    I actually called them last week and found out I am waitlisted :/ I am anxious to know where I rank and crossing my fingers that they got things mixed up lol.

    O, then just email SSHRC. Give them your number (it's in the email where they said you were advanced to national competition) and ask to know your ranking. You probably won't know until Monday now, though ... They'll give your score and your rank within your committee.

    I'm "downgrading" my CGS for a SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship. Got admitted into Syracuse for the Fall. 
    Hope this helps someone on the waitlist for a CGS, if that's how it works.

    I wonder how it works... For those out of country who win the cgs (congrats!) but have to downgrade, does that mean that they bump the fellowships up? If so, I think it's probably harder to move up if waitlisted. Because, who's going to decline an award altogether? (Obviously it happens, but I wouldn't think too often...)

    Hi All,

    I received word from my GPD that I was given the CGS Bombardier award.

    However, I will be going to the USA for my PhD and will not be able to bring my CGS with me, as I believe it can only be held in Canada. This means some of you on the wait list may have a chance because of me! :)???

    Does anyone have any experience with this? What does it mean that I have to give up my CGS? Do I still put it on my CV etc? Can I downgrade my award to a regular SSHRC doctoral fellowship?

    Thanks

    First of all, congrats!

    You will be "downgraded" to a fellowship. You can still put CGS (declined) on your CV though. :)

    I called the Awards Office at the Faculty of Grad studies at my university this Friday to ask if they'd received the results. She carefully skirted around the answer and said it would be more "fun" for me to find out by "snail mail". (note: I didn't give her my name, so I can't even play with the possibility that by fun, she means I may have been successful). Oh my. Looks like I'll be waiting in anticipation for a little longer with a few others here! :rolleyes:

    I'm no quite sure where the fun is in all this hahahahahah

    The deadline for me to accept OGS (a mutually exclusive scholarship) is on Monday. This late SSHRC business is super annoying!

    O shit -- Surely the SSHRC people know of this. Maybe the letters will actually go out before Friday (somewhere in this thread someone said something about receiving the letter before the tweet). In any case, hope it all works out for you!
