Congrats!!! That's so exciting! I'm in the same position you were last year (I was reading through the 2017-2018 thread): incoming MA student at Concordia and listed as an alternate. I don't think I want to know what I was ranked but I do hope there will be some movement.

 

That's great, good luck!!

I was accepted at Concordia, my first and only choice I am shocked and so happy! Last year I received alternate status

I was told I was 12th when I contacted them, but I'm not sure whether that was in the original list, or after I had already moved a bit because of people declining their offers over the week-end. Hope you get an offer as well!  

Wonderful! Thanks for the info I e-mailed on April 1st and was told I was 21st on the list.. I will probably ask again out of curiosity after the deadline to accept/decline. Let us know if/when your status changes in the portal please!

Thanks for the update! Also, you got an offer for sure! I was waiting for my offer in order to actually get an acceptance from Concordia for my program (the supervisor would only take me if I had an award secured) and I've been accepted not long ago, along with getting a SSHRC (but didn't get the official offer of SSHRC through the portal yet)! And I was way further away on the list than you. So you're probably good  

Hi there! Congrats on your admission and SSHRC award! Just wondering what # you were on the list for funding? I'm also at Concordia so it might give me an idae of the likelihood of receiving funding this year...

Contact the awards and funding office

@rgood Exactly! I contacted my graduate program advisor and she gave me the name of someone who would be able to tell me. I don't want to give out names but yes someone in the awards and funding office should be able to let you know.

Just found out I am ranked #21 on the alternate list at Concordia... does anyone have any knowledge of what this means/the likelihood of receiving the award? This is my first year applying and I think that Concordia generally accepts 40-44 people total for CGS awards

I actually was put on the Alternate list for a school I was refused from (UOttawa)... Not sure how that happened but I guess it just involves different committees. I was also put on the Alternate list for the school I've accepted (Concordia) so I'm hoping I move up! I've e-mailed the person in of my program so I'm hoping she might be able to give me an idea of where I stand.

For reference, this is my first year applying for a CGS and to Master's programs. I was accepted to Concordia in MA Child Studies (which I accepted), McGill Human Development with a $3,500 scholarship (I declined it), and I was not accepted by Ottawa in Clinical Psychology.
