GRFP, PhD (F17)

Rejected via E-mail on 30 Nov -1

Note

E/E, E/VG, G/F. Haven't seen anyone else report an F on here... really frustrated at the third reviewer and looking into some sort of appeals process. The third reviewer did not even leave any explanation; he/she simply wrote quotes from my essays. The summary comments were riddled with typos and displayed a fundamental ignorance of my research area (which had been explained in depth in my essays). Luckily I have fully funded offers from MIT and Caltech so its not the end of the world I guess, though I would have liked to win...
