Good luck! My application is also under review. It's gonna be hard not to think about it!

My application file for PhD program is complete! It's now under review.

Yes, but they have increased the number of scholarships offered. (20 instead of 15). I feel anxious because universities have to submit their candidates by February 22nd. and my deadline for phd admission is January 15. So I don't know when between January 16 and February 21st I will receive an admission decision because you need to be admitted in order to apply to Trudeau.

I feel like I have good chances for Vanier, but feel insecure about Trudeau.

Yeah, It's a new criteria for 3rd year PhD students, I also noticed.

If you click on the portal, there's a link for doctoral candidates that you can click on and the criteria are there. I don't now what's the process at my current university and prospective university, they haven't received their guidelines yet.

It seems like you need to be already accepted into the program in order to apply. My deadline for application is on January 15...

Same lol

Applied for a 4th scholarship today, 1 application left. I also finished the first cycle of coding data. I am now doing axial coding.

I want to pursue a PhD at Ottawa in Fall 2019. Which neighborhood from Gatineau/Ottawa should I live in in your opinion?

Yes, I ended up applying to my current university.

I am trying to lose weight, and even though I eat 3 meals a day plus 2 snacks, I still feel so hungry.

I received the letter of acceptance of supervision from my advisor for my PhD !

I finished transcribing all of my interviews and focus group!

I am sorry! You'll do better next time. It's happened to me also a few years ago, but I did an international conference last year and it went well. It's an opportunity to learn and improve.

Good luck everyone!

Ok, so I have a good sense now of how to use NVivo to code. Now that I am coding (I am doing a thematic analysis), I am using a semi-inductive framework (meaning, I have questions/themes that I want to address and I am open to any other themes that may emerge from the data). But I am unsure if I am applying this framework right.

I only have the focus group left to transcribe! So relieved. I did not think I could do it at first, but I feel like I can definetely graduate on time.

The contest will launch on December 3rd!

I finished transcribing another interview today. Two left now and I'm done with this step!

Ottawa What about you?

I am only missing a LOR to my application for PhD. But I am done with all the other documents. I'm also an early-bird!

I coded two interviews today. I am almost done with the Methods section of my thesis.

I have met with a research coordinator that works with my supervisor and she has given me really insightful information for my thesis (especially the coding process). On top of that, we had a really informal conversation for like one hour and a half after that, it was great. I feel less anxious.
