Hello, so my REB application has been approved. In it, I mentioned wanting to recruit on the following social media : Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. I started sharing my poster for recruitment, and I am realizing that it makes me very anxious for confidentiality of participants. I specifically asked people to contact me directly through my institutional email to preserve the confidentiality of interested people as much as possible. However, dome people are tagging other people who could potentially be interested in participating in my study and it makes me feel anxious. It's my first time doing this. Am I worried for nothing?

I agree with you on this.

I haven't been accepted yet, the deadline is in January for a start in Fall 2019.

I am so confused about where it is that I have to submit my application. I am currently a student at McGill But want to pursue a doctorat at Ottawa. SSHRC is not clear in their guidelines about who it is that I have to send it to (they talk about universities that have quota, but both McGill and Ottawa have quotas). They keep sending me back to their guidelines and I tell them that I have read them but that it is still unclear to me. My feeling is that I have to submit at Ottawa but I don't want to send my application at the wrong place and have it disqualified. This is what it says on their website: Statut du candidat Où soumettre la demande À l’automne 2018, le candidat est en congé autorisé ou inscrit à un programme menant à l’obtention d’un diplôme d’un établissement d’enseignement postsecondaire canadien qui a un quota. établissement auquel le candidat est inscrit à l’heure actuelle À l’automne 2018, le candidat est inscrit à un programme menant à l’obtention d’un diplôme d’un établissement d’enseignement postsecondaire canadien qui n’a pas de quota. CRSH À l’automne 2018, le candidat est inscrit à un programme menant à l’obtention d’un diplôme d’un établissement étranger*. CRSH À l’automne 2018, le candidat n’est pas inscrit à un programme menant à l’obtention d’un diplôme d’un établissement d’enseignement postsecondaire canadien, mais il a l’intention d’entreprendre des études de doctorat. CRSH

I lost my smile lately. It's harder and harder for me to feel happy these days.

ah okay, after double-checking, no CCV this year and no LORs. Wow. So I just sent my application to get it over with since I have so many to do.

Thank you for your message. My emotions aren't the best these days. I created this thread in November 2017 and my mental state has worsen regarding this. A guy I was dating asked me a few weeks ago if I could present him to a female friend. He basically said "you're brillant, beautiful, fun to be around but I don't love you." I cannot count the number of times I've had men telling me something remotely similar to that. You are good to remain hopeful. I have sincerely lost hope regarding this. I feel devastated and ashamed to be devastated over something like this, at my age. I don't know why it hurts so much.

I'll also be applying prior to my acceptance in my program of study (I am still at the master's level but will apply for PhD). But OGS is not open yet at my uni. Do you know when the program usually opens? Good luck!

I am going to do the interview. #courage #anxiety

A journalist contacted me regarding my op-ed and I literally want to turn down the offer because I hate interviews, I am so anxious just to think about it Plus, my op-ed was about a sensitive topic and I'm afraid I'm not the best person to speak about that

Is it me or we don't have to provide referees (LOR) this year?

Hello, anyone applying to OGS for Fall 2019?

Hello, anyone else applying for FRQSC for Doctoral level?

Okay, so we'll move my RAship to Winter 2019 and I have accepted the TAship offer for this term.

plus they will write reference letters for my actual application to PhD programs. But I feel embarrassed to ask them that because I know they are incredibly busy

Can you work more than 225 hours per semester with FRQSC? I got offered a TAship that I don't want to refuse (but I'll also be a RA next term possibly but haven't been officially hired yet in both cases).

I'm debating whether or not I should apply to OGS and FRQSC but I feel like asking my academic refeeres to write me 5 scholarships reference letters in total (I am applying to Vanier, Trudeau & SSHRC) is too much to ask out of them.

I got offered a TAship for next term because a spot has opened and I was next on the priority list. But I don't know if I can accept it for now because I may also have a RAship. Ideally, I would like to do both but I don't know if it's realistic with everything I'll have on my plate. I'll try to push some commitments to next semester so I make room for that TAship.

Grr, I am only missing the reference letters from my academic referees. But good news: 30 days left before my application is due.

I have my articles and ebooks on an iPad.

I. am. bored. I. am. procrastinating.

I have been offered a TAship for next fall, but I don't know if I'll accepted. I did not get any successful offers a few weeks ago, so I took other commitments for next fall assuming that they wouldn't offer me a TAship. Now I don't know what to do. I have to give them an answer by Tuesday. I also have my thesis to finish and complete...

Yes, you can email them. That's what I'd do. But usually, they ask for abstracts...but double check just to be sure.

My op-ed is published today!

Hello, Applications are open at my current university to blog for the graduate department. Basically, it's writing two pieces of blog per month (on top of get togethers with fellow bloggers) to give tips to other graduate students but also share one's experience with graduate school and academia. I have a lot of ideas of topics, but I'm debating whether or not it's worth it for me to apply. I'm already very busy and I wonder what would be the "plus value" to my professional life of doing something like that when I already have a lot on my plate. What are your thoughts?
