At least Monday isnt a stat holiday, I'm sure we'll get it on Monday!
As for calling, I thought someone already did?

WOW, this is a game changer!! Throws off my countdown completely haha!  
I think I saw on a gradcafe thread from a prior year that some departments knew before students, but I can't remember if that was Vanier or SSHRC... 

It's SSHRC Doctoral that some departments know before students. I think it's because SSHRC PhD does not use an online system like Vanier or SSHRC MA, so departments and schools know before us.
My school's administrative staff is on strike. So who knows how long that will take to find out about anything.  I can take solace in knowing that I will at least find out about Vanier through ResearchNet.

Wonderful! Now it means obsessively checking my e-mail and researchnet for 2 days instead of one  

yeah my blood pressure is through the roof. Looking forward to a relaxing weekend, finally!

Almost in the single digits!

I was just checking research net (because WHO KNOWS MAYBE THEY POSTED THE RESULTS... they didn't), and it says " Anticipated Notice of Decision    2018-03-30" I found this when I clicked on "View Funding Opportunity Details" 
 
So I guess that kind of confirms what we were saying?? Still secretly holding out for the 29th
Edit: Clearly I'm delirious.. I see that @PsychBoy has already posted this information! Whoops.

We can do it!

Omg! Each day feels like a week. I just want to know. Even if it's a no.

ONE WEEK

Almost in the single digits!

You can list them on your CCV!

Also I almost spit out my coffee when I saw that SSHRC winners had 2 book chapters. WHAT EVEN

They did a panel at U of A and one of the previous winners said he had no publications and won (SSHRC)! So there's hope. Plus that's an average, AND that's only 30% of your score.

For those interested, I found this info on Waterloo's website on stats from previous Vanier Scholars at their University. Gives a good ballpark of # of publications  https://uwaterloo.ca/graduate-studies/awardsandfunding/external-awards/vanier-canada-graduate-scholarships-vanier-cgs 
Wish I had seen this when I was applying this year!

Thank you so much! 

My heart can't handle it any longer!

Has anyone emailed them to see if it will still be March 30th? That's actually Good Friday, a stat holiday, so I was wondering if they would send it on the 29th or wait until April 2 (because the Monday is Easter Monday :/)
