  1. Mudlark: not at U of T. This year tuition + incidental fees were over 7500 and expected to grow next year. This amount is taken out of my fellowship, which leaves me with 15000.
  2. Congratulation, mudlark! excellent news!
  3. Hey Torontonians, Still up for drinks, now that everyone got their letters? Thursday at 4p is still fine for me, but I do have to be elsewhere in the evening.
  4. I got my letter today. Strange, they still ask you to specify how much SSHRC is awarding you - which is weird, because it's a moot point. I can't hold both, unfortunately. I am declining in history, sweet. (sorry, couldn't help myself. Metukah means sweet in Hebrew)
  5. Has anyone received a letter from OGS? I understand you need to notify them of acceptence or decline by signing their form. I'm going to make someone happy and decline mine.
  6. me too. Anyone has objections or can't come at that time?
  7. No, I'm absolutely open to suggestions. Please everyone, propose another time.
  8. How about Friday @ Victory then?
  9. Do you guys prefer week day or weekend? afternoon or evening?
  10. If that's alright with everyone else - than I'm in! like I said, beer is not a factor with me.
  11. Do you know Harbord House (obviously on Harbord st., close to campus)? I don't know if they serve Guinness (I don't drink beer - I know, blesphemer!) but it's a nice place to hang out and reasonably central.
  12. Thanks for the info. I will probably be around campus on Tuesday (summer TAship. Need to make money to pay rent) and I'll do it then. Has everyone in Toronto got their letters yet, speaking of drinks?
  13. To answer Hypatia's questions: 1. Funded, regular SSHRC ; 19.20 out of 30, 2. Toronto 3. Letter received May 7; Letter postmarked: May 5; Letter dated: May 3 (they kept it around their office for two whole days!) 4. Subject area and/or committee: I'm not sure I remember. It might have been history. Is that helpful? 5. Applied through my university 6. Year in PhD studies when you would take up the award: 3 7. Taylor, Ross, or Queen's Fellowship?? no idea. 8. Anything else you want to include that might be helpful: business-related project pitch? no. publications? one article accepted. major conference presentations? yes. One at the time of application. second time applying? yes, but last time I didn't pass the dept stage. Also awarded OGS but will decline (when the letter finally comes).
  14. Finally got my letter. Score: 19.20 / 30 They also say I must notify the council whether I wish to accept - which can be done by email. However, they also mention I should also notify SGS - how do I do that? also by email? to whom? Are there any forms to sign in order to activate the award? I don't see any forms in the envelope? And Canuck - (almost) congrats. VERY good news. When everyone in TO receive their letters, we can set time and place for drinks.
  15. Congrats on your CGS! Excellent score! And yay for a smoking buddy. Not to many of those left. People quit left and right, as if smoking is bad for you or something... and btw, no letter on this end yet.
  16. congrats! awesome results!
  17. I'm serious. Once everyone knows their status, we should coordinate time & place. It will sure be interesting to meet other people who go to my school and haven't had a chance to meet because of our different programs. I know it may sound a bit strange to get together with a bunch of anons from the internet, but I've done that before, and it was fun.
  18. OMG, at the 11th hour, just before she left the office for today, my dept Grad admin emailed me to let me know informally that my name appears on her list as successful applicant. She'll call them tomorrow to inquire more. <huge relief> Who's up for drinks?
  19. <sigh> as expected, here is the reply from SGS: Dear XX, Thank you for your email. Please contact your Graduate administrator either today or tomorrow, they will have the results. <end quote> in the meantime, no one is getting back to me at my department, and I'm afraid by the end of the day the men in white coats will come to take me away.
  20. Did you find out at your dept or SGS? Well, at least waitlisted doesn't mean an outright "no." There's still hope. And we can all still have a drink. <going insane here. not knowing is worse than rejection>
  21. I emailed both the grad coordinator and the federal awards person at SGS. I'm not expecting any kind of revealing info from them, but I can't just sit here and do nothing. I'm out of fingernails to bite!
  22. I thought I heard the familiar sound of shoving envelopes through mailslots, but nothing happened here. So there are two options, neither of them bodes well for me: Either there is no main for me today and the dude just skipped over my door, or I'm starting to hear things that aren't there.
  23. Bonding over this stressful process... Hey, if we get SSHRCs, we should have a congratulations drink! (do you think I just jinxed it? )
