VG/VG, VG/VG, G/G The first two reviewers were very kind, mentioned that I had a strong background, though didn't offer much in the way of improving my application next time. Third reviewer took issue with specific parts of my methodology as well as significance of project. Senior undergrad.

Reasonable and expected. Based on the feedback, it sounds like my application was good overall (although, I got conflicting feedback on my Broader Impacts section). Imperfects aside, the real deal-breaker for them was my lack of research experience. Undergrad. Next year, hopefully!

Just found out and I am so excited! I will update this post once I learn how I scored on the application components. I have my MA already and this was the last year I was eligible to apply.
