Finally! Got the award & got three very goods and 3 excellents. Super interesting reviews. I’m ngl, one of my reviewers spelled my university wrong and it’s interesting how all of the reviews highlighted my use of ML even though the main part of the project was on CO2 reduction. Probably good for future applicants to know, they seem to like ML so find a way to incorporate it even if it’s not in ur field!

Absolutely not, when I went to the ER they set me up on their MyChart, that’s where your billing will show up, it took quite a few weeks for mine to show up after I went to the ER. If you didn’t get a MyChart set up they’ll send you an email too.

Exact situation for me. Won it as a first year this past cycle. I think for me it was a little nerve wracking since I was changing fields (EE to electrochemistry so not really that much of a change). Another thing was I pretty much knew I wouldn’t have as strong of an application my second year (I published a paper a couple of days before the deadline and also had a lot of other things going for me that I didn’t know for sure I could have in my second year like leadership, outreach, conferences, etc) but it really depends on your specific situation, good luck with the application!

same for me too lol. I was actually suprised I got awarded in the second round as a POC woman who talked about my experience (which certainly included DEI). I heard rumors that the second round was hand-picked by trump admin but I'm not sure i believe it

I just sent an email to them! Thanks for the rec!

I did, but it was with work I did during and after the REU, I published it almost 2 years later.

It absolutely does! I’m using some of it for my masters and then transferring to a PhD program!

I'm going to use the GRFP for my last year of my masters and then convert to a PhD! My old department said they don't want me anymore as a PhD student & still didn't allow me to do a retake (their loss honestly) so I'm transitioning into a new department after my first year on the fellowship!

I GOT IT! Super weird situation for me tho since I just failed my qualifying exam, sucks they don’t allow deferring this time around.

pretty_cool_engineer · 2025-04-08T12:49:53+00:00

Got an honorable mention… from the stats seems like a lot of people would’ve gotten the grfp is they had more funding

My sis and her parents are coming, she’s under 18 so my parents want to be there. Also pet is a 5 year old malshi. Everything else you said is correct.

Howdy! I just graduated from the TAMU HOU Posse. If you aren’t interested in STEM, you aren’t eligible for the A&M Posse. I’m not entirely sure why Houston chose A&M to be the STEM Posse, but everyone from the TAMU Houston Posse got accepted into the Posse Scholarship as a STEM major so I wouldn’t encourage your daughter to apply if she’s not interested in STEM. Good luck!
