@Misswan :
My background is in creative writing, but my current work is in game design and game studies. I have a loooot of conference papers under my belt, 1 forthcoming book chapter (my only refereed publication, really), a lot of games, and I have non-academic publications (I was the managing editor of a lit magazine and I guest-edited two issues, including one on games).
Hey all,
Long-time thread lurker here, and wanted to provide data for people looking at cutoffs and things. My score was 15.4 and I was awarded a Bombardier CGS. I don't know which committee by number, but my project is research-creation-based.
I got my official letter yesterday. For Concordia students, any idea how that topoff award of 6000 works? I thought that recipients just got it but then on the site it says for people activating a SSHRC at the official start date of their program of study...
So Concordia just let the cat out of the bag! I got it!
STATS
Applied in first year of Masters' on basis of undergraduate grades
GPA: 3.9
RAships: 1
Awards: 5
Uh...dunno what other info to provide!
Is it Mid-May yet? I have a friend that found out on May 13th last year. It would be really nice to know since if I don't get the SSHRC I'll be able to look for non-RA contract jobs that are more than 10 hours a week...something I've sort of been delaying because I don't want to be that jerk that accepts a job offer then declines later on.
Concordia has started sending out emails for the Masters' level competition! I found out this morning that my application has been forwarded to the national competition.
About my stats:
GPA: 3.9
RAships: One, but as managing editor of a magazine that has affiliations with the school.
Scholarships/Awards: Entrance Scholarship (Shuffle), Gustav Levenschi Scholarship, some other awards.
Letters: From two profs that knew me very well.
