NCWIT Aspirations in Computing Award 2019

Hello! Who else applied:D?

I applied! Did you hear back yet?

Nope not yet! You?

I judged applications this year. Good job, everyone who applied.

@CourtneyThurston do you know when awards will come out?

It varies by affiliate.

@CourtneyThurston I mean National & National Honorable Mention

Not sure. It’s always later than NCWIT says, so maybe add a few weeks to whatever their FAQ page says.

@CourtneyThurston Thanks for the reply! If I may ask, what were you looking for while reading our applications?

Without writing a ton of paragraphs, this is the tool I used to review applications. It may shed some light. A combination of the boxes checked yielded the paragraph of reviewer comments that I submitted on each application.

My essay scoring was approximately based on many of the same qualities assessed by the checkboxes. I personally did not consider writing style, grammar, etc, nor did I review the endorsements, which vary so much in quality that I think they really should only be considered in borderline cases to help the applicant.

Huge congrats, @e2001 and @EESSLL! Btw, were all the national winner and honorable mention emails sent out today?
