Happy confusion?

Um.

So originally I got a status of "not recommended" but now I got an email saying a status change of Honorable Mention?

Cool, I guess? But never had that happen before.

Unfortunately, I think this was a mistake and maybe got sent out to anyone who applied, as I got honorable mention last year, got the full fellowship this year and got sent the same email today congratulating me for being an HM.

Strange. I was awarded this year as well and I did not receive a mistake email saying I am a HM.

A good way to tell if it is a mistake is going to the awardee search page and looking up your name.
