Rats... thats pretty disappointing.

Thanks for the update... what a roller-coaster. Good to know there is still a chance. Haha, it reminds me of some high school party where only the coolest kids get invited. I've got a cousin whose old enough to buy beer - do think they'll let me in if I show up with a two four?

Well, I've never really been convinced thats the case - if so then great. I will be very content with that. However, the wording for that part is actually quite strange and could be taken a number of ways - it does say 'offered the CGS if applicable'. Presumably 'applicable' means that you have passed through the selection process. I know that international students who got forwarded for Vanier won't be applicable. I struggle to believe that SSHRC would have given the Universities a free hand to decide which of their students will be gauranteed a CGS. I guess I'm going to find out. The really good news here is that I see Linguists and Historians are making the cut. Congrats guys. I couldn't help but follow how the selection commitee for Vanier suddenly changed in early February and seemed to be composed strictly of business connected people. I'm happy this scholarship didn't just get tangled up in the politics of the economic crisis and 'ear marking' buisness.

Wow congrats...! Hmmm, I didn't get invited to this party in Ottawa - which isn't encouraging. I can't really think of a scenario where only some of the winners got invites. Oh well, happy to have made it this far and there is always next year.
