Anyone able to apply for the 2018 scholarship? I am able to, is that telling?

CFA Level III
#441

I had applied last year and withdrew. Started with 2 boxes. Applied now (Jul 20) and withdrew. 1 box.

#442

For me I think if I didn’t withdraw I would have seen 2 boxes. After withdraw I get 1 box. Same as hedgee

#443

same here, used to see 2 boxes and now after withdraw i c only 1

btw, folks what’s business with estimating you MPS, how do u do that after so many days after exam day. is there solution posted already? I’m baffled )

#444

For those that had applied and withdrew… how many times did you apply and withdraw? and for the folks who are pretty savvy with computers… if they can share how someone can quickly post screen shots here on the messages… that will helpful… so we can start to see what candidates are seeing.

#445

Yeah I’m not sure. Solutions posted already?

#446

This is a very, very sad and pathetic thread lol. Seriously, this topic attracted 15 pages of comments? Why would you even put yourself through the torture? Even if the tell says you pass/fail you wont actually believe it either way until 8/8. You’re searching for some sort of emotional justification to make yourself feel good or worse about your chances. Its ridiculous.

#447

thanks for contributing!

#448

Well, I’ve been participating in the discussion but personally I’m not emotionally involved. We need some time-killer in the endless waiting.

Actually I find the thread fascinating. While we won’t know the results for sure until 8/8 here’s how I look at it: You have dozens of analysts reading signals in a data source to search for some explanatory meaning. It may be a meaningless signal, or it may be a “tell”. It’s no different than scouring stock charts looking for technical signals.

A group of CFA candidates saw a data anomaly and started asking questions. Now they’re collectively trying to determine relevant variables, potential explanatory causes, and documenting the findings that both support and contradict their theories. Sounds like exactly what we’ve been studying to do for the last 3+ years.

I am hereby promoting googs1484 from Captain Obvious to General Knowledge, well earned sir, well earned.

#451

Hahaha that’s clutch! I concur!

#452

Just so you guys know, right now at 1030 EST AM, at least i am not able to login in the CFAI site. Tried a few times. Maybe they are loading results! Is anyone else able to successfully login?

#453

i can log in

#454

its extremely slow

#455

sorry false alarm. slow monday morning, but that could be cfai or is it my company’s internet?

#456

in any event, reapplied and withdrew. same result. 1 box still. so i don’t think they did anything. but it may be worth checking later for others.

#457

somehow i think the results are loaded into email sending program before the website… otherwise they would have made the results on the website available simultaneously…

but to answer your question, i was able to log in this morning, and i tried again now and its clockingg…

#458

Most rational explanation I’ve heard. I can relate to that.

#459

Someone did say it’s a good time killer, which I can agree with. It’d just drive me more nuts having to not only think about if I passed or failed, but now adding into that if my scholarship availability is a tell.

#460

I accept general knowledge and your promotion. I do work hard for that.
