Alternates don't give up hope! You can contact your department and find out what your rank is. I was 9th at UVic years ago and I got it after the first 3 week decision period, and I'm not sure what my UBC rank was but I also got it there too after 3 weeks. Two alternates became two offers, so you never know.

I think I just made it, ranked 25 out of 194 applications!

Omg I'm going to cry - Committee 169 CGS-D3!!! I was refreshing the page and the date didn't change, but then I clicked on the folder and it was there!!!

Same! NSERC likes to torture me. I bet I get results at the bitter end lol that's what happened 5 years ago on my first rodeo

Hm so maybe I'm not in 195, anyone from 169 get results?

I don't know if I'm 169 or 195 - but no results yet

Just a quick search and it seems you can't transfer anymore - I think before they used to allow some exceptions. https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Students-Etudiants/Guides-Guides/TriRTA-TriBFR_eng.asp#changeinstitution CGS M, Vanier CGS and Banting PDF No changes to institution are permitted for these programs.

I like the way you think ?

Already one beer in, next is a glass of wine

Did you apply for a CGS-M to Western? There is a form you can fill out to transfer NSERC between institutions but I think it has to be exceptional circumstances, since they are not meant to be transferable. I transferred mine between departments but at the same institution...

I feel like that was a lot of anticipation for an empty folder lol. Anyone else waste most of their day today?

Got the two e-mails - last name D

It depends what your rank is, I was an alternate at UVic and ranked 11 I think, but I still got it. I had to wait the 3 weeks for everyone to decline offers.

Acadia is also terrible for TA pay. My partner received $1500 for 100 hours of TA work per term. I went to UVic and it was $25/hour for 200 hours ($5,000) per term. At UBC I think it's $15/hour for undergrad TAs, $30/hour for Master's and $32/hour for PhD students. Also I just got the e-mail, last name D

I'm applying to M.Sc. at both, actually I just found out I got the NSERC to UVic as well!! UVic is a master's of geography (landscape ecology) and UBC is a master's of zoology! Although I don't know how many jobs there are in zoology these days...
