Fightin'Irish

Congrats to all the winners! I didn't receive an award this year. Will try again in autumn. My score was 11.2 out of 20. I don't think I was waitlisted. A friend opened my mail and emailed me the result and didn't mention a waitlist. I think he would have if the letter stated I was on a waitlist. I'll repost if it turns out I was waitlisted. I think I'm in category 4 (social science, linguistics etc.) I saw someone earlier on the thread that was waitlisted with a 11.5 in this field so perhaps I just missed the cut-off? My stats are: 4.0/4.0 GPA MA & 1st year PhD internal awards OGS 1 peer-reviewed publication (in process at time of application) 1 co-authored book chapter (in process at time of application) Several non-peer reviewed publications from my former life Several conferences (2 international) Strong letters of reference Work experience in field I'm not sure what I could have done to make my application stronger. I'll work on my statement again this summer and make sure my references didn't lie when they said they wrote "strong" letters of recommendation I know this has been said before but pedagogically it would be useful if SSHRC gave some feedback on these applications. Even one working point per application. Reading through this thread it's evident that people put a lot of time and effort into their applications only to be met with a number that can't even be cross-referenced with SSHRC's evaluation criteria. Anyway, enjoy summer everyone. See some of you here in the fall!

Great to hear, Jeremie. I guess we'll just have to sit tight and wait. Or have a bath as ineedfun(ding) says! Have a good sleep everyone.

I'm having the same doubts. It's almost comical how speculative/cryptic this whole SSHRC process is! But it does seem odd that no one has received notice if the letters were posted Monday; Canada Post is bad, but not that bad! Anyhow, I just read through this whole thread and I thought I'd make an account to wish all of you fellow SSHRC-waiters well. I was fine until I read this thread now I'm all nervous. I just want to know at this point. Best wishes everyone!
