Although I got the email 2/23/13 saying my results were expected in May, I haven't gotten anything yet, and the site says it is still being sequenced. The results will be encoded. You will need a program to decode it. When you log into the site, at the top one of the options is Software. Under that, they list several programs that can be used. If anyone can make sense of it, I'd love to learn how. Just because I was a mathematical idiot savant at one point doesn't mean that part of my brain didn't shrivel up and die once real life happened.
I am in the same position: results expected in May (2013), status page now says July. I sent them an email in August but had no reply. As a non-American I don't have a GRE or SAT, but when I volunteered I just listed my educational record and career and waited to see what they said. I am wondering what their actual criteria for inclusion are, defined by who they have actually included.
Have any of their participants, on LW or elsewhere, received their data? Or is this whole thing just a ploy to get free DNA samples from smart Westerners in order to, I dunno, craft a deadly virus that only smart Westerners will succumb to? (Joke.)
