Mine says 'no grant', but I'm cheered up by Stressed.

At least we're all in the same boat. Lets jut hope we all get a response (whichever way it goes) tomorrow.

Quote From killahtron:

Jes still says 'with council' which doesn't help anyone. I don't understand why they couldn't have a system whereby Jes sent out an automatic email with either a yes or no.

Has anyone 'played' with Je-S? If you click on documents, there's a 'maintain grant' option. Does that yield anything for anyone?

For all this farting about, especially poor Julie who has now replied to each of us individually, it would be more straighforward to just tell us our results individually. when i was told they were siging off the minutes, the results were known then! Thats a week ago almost.

Anyone looked at Je-S today?

Damn the administrative ineptitude of the ESRC. They had these since mid-April, nothing happened in May, they were marked in June - why does it take 6 weeks to decide, and then 2 weeks to get result????

Still hope they fund me though..........

Sorry guys - got an email reply to my email from last week (before I phoned and was told they all went out friday)
"Dear David

Thank you for your email. Some letters were sent out Friday and some will be going out today, marked first class.

Kind regards
Julie Dunsby
ESRC PTD Enquiries"

Looks like some will have to wait a bit longer :-s. At least we know they went 1st class!!

Anyone starting to get nervous yet? Will you sleep tonight? Got any nails left? I'm a 'Yes, No, No' person myself!

Just rung ESRC - the woman that answered had the decisions in the in-tray next to her. They are being posted today.

Should they still rely on mails in 2010?! Don't they like quick and easy electronic mails?!

See my earlier post - they will not provide info by email or phone either to applicant or uni.

Quote From alexandros:

My Univ. Nominated Contact just told me that yesterday the ESRC had communicated her that they were almost ready and hoped results would have been out today. I guess we'll have to wait until Monday/Tuesday.

Aaarrrggghhhhh :-s ! Can't cope with all this.

Quote From SocDave:

Anyone tried logging into their Je-S account to see if that holds any clues? I have and couldn't see anything, but that may mean I didn't get it - or it could mean nothing.

Nothing has changed on mine since April. It's still in stage 3 - with council. I don't think we can read much from that though...

No - thats all mine says. Just means its gone from Uni to ESRC. I am secretly glad that its not just me who can't see anything though - means I can still hope!
