I always do, regardless of the result. I usually write them a thank you email.

Hey all, I will be applying as direct applicant this year, and this makes me a bit nervous. Has anyone gone through the direct application process? Any warnings or words of advice?

Thank you for the replies! I have applied for SSHRC this year, and my application was forwarded to Ottawa (It was my first try; in the end, I didn't get it). At the time of the application, however, most of my MA grades were still pending, meaning that I didn't have to worry about my GPA back then. Because I have been accepted into a non-Canadian institution, I will be applying independently this fall. I wonder how much they'll care about my GPA then. My GPA for MA is slightly below 3.7 (A-).

Hello, Since it seems like almost everyone has heard from SSHRC by now, I thought it would be an appropriate time to ask this question to you all SSHRC experts. I wanted to ask if I should apply for the SSHRC doctoral fellowship this fall. I have just completed my MA, and I discovered that I have received two B+. I have received higher grades for all my other courses. I also graduated with summa cum laude in my undergrad (I have never gone below A in undergrad). I heard that SSHRC is pretty stringent with academic records, but nowhere on their website do they specify what they expect from applicants (in terms of grades). So I was wondering, should I apply for SSHRC this fall? Or would it be a waste of time (because of the two B+)?
