  1. Haha, good, keeping the physical proof of my failure last year is good for something. So, unsuccessful (but waitlist) letter starts like: Dear NAME: I am writing on behalf of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) to advise you of the outcome of your application to the 2017 Doctoral Awards competition. I regret to inform your that your application was not among those award funding this year's competition. Although the Council is not able to offer you an award at this time, your application was deemed of high enough quality for your name to be placed on a waiting list... blah blah blah information about scoring/my score
  2. I have it too. Not to discourage anyone - but I don’t think it means anything to see the option to apply for the supplement. I’m pretty sure I had it last year too and I was waitlisted. So, don’t take it too seriously if it’s not there. Also: in terms of research - there is literally no way I can do my research anywhere but a very small specific area of Canada, so I don’t think that it matters if you specified regions outside of Canada either.
  3. Have you looked into anything that might use whatever volunteer stuff you have? My understanding is that most speech-path prospective students have done some amount of work with populations that they might interact with and that could be applied to getting a job working with people in some kind of leadership/tutoring/care role.
  4. I'm in the process of deciding what few things I have room in a suitcase to bring. It's quite the challenge. I go between excitement and fear about moving across the country. But, it will be nice to reinvent myself.

    Let me know if you figure something out for finding people. Grad house is my first choice, but I'm totally wary of likely needing a different plan.

    I received an offer and declined.

    AH. I can't even deal with this right now. I got offers from three schools (and no decision from the fourth) for SSHRC, even though I've already declined admissions offers from two of the schools.

    Pretty much right after this I got an email and 3/4 of my schools are updated. Now the waiting. Hoping that they make it available at midnight EST... Means I might find out at 9:00PM here on the West Coast :3

    I haven't received a single email about my status being updated. I'll assume that's a bad thing?

    It was the program itself. I think they were just trying to recruit me by saying that I had a shot at it. (I declined them already though.)

    I'm SSHRC and I haven't got any of these. (Though I really just care about U of T...) Ugh. Good luck everyone <3
  12. Toronto is a little different with funding, I believe. I know that there is a guarantee of at least 15K + tuition (unless you have external funding and then you don't get as much from the university). I would assume that if they have not told you otherwise, it's around this? They also might want to know if you have SSHRC or OGS before giving you specific numbers. It does not hurt to ask though. Mention that you would like that information because it factors into your decision. Additionally, hol tight for the letter. I received an admission email two weeks before receiving the actual letter (though funding is not detailed in it).
  13. I met Hayley Williams of Paramore and she said that I had a pretty smile. That was really cool. Oh, and Margaret Atwood replied to one of my tweets. (Though, alas, I have never met her though I have heard her talk live.)
