Received the official letter in Interior BC today. Got the SSHRC fellowship ($20k/year) for four years. Score of 13.7/20.

Our grad program emailed out to faculty supervisors and applicants who were successful, so I know I received one, but don't know which one yet. Over in BC, suspect I'll be waiting until closer to the end of the week...

That works if you get it right away, but if you are waitlisted then often your answer is due before you really know whether you are getting it or not! Worth a try though.

Yeah, the new system is weird. It used to be that you were ranked and either got it or didn't, and could take to whatever school you wanted. The schools rank the funding applications completely separately from the actual grad school position applications. Which is how you end up with funding and no position. Ranked well and could pull in money, but the professor I applied with didn't get first dibs on accepting a student that year.

Unfortunately yes, you can get the SSHRC and not get a position at the school. Two years ago I received the SSHRC at both Carleton and University of Saskatchewan, but didn't secure a spot. So had to turn it down! Thankfully I received one at the school I did get accepted at

Decision letters are in. No luck for me this go - hope some of you are getting it!

Good luck today everyone! I am sure we are all enjoying the life of mad refreshing the page.

Sooooo close! Do they send an email out that day when results are out, or do you just stalk the page? First timer here.

This wait is just horrendous . Almost there!

Just received the official email from Research Net saying that it moved forward to Vanier! Here's to the waiting process.

That's nice your school actually informs you! I was damn thankful my supervisor told me, as grad studies had told me I had to wait until final results to find out anything. And I did not notice the font. Although I submitted awhile ago at the end of August, so my memory may just suck.

You would probably have to ask your supervisor - the institutions won't directly tell you. I only know because my supervisor was informed one of the letters needed a tweak before heading to Ottawa.

My supervisor informed me on Tuesday that I was selected for the national competition!

I am in the waiting process too. For my school it goes through my campus (UBC-O), then on to the large campus (UBC-V), and then on to Ottawa. I successfully made it to UBC-V, and find out in January whether it goes national. Fingers crossed for us all!

I was in the middle of a conference call at 9 pm, and just opened my email and had a single line from my POI stating that I was recommended for admission and would be hearing back about my GTA offer soon. Exciting!
