I hope this is not true xD Do people remember what was the equivalent to the March 14 date last year (the date that appeared in the follow-up Informed field)? Just to see if we really should expect the results on that date, or if we can still be hopeful xd

It was 8/9th February. They had said 8th I think. They sent acceptances on 8th and rejections on 9th

It was 9th on follow-up page. Someone got the result already on 5th from their host and Dreamer got the list at 6th.

OK, thanks! I got my rejection last year on the 9th. Can someone confirm that accepted people got their emails on the 8th? That might be relevant this year, since 14th is a Monday. Do you think they would send acceptances on the Friday before?

I am not loosing faith that we will know before the 14th actually xdd

Yes, last year they informed accepted people on 8th Feb while emailed about rejection on 9th. So, I am sure that they will inform to accepted people on 10/11 March (Thursday/Friday) and rejection email on 14th March (Monday) unless they work on weekend.

I just checked last year's forum, and it is true that some people got the acceptance on Monday Feb 8th morning, while the rejections were sent mostly the Tuesday 9th, I believe. Since this year the deadline itself is a Monday, I don't know how they'll do it. Hopefully they will send at least the acceptances next week? Fingers crossed!

I feel like they won't email accepted people on a separate day to those rejected, following the anger last year about this. Especially with a whole weekend in between where you will have people announcing on social media that they have been funded and others with no email wondering what's going on and then cannot even get in touch with NCPs/host institutions for information.

Found this from last year about this: https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/eur ... 69.article

If we follow what happened last year, phase changes started on Wednesday 3rd and continued through to the Thursday. Those who got funding got emails on the 8th, rejections on the 9th. Perhaps this means, as we got phase changes on Tuesday and Wednesday this week we will get emails from Monday, but nobody knows and I wouldn't trust what NCPs say, apart from the fact that we will have results by the 14th at the latest.

oh boy, ten more days of this... I guess it's true that we've waited this long so we can wait another 10 days but agh!! also the status changes seem to have been much closer to the announcement last time no'?

These ten days will be the longest ten days. To check here and the application system has been the first thing and the last thing to do of a day.
Fingers cross

You cannot compare these ten days with the days prior to magic link changes... In Dec we all knew that results were not available, but know we are dying down...

true indeed...

Thanks for pointing us to that article! Seems like we will likely not see notifications on different days for acceptance and rejections. I think that makes more likely that we will all be informed on the 14th, sadly. On the other hand, it is true that status changes happened further from that day than in last year's case, so perhaps there is still some hope that we will all be informed some day next week.

In my case I have a job interview on the 14th so I really would like to know before that day and get some good sleep that night xdd
