I'm afraid I won't finish my thesis on time

I was forwarded to the national competition for the Vanier scholarship!

I'm happy, but am curious to see the comments the committee has given me. Also I feel like half happy because the battle is not won..

I am forwarded to Ottawa

I am forwarded to Ottawa

Waiting to see if I made the cut for the internal selection process for Vanier. I was supposed to know today. It's almost 4pm and still no news from my uni...I'm having a heart attack.

I keep checking my emails, still no news

For this year’s applicants, did you get any news so far from the internal selection process of your university? I will know if I made it to Ottawa tomorrow...

Same thing for me, I made a minor error in my FRQSC application but you’re not alone! These things do happen

Hello, silly question but do you always have to type the verbatim of the entire interviews? Are they methodologies that suggest listening to the audio tape and selecting only the most interesting parts of it ? Because I have for like 50 hours of transcription

Hello, is it better to participate in conferences that are general and reunite people from many different fields or is it better to participate in "specialized" conferences that is right on your research topic?

I'm so anxious. So much stuff to do + family problems

Wow, I did not know about these stats. I think I got this impression because the previous moderators were very active in the sense that they were very present on the forum giving a lot of information, insight, sharing their own experiences in graduate school. I felt like they were "mentors" to many of us, especially for me who's just starting in graduate school & academia.

I had the same thought....the forum is less active than it used to be.

This is so stressful. I will know next week if I made it to the national competition...

I was told that I have to submit through my current uni even if I'm attending another university for PhD. So confusing!

I applied last year and got the award for 2018-2019. I am applying again this year for the Doctoral level, and yeah, at my level, some of the rules have changed (no more references letters for instance).

Participants for my research keep cancelling or changing their dates for interview/focus group, which creates a lot more work for me in terms of number of interviews and transcriptions... I was supposed to have two focus group, which turned into three with three individual interviews, and now I have two focus group and five individual interviews

Wow which university?

I will know on the 19 if I made it to the national competition. What about you all?

The instructor of the course I'm a TA for will let me do a guest lecture on my master's thesis topic this term!!!

Same

I wonder when the criteria and deadlines will be announced

I wonder if I should ask her about it. We've known each other for 5 years. But I don't know if it's appropriate as a student to ask to a supervisor how she's doing because I feel she is under stress...

it's been like this for a while actually
