Slept, but as predicted, had unpleasant dreams lol. Beginning to think that this torture is part of an initiation process.

No not an initiation process; a torturous process to ensure you wont be of sound mind to accept funding and will never reapply for funding!

I'm already one year into my PhD and I can tell you that life seems to be endless funding applications.....however none as bad as this.....

To be honest, I think they will be successful with the latter aim! Not sure I could do this to myself again lol.

Im guessing that your result will be with the stem group. Its probably bulk uploads and computerisation

I kind of expected it though given how it was early may when it was last modified

Where are the successful people! Too kind to tell us?!

Deeluu

I am also 'unsuccessful'

Vin8

Mine got modified loads in late May and early June so I was feeling optimistic. Guess modification date didn't mean much. Suppose just have to wait for the feedback and see where I went wrong.

Perhaps, or possibly had better things to do than to come back on here!

Any STEMs have anything other than "Under Assessment"?

Deeluu

I'm most frustrated to have spent all of that time on the application and to do worse than last year (last year I made reserve) with what I felt was a superior application.

The only upside is last year it took them like a month to finally tell me I was unsuccessful so at least now I know its done and dusted.

Thats two strikes for me now - there is reassurance in the knowledge that I will NEVER have to go through that again.

Good luck on other things my friend!

I got a conditional award. Really feeling a sense of survivor's guilt as this thread really began to feel like a little family. So sorry to hear that some of you guys didn't get it. I have no words.

Nope, I just checked mine, and status is "Under Assessment" too. Aaarrrgh, this is literally driving me mad! I'm just dying to have some news, even if it is just for phase 1!!!
