Did anyone apply through the NASA OSSI program?

Career Opportunities & Internships
1

<p>If so, have you received any offers yet?</p>

<p>I applied about 2 weeks ago and haven't heard back from them. I think my chances are very low. :(</p>

2

<p>I submitted something my joint proposal about a month ago, still haven’t heard anything back.</p>

3

<p>I had my application completed by February 1st and still haven’t heard back from them. I’m not too worried; all pf my communication with the program recruiters has led me to believe that most decisions will not go out until after the deadline (March 15th).</p>

4

<p>Has anybody heard back from this yet? Their website seemed to indicate that decisions would come out pretty shortly after the deadline…</p>

</p>

<p>Depending on what you applied for, it may still be open.</p>

<p>I’ve noticed that at the bottom of some of the position I’ve applied for it now says:</p>

<p>"You are currently unable to apply for this opportunity. This could be because</p>

<pre><code>* The application period for the opportunity has closed

  • You may not have an application completed for the session the opportunity is offered for
  • Your interest profile may not have been completed
  • Other students have already been made or have accepted offers for this opportunity"
    </code></pre>

<p>It is only like this for 2/15 of the opportunities that I have applied for (summer internships) which leads me to believe those are the ones that have already been filled.</p>

<p>Does anybody know if a phone interview is typically done before being offered a position? I talked to one of the mentors on the phone but unfortunately that was one of the positions I believe is filled.</p>

<p>The way I’ve been told NASA funding for students is distributed is these sorts of fellowships are reviewed on a national level (NASA as a whole), and then they choose to pass along X many applications to each center (though not necessarily the same for each center). At the center, there’s then a chief technologist or something of that sort that looks at those applications, sees he only has money for Y people (where Y < X), and then chooses which positions/individuals to fund.</p>

<p>Not every posting on the OSSI website will get a student to fill it. I know for the GSRP all that’s required to get a spot listed is a person fill out an application with an outline of their project, have their technologist approve it, and then it’s on the website. There’s no guarantee of funding for that spot.</p>

<p>Haven’t heard anything as of March 25th.</p>

<p>congratulations HawaiianPunch!</p>

<p>how soon after the deadlines closed did you get the offer from JPL?</p>

13

<p>Didn’t hear anything back from them as of April 4th… getting kinda nervous =/</p>

14

<p>Haven’t heard anything yet for a fellowship, either.</p>

15

<p>Anyone hear stuff back on a fellowship? I know the person I applied to do a project with has had to respond to a bunch of inquiries about my proposal since my application went in (along with a few other applicants they had), but neither of us have heard anything in a bit.</p>
