  1. Banting success! beside myself right now... (finally looked this morning)
  2. I see, sounds great! I am currently on an NSERC PDF, hopefully that helped my cause in the Banting ranks....
  3. who me? haven't looked yet. I have to finish a talk for tomorrow, and don't want bad news clouding my brain! I didn't get an email from researchnet though... Would this have been your first postdoc?
  4. down a bit from last year though (214)....still can't look.
  5. did it say how many total applicants there were?....i can't look.
  6. did you get an email telling you the results were online first?
  7. hopefully letters make it over the border today, we should get mail friday and saturday...
  8. I think potentially both. The results might get posted online first (you should get an email telling you they are up). Depending on how far from Ottawa you are, the letter may be a bit later...That's what I figure anyways, judging by last year's forum posts.
  9. That should apply to PDF letters as well. The timing of my PDF letter from 2011 was the same for everyone else, PGS/CGS, etc.
  10. i am on pins and needles too,...and flinch every time my email application chimes. The 29th sounds promising for an online posting of results on researchnet. It seems from last year's board that people got emails notifying them that the results were online (but not what the result was), and this seemed to happen faster than mailed letters arrived. So friday it is I guess! Does anyone know where the results will be posted once you log on to researchnet? Will it be on the "completed activities" page?
  11. have you TAed? even with a strict rubric there is plasticity.... that doesn't mean they aren't giving it everything to stick to the guidelines (ie., no acting on a whim), variability in scoring just happens.
  12. People, reviewers not excluded, are influenced by perception. Elements of an application may be evaluated differently under such perception than if each element was scrutinized individually and absolutely. Reviewers will almost certainly be more/less forgiving of weak elements of an application given their overall perception of candidate quality. Happens all the time. There are so many elements to the applications. You can write an awesome proposal but if they've already read your weak reference letter they may view it in a different light,... As much as we can wish/hope the review process is robotic enough to be completely objective, the reviewers are human, and most likely tired overworked humans,…! Is this good or bad, not sure. Is it fair,...most of the time I suppose?! I don't think it means they give any less of a damn. ....that's why I think its important to treat your application, with all its components, as an integrative dynamic whole. Each section should feed off of and into the next (cross reference throughout!). Synthesize, and don't rely on any one piece to carry you through.
  13. or news from researchnet?
