G/VG, E/G, G/VG. So sad. Was told my research was extremely dangerous and that even though I have an excellent academic record, my undergrad record doesn't match my research proposal (BS in Math planning to go to grad school for meteorology). Volunteer experience, several publications, and Hispanic minority.Was wait listed at almost all the schools I applied to and this was my only chance for admission . . .

Has anyone heard of NSF GRFP reversing admissions decisions?

Accepted! E/VG E/E E/E. I'm still smiling about it.

One publication in high impact journal, several years research, posters at national meeting, several undergraduate awards. They seemed to really like my background. I'm a little older as I took a few years off after high school. They also liked my upbringing as I'm hispanic and grew up around a lot of underprivileged people, etc. Also, they all mentioned the fact that my past research experience was strongly reflected in my proposal as they believed I could actually accomplish my proposal. VG/E E/VG VG/VG. Hope this helps someone in the future.
