Hey U of A folks, I just got an email from FGSR that I was successful for CGS-D (*extended sigh of relief*) so hopefully lots of other folks getting good news this morning! Anyone else?
Interesting - the individual interview is pretty much what you'd expect, about 30 minutes long with some questions about methodology, research impact, goals for the program, etc. The group interview was scholar candidates mixed with mentor candidates, collaboratively developing an activity in a kind of fishbowl setting while people from the foundation watched. A little awkward to say the least, very performative!!
Sorry to hear about those who didn't make it this year I got lucky and made it to the interviews, headed to Montreal next week - anyone know someone/have themselves gone through the interview process? There's an individual and a group interview, I'm very unsure what to expect!
