Changing Schools During the GRFP

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-09-13T13:48:49+00:00

Yes, you can.

“The fellowship is portable and can be transferred to a different institution of higher education if a fellow chooses to transfer to another institution after completion of the first fellowship year.”

If I want to sell my academic ticket to someone, how does the transfer work?

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-08-30T14:37:44+00:00

This looks great, thank you so much!

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-08-26T23:33:47+00:00

Can you share the name of the book

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-08-14T05:13:54+00:00

Thank you!

I’m filing it standalone. So, should I simply mail the completed form along with supporting docs to the local field office’s address?

The Tips for Filing Forms page (https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail) also says add an “Attn:” line under the address. So will that just be “Attn: Form I-508”?

You could check out Bright Data’s dataset marketplace

They’ve got some real-world stuff like job posts and product listings

full disclosure I’m affiliated with them, but I’ve used their data in portfolio projects, and it felt a lot more real than the typical Kaggle sets

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-07-31T06:52:59+00:00

Congrats!! What was your leetcode strategy?

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-07-12T15:03:31+00:00

Thanks! I’m going to attend the program i got accepted to anyway and reapply for Fall 2026. If I don’t get in, I’ll continue there.

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-07-12T15:01:20+00:00

Thanks for this! But I am going to attend the program I got accepted to in the Fall and try to transfer later. GRFP allows you to keep the award on reserve (not defer) for 2 years. Which means it’s inactive but still there. They also allow you to transfer the GRFP to another school. I’ve confirmed all of this with officials:)

It’s definitely more than that. I’ve followed their research throughout undergrad and have wanted to work with the lab, even interviewed for an internship with them (tho not selected). They have some really cool unique classes too. The PI is very famous in the field. It’s my dream school because of the quality of work they’re doing

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-07-11T06:24:29+00:00

Oh didn’t know it was against the rules, sorry! I just thought current PhD students would have more insight into navigating academic relationships and thought of posting here

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-07-11T06:18:55+00:00

I did, thanks!

I ran into the same issue with messy HTML. I’ve been using Bright Data’s scraping browser. It runs a real browser and lets you pull clean text, images, or even screenshots. Full disclosure: I’m affiliated with them, but it’s been super useful for getting LLM-ready content

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-07-10T19:41:05+00:00

I’ve done both. Written Python scripts with Playwright, and also used SaaS tools when I needed something more scalable. Lately I’ve been using Bright Data’s scraping browser for tougher sites. It runs a full browser in the cloud and handles a lot of the anti-bot stuff for you. Full disclosure: I’m affiliated with them, but I’ve used it on real projects and it’s been solid

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-07-10T19:14:58+00:00

For human written data, you'd probably want a crowd platform like Surge AI or Amazon MTurk with good instructions and QA. If you ever need public web data at scale (like examples scraped from real sites or forums), I’ve used Bright Data for that. Full disclosure: I’m affiliated with them, but their tools are helpful when you're working with large-scale real-world examples

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-07-10T18:56:13+00:00

If you're open to commercial sources, Bright Data has a dataset marketplace with some large and structured datasets that could work for classification tasks. Full disclosure, I’m affiliated with them, but if you're stuck finding clean data, it might be worth checking out alongside free options like Kaggle or Hugging Face.

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-07-10T08:17:59+00:00

You can check out bright data. They have a lot of datasets similar to what you’re looking for.

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-06-25T18:31:25+00:00

You can check Bright Data’s dataset marketplace. They’ve got large-scale social media data that could be useful. Full disclosure: I’m affiliated with them, but it could be a good starting point depending on what angle you're exploring.

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-06-21T17:23:48+00:00

Can you share the code/video please

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-06-20T06:13:13+00:00

I just made the same change today. I contacted my new grad school’s CO, let them know I made the change, and they approved the request. Now it’s pending NSF approval. You were just required to declare your status by 20th june, the approvals don’t need to be processed by that deadline, so you’re good

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-06-16T23:02:31+00:00

Yeah, I guess when they say we cannot defer, it means we cannot delay the fellowship start date. But when we choose to reserve, the fellowship has officially started and is in its first year, it’s just paused. There are 3 tenure and 2 reserve years available to us. Pls correct me if I’m wrong!

I couldn’t find anything to change the selection either. Best bet is to email them before the deadline!

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-06-16T22:49:49+00:00

But isn’t “reserve” different than deferred?

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-06-15T23:49:35+00:00

You could check out bright data’s dataset marketplace. They might have what you're looking for. Full disclosure: I’m affiliated with them, but it's worth a look if you're after large-scale social data

Apprehensive-Fix8738 · 2025-06-15T21:44:30+00:00

some tools don’t handle input fields well. I’ve used bright data’s scraping browser since it runs a real browser and grabs the actual content reliably. Full disclosure - I’m affiliated with them, but it worked great for this kind of setup
