  1. FYI, quarter-finalists have already been contacted and had to submit their video last week, good luck to those who made it to this stage and to others, better luck next year!

  2. First time poster, long time lurker here as well. I received my letter last night and was awarded a CGS!

     

    Committee 3 

    Anthropology, archaeology (except classical archaeology), archival science, communications and media studies, etc

     

    Direct applicant on a sabbatical from school while I work as a researcher.

     

    My score: 20.7/30

     

     

    Stats when applied

    • 3.85/4.3 Undergrad GPA 
    • 4.17/4.3 MA GPA
    • 2 very strong letters, one of which mentioned I was the top student the department has had in the last 10 years
    • 1 peer reviewed book chapter forthcoming (sole author)
    • 1 co-authored peer reviewed article forthcoming (main author)
    • 2 non peer reviewed publications (one sole author, one second author)
    • 10 peer reviewed conferences (9 as presenter, one as second author)
    • a couple community and invited talks
    • 5 RAs 
    • 3 TAs
    • two years of professional research experience leading a community-based project
    • Masters SSHRC
    • a couple travel grants and one undergrad award

    I did about 6 major edits of my proposal, had it looked over by 4 faculty, and participated in a peer grant writing workshop. My project is innovative and could have tangible ramifications beyond academia.

     

    To everyone who got it congratulations and for others who were not so lucky (as luck has a lot to do with it), don't give up and continue buffing up your application!

     

    Also, if anyone is waiting on FRQSC I will be turning down my award with them.
