  1. I'm really sorry to hear that. The teenage years are formative and these kinds of ideas are difficult to discard. Whenever I have been single, which is a few times, I always knew when I was not ready to date based on the kinds of people I would attract. When I was not ready to settle down, I would attract flakey artist types who did not want a commitment. Not until I was ready for a committed relationship, and secure as a single person, did I attract the right kind of person for me at that time. However, lots of folks aren't as intuitive as you and end up in really unhappy relationships. You have good and healthy standards of not wanting to be with something who resents your success This is a very mature and responsible point of view imho!
  2. Yay! I got an offer for CGS-M No details on comments from the reviewers though. Thanks for the info! Maybe one day I'll be applying for PGS
  3. Anyone with such a fragile ego isn't worth the time of investing in a relationship. My bf keeps me from spinning out - he's more relaxed than me and often calms me down! Being an overachiever is sometimes counterproductive; you're harder on yourself which can keep you from actually enjoying your successes. I've experienced lots of sexism, both overt and covert, and have usually dated outside my field (computer science), although my current bf is a computer scientist too! I think the best bet is to surround yourself with like-minded people and eventually you will click with someone Use the "intimidation" as a very convenient filter. Also, I find it disheartening that people have been telling you this since you were 13-14 years old. My mother repeatedly told me to be independent, to be able to support myself so I would never be in a vulnerable position. This is the best advice I've ever received.
  4. I had no idea so many people got offers from the waiting list. I'm an alternate, but haven't received anything by mail. I've applied to CGS-M. Did people have any success with directly emailing NSERC?
  5. I guess no one else is waiting Just got the notification that I'm an alternate. Fingers crossed to everyone!
  6. Has anyone heard from UBC CGS-M? Heard of some SSHRC CGS from UBC but nothing else. Further to that, is it good news/bad news or not worth reading into?
