Matchbook

Well, I was right about being close I guess. Found out a couple of weeks ago that the waitlist got to me and I'm now the happy owner of a shiny SSHRC CGS

I'm not a theory guy, but first-to-mind for critical work is certainly York. Also, might want to look into UAlberta; a lot of York folks ended up there.

Well crap. Close but no cigar, I guess. Direct application, my first try. Waitlisted at 17.8. Seems like I was oh-so-close! At time of application: -MA SSHRC -Couple other graduate awards, a few undergrad achievements -87% Undergraduate GPA -4.0 MA GPA -0 Peer-reviewed publications -1 "Other" publication (a co-authored public policy advocacy piece) -2 Conferences -1 RA -Several years of work experience, including some management -Good references, including from my superviser, who's a big name in the field Assuming an award doesn't get bumped down the wait-list to lil ol' me this year, I'm hoping some extra awards and a stronger research project will put me over the top for round 2.
