Congrats man. Maybe they rejected you because of that j/k

I live in Ottawa and haven't gotten a letter yet!

I hate to break it to you, but research isn't as objective as you'd think Humans will be humans.

Not sure how you don't think people could be bias towards certain students, supervisors, subjects, et cetera.

I'm in Ottawa area and nothing in the mail today. Don't hold your breath on hearing from grad studies and erase NSERC from your mind and enjoy the weekend

Isn't it the same as last year?

I am in Gatineau and haven't heard anything. I haven't tried contacting grad studies, I don't want to be "that guy".

My credentials were pretty good and I was devastated to find out my ranking was 155 out of 207 in my committee! I couldn't believe it. Makes me think I don't have a hope this year despite having my application forwarded again. If (when) I get another rejection I'm applying for an industrial NSERC. Sorry to hear you've been having difficulties finding a cooperative company. Hopefully the budget helps us out this year!
