Nooooope

Received mine at 4:49PM on the extranet. Unfortunately, a rejection. Committee 3 So seems like some are coming out after 4:30PM. Good luck to those still waiting and congrats to those who received good news!

YorkU 24xx Committee 3 And... nothing. No access yet

Good luck! I was wait-listed unfortunately.

You can contact the Research Officer for results.

Thanks!! I got two emails, one from SSHRC with an application number and one from the University.

Just received notice that my application was forwarded to the national competition

Accepted York's offer

Congrats! Yup, I received the standard FGS offer email mentioning a minimum funding package of ~$22.5k and a congratulatory email from the dept. I contacted Prof. Walsh and he let me know of my rejection. I exchanged a few emails with him and from the sounds of it, the admissions committee has more or less wrapped up and made their decisions known. Very few positions, tons of applicants, and limited faculty interest in the history of technology all worked against me. Not exactly surprised by it.

I popped into the IHPST office on Friday and was told me that offers will be 'trickling out over the next couple of weeks.' So, no new information really. Cruel bit of hope and more waiting, haha.

That I am!

In general, I'm interested in the cultural history of technology and technological imaginaries, with a particular focus on Canada during the Cold War. I'm drawn to technologies that Canada has used in an attempt to construct a 'unique' identity, create the perception of control over its frontiers, and demand levels of recognition/sovereignty from global powers. Currently working with Edward Jones-Imhotep and would continue on with that if I decide to stay at York for my PhD. There is definitely a good selection of profs to work with based on your interests, with Aryn, Natasha, and Ernie allowing you to address it from a sociological, anthropological, and historical viewpoint. Denielle Elliott would be another possibility. I'm not sure if Aryn has mentioned it to you yet, but this 4S/EASST track will probably post up a few papers that will be of interest to you once finalised: http://www.nomadit.co.uk/easst/easst_4s2016/panels.php5?PanelID=3930

Congrats to you too! Thanks!

First acceptance under my belt, so that is a nice bit of relief. I have a feeling the rest will keep me waiting well into March though.

Stress levels increasing...
