*&*

i appreciate hearing about everyone's doctoral sshrc results stories.... as an external applicant this year i went from an initial 27.3 to a final 15.3. i think i understand how the juries are structured, but does anyone know what they are looking at during the first evaluation that they are not looking at during the second? how does one account for such a drop? are they only reading the research proposal the first time around?

anybody else out there who applied to sshrc with a practice-based phd in the arts?
