Not sure if this is true now, but I was waitlisted last year and it was thought that the waitlist isn't committee-dependent, but based on scores alone. Good luck!

My university just emailed to say I got the CGS-D Bombardier. I got waitlisted last year and am completely shocked/thrilled and will probably spend the next few hours sobbing with relief. My university is cutting some funding programs so was anticipating some very lean years otherwise or possibly having to drop out for a while.

I really, really, really appreciate you saying this. Thank you.

Oh wow, TBay, congrats on your award!! Holy cow that's good news. I was rooting for you! I'm coming back to university after many years away and so while I have a couple of books published etc. my grades (from the UK) weren't stellar way back when. I was pretty upset but I'm over it now. It's awkward coming back to school. I don't know about waitlist, some with higher scores were waitlisted last year and didn't get it. I'll email them though! 

My letter told me what committee and I think when you apply you choose the committee if you’re a direct applicant.

My partner got SSHRC funding with 12.8, and I was waitlisted at 12.55 this funding year. FYI anyone wondering about their rankings. And he will be buying me a beer.

Literally EXACTLY what I'm doing. 

Lotus Tarot???  LOL.  I think we must be psychic twins!!!!  Good luck.  REALLY!  I hope you get a different answer this time.

I've definitely been playing around on Lotus tarot! LOL. 

OMG, you do sound amazing! I really feel as though the whole thing depends on the two people reading your applications, and that's a crapshoot. I know they have a guidebook about biases but it seems inevitable that those in certain fields would privilege others or squash people in fields they despise etc. But congrats on being such a force, especially contra the good old boys. 

LOL yeah so I did SUPER badly and didn’t get it at all. But honestly I feel better after reading this forum. You guys are actually all super amazing and very accomplished and while I was a good applicant for med school... it obviously doesn’t stack up to you people. Congrats everyone! 

About last year, to make things clear: 
- We were supposed to know on March 30 and then the Vanier website said "early April". The results came out on April 5 around lunchtime. 
- We got an email saying the portal had been updated. You won't know if you won in that email. HOWEVER, if on ResearchNet you have a second line to click that says something like "View offer", then I believe it means you got it (or else there is no offer; only a "results" line to click...something like that). 
- Your institution will know at the same time as you--so don't worry if you see the dean or your advisor in the hallway lol 
- For the regular SSHRC award, your institution knows BEFORE you, because they email them at the same time as they send the letters by mail. Email your award coordinator and they'll let you know if you got it
- Regarding the tweet about a scholarship...it was a SSHRC MASTER'S CGS (results are out April 1 at midnight). The prof said it was a "doctoral" award but they got it wrong. 
let me know if you have more questions and GOOD LUCK!!

Yes! ResearchNet said April 4th!

Same! I am going to have a panic attack when I’ll get the email lol

Thanks, this is really helpful information. I must say it's kind of creepy that they make you click into the portal like that. I don't know how I'll muster up the courage to log in. I'd much rather just get an email to scan through and look for the word 'regret'. And congrats on your achievement!

I saw my supervisor yesterday and he was very gentle. It's a trying time for us all. I know it's a prestigious scholarship and very competitive and a great honour, but I'm so flat out broke that it might just mean the difference between finishing my studies or having to go work at Walmart at this point. If they'd even hire me with my skill-set, ha! Good luck and let's hope they put us out of our suffering sooner rather than later.
