My stats (I'll edit this post when I get my letter):
Received 20k/4 year SSHRC. Just completed 1st year PhD.
1 year PhD GPA was 4.15/4.3; I had less than a 4.0 for my cumulative MA GPA (3.5 years), though my last year was a 4.something (I think 4.08).
0 publications
12+ conferences, including 1 regional, 1 national, and 1 international
1 teaching course at major Canadian University, 5+ courses at Quebec CEGEP, over the last two years.
Several guest lectures/invited panelist (Like Zaftig, my field is very specialized)
6 TAships
1 RAship
1 External fellowship during my MA (final year).
This was my first time applying for a SSHRC.
