It doesn't matter much in my case since I'm taking the award to the U.S., so either way I will end up with the SSHRC fellowship! @UnlikelyGrad4 my university also said "sshrc will mail the results" and that further communication should be with SSHRC, but the university's School of graduate studies sent me the email anyway, so it's worth a shot!

Hi all, my university just emailed me (I didn't contact them) telling me I was "selected as a recipient of a prestigious SSHRC doctoral scholarship." So for sure universities know! I'm not sure whether it is the CGS or the SSHRC, but either way I am super excited! Best of luck everyone!

Thank you! I was looking at the English site and it made no mention of the date.

I only see "end of April" on their website. Could you please tell me/us where it says April 30th? Did I miss an update?

I wish I had answers to these questions, but alas all I have is flaring anxiety following this tweet.

I'm pretty sure that by "doctoral graduate SSHRC research grant" the poster means one of the doctoral SSHRC scholarships unless SSHRC offers another kind of grants that I'm not aware of? Perhaps the tweet was about a CGS-M, the results of which were announced on April 1st.

I was feeling super chill and not anywhere as stressed out as I was with grad school decisions, but then I saw this tweet. *enter anxiety* I'm hoping my school takes pity on me and lets me know before I get the notification via Canada Post... Hope everyone is doing well! Sending y'all positive vibes!

Hi, I received my UofT acceptance in early/mid-afternoon February and I also know of other people who were offered PhD admission. I believe all offers have been made but not e everyone has made their decision, so perhaps you're on an "unofficial" waiting list? In any case, I would go ahead and contact the DGS or Gaby Sparks, they're wonderful people!

Hiya! From my understanding, PhD students are *guaranteed* university housing at the Columbia rate for 5 years. The application for 2018-2019 housing is not yet available, I think, so I would assume applications will be reviewed after the deadline and not on a first-come, first-served basis. We have until June 1st, so there's still time! If you're unsure, you can always contact the GSAS liaison at UAH.

Hi everyone - Columbia admit here as well. Thanks for the valuable comments and information. I will end up in Columbia Housing in all likelihood and will probably aim for The Arbor if I can (the amenities make up for the distance IMO). Does anyone have any thoughts on The Arbor? Also, could current Columbia students (@anon1234567 !) please explain what would happen if I receive an external fellowship on the first year? I was reading up on it and found the GSAS explanations rather confusing. But it's possible I'm just losing my mind with my MA thesis... So maybe it does make sense. Super excited to meet future NYC/Columbia grads! ??

Regarding my post above: never mind! I think they were given “in name only” and the recipients were given SSHRC-D instead.

Hi everyone! I was looking at last year’s award winners and realized that a few people took CGS-D ($105,000) to US universities. Any thoughts on that? I’ve been accepted to a PhD program in NYC and if there’s a way I can get $35k/year it would be a life-saver. Good luck to everyone!

¡Mil felicitaciones, @fv32 ! Sounds like a very sweet deal!

Congrats on the acceptance! Just so you know, and from what I've heard/seen at McGill, the TA application process is a bit tricky and regimented by seniority/priority lists, so it could potentially be very unlikely to score a TAship in your first year (or at all in the MA). Tal vez depende del departamento, pero no contaría en contratos de TA/RA para sobrevivir, sobre todo que universidades en Quebec pagan poco comparado a otras universidades canadienses.

Could the Columbia admit manifest her- or himself? I had my follow-up interview on Friday and seeing your post on the board gave me a mini-heart attack! Would you be so kind as to appease my anxiety?
