    So did my supervisor actually make a mistake and she doesn't know? *sad face* The struggle is real

    I think it depends what your supervisor said? Lots of supervisors just go with the assumption we won't get SSHRC because it's such a crapshoot. If your supervisor was like "you didn't get SSHRC this year" that's very different than "well when you apply for SSHRC next year"

    So far I've been able to distill the following from everyone's comments and observations:

    (1) We will be issued the results on a separate web platform than the one we submitted our application through;

    (2) We do not yet have access to that platform, but we will be given access a few days before we receive the results;

    (3) Some of us may receive access and/or results as early as April 26 or 27, but likely not. The most likely scenario is that we will receive these results on the 29th or 30th, and potentially as late as the 4th or 5th of May; and

    (4) There does not appear to be any rational basis for when certain people receive access or results in relation to others.

    So, with that, I'd say, distract the mind with other things and tune back into SSHRC land late next week to see what might have changed. Best of luck to all.

    This seems too rational. /continues checking every 3 minutes/

    So I was reading some other SSHRC related threads and apparently some people have started to hear back?? Does anyone know if this is accurate? I remember people receiving feedback at different times last year, so I really have no idea when I'm going to hear back.

    What do you mean "hear back"? like an update on their application? or are you referring to the "heart attack" emails we've got and will be getting on instructions about how to check for the results.

    if some people are hearing already and the rest of us have to wait, that seems super unfair... but I highly doubt this is happening!?

    SSHRC storytellers was released this week, and SSHRC post-doc was recently released, I think. PhD SSHRC has not been released, yet.

    Bahaha yeah I'm already sitting here checking my email and this thread multiple times a day. Next week I'm not going to be able to get anything done.

    I've also been trying to piece together what the process looks like for uploading results on the administrative side at SSHRC. There doesn't seem to be any discernible logic to how/when applicants are notified (from what I can tell, it doesn't appear to be based on last name, applicant status, location, or whether an award was granted).

    My current grand theory is that you are assigned an application number when you submit your application and then all applications are assigned in batches to different administrators who are responsible for uploading results and sending the emails. So when you get your results depends on when some poor admin--who probably just wants to get through the workday like the rest of us--gets to it amidst their other work. I used to work in an administrative role at a college where we had to notify people of results and it pretty much worked like this.

    Anyone else have any grand theories?

    Last year it definitely seemed to go by application number - everyone in my department that had been forwarded got our first emails at the same time. That said, there were some people in the thread last year that found out before other people in their school so ugh I don't know.

    Question: On WebApps, my SSHRC app has disappeared. In the infamous heart attack email, it says results will be available on extranet and we'll have a separate email with instructions on how to activate the extranet account. I didn't get this email yet. Is that the same for you guys too and do we have to wait till the result notification to activate/access extranet?

    Yes - you'll get the email for the account probably closer to when they are going to release results. I got my email to signup/log in on a Friday (results had already been coming out since the Tues. I think) and then I got my results on the Monday after.

    Yeah I remember that. It was a disaster. I hope they fix it, this year. It was so bad that this page last year went to page 55 lol

    It was TERRIBLE! So stressful. I hope they don't do the weekend between again, that was just cruel.

    FYI: All past years I've applied, the admin in my department have found out before SSHRC contacted me with the results. It's likely they may know now, but they're not "allowed" to tell us. I followed this forum closely and when people started finding out at UBC, I contacted my admin and they told me the results. 

    Might be useful for those who are waiting post-April!

    I know my school doesn't know yet - my supervisor and I were talking about it today because she keeps checking haha.  But yes, it's so frustrating that they find out but can't tell us! But then some places tell and some won't LOL.

    I so relate to your last sentence. It is my first time applying and I already feel like a total fraud in my studies, so it is going to be hard not to overanalyze that. However, judging by all the posts here, it really looks like we should not read a denial as an overall judgement of the quality of our research. And I still don't have my results ?

    I hope you find out soon!!!  It really is difficult not to try to rationalize it or figure it out or let it dishearten you! It was my first year applying for the doctoral level one, too. We’ll get ‘em year!! (Fingers crossed). Or maybe you’ll get it this year still!!!! (Fingers crossed even more).

    For people who have been hearing back about rejections/waitlists... did you see that through the portal? or did your institution message you?

    Just by refreshing the portal for me.

    Just got the message...failed to get it. Here is what is interesting. Last year I submitted the exact same application and was wait listed with a score of 12.2. This is why I decided to submit the exact same one since it seemed I was so close. However, this year I got a 9.6... 

    actually, arguably this year I had a better application since I had won OGS... but didn't seem to matter. 

    I’m sorry!! The scores seem so stupid. What is the point of telling us if we don’t know what to do with the info?!! At least if we could see where we got/lost marks we’d know what to adjust or keep. Tho then the next year a diff committee member might hate the revised one anyway and would’ve loved  the original so ??‍♀️

    No SSHRC for me. Seems like all rejections today. Really bummed and frustrated at their process. My score was 12.40/20 

    So sorry. :(

    Just heard back and am on the waiting list! So definitely not all rejections today, at least.

    Honestly after not even getting forwarded to the national competition last year, I consider this a win! Who knows, maybe it will turn into an actual win soon.

    Congratulations!!!!

    Will let you know but not feeling too hopeful. Friday was a lot of Bombardier announcements. Cruel and unusual punishment if they did that on purpose. I'd have some feedback for them on the mental stress for students waiting.

    Heck yes. They could’ve saved the good news for today and put the rest of us out of our misery for the weekend!!

    I'm 298700 and I haven't heard back yet @TurnLeft what committee are you on?

    Committee 1! 

    Just now, ButterTurtle said:

    Hah thanks! Well last year when I applied Peggy emailed all successful applicants only. Which felt horrible. But I haven’t heard of anyone getting any emails this year, successful or not. 

     Oh man - she didn’t email my friend who got sshrc on Friday! So maybe she’s not this year since it’s already online and we don’t have to “wait” like previous years (hah.).

    Is anyone here from usask? Still don’t have my results. Haven’t heard from the awards dept. 

    But to be serious... Apparently Usasks awards dept. Doesn’t email results to us. My chair said he’d email to ask tonight if we hadn’t heard so maybe reach out that way???
