor where I was told he wants me and his placing a bid for me. What does this mean?

Holy sh1t, that's awesome! Basically what that means is that you got the scholarship. When the SF put in a bid for you it means that they want you as their scholar. Every facility has the chance to "bid" on you, but in the end I think that you will be placed in the ones that you preferred.

Are there any math majors/grad students who are semi-finalists? If so, have you been contacted by any SFs for an interview?

Hello everyone,

I was selected as a semi-finalist in February but still haven’t been contacted for any interview, nor have I been informed of anything new.

I was wondering if anyone out there has heard anything so far.

Hope you’re all doing well.
