I've never heard of anyone mastering out so to speak before. If it happens, it must be pretty rare. The reverse is incredibly more common; direct entry to PhD from BSc, or switching to PhD after a period of time in an MSc. I would check that out with your institution, and with NSERC,
Just wanted to chime in that I missed my email somehow and received it early yesterday afternoon. Was a direct NSERC applicant in ecology discipline, got 3-year CGS-D. :D:D:D:D
I wonder if there is a waitlist for direct applications. I was on the waitlist as a university applicant for 3 years in a row. Was like academic purgatory. Blah. Sorry to hear about the rejection letter
Has anyone received a rejection letter yet?? Seems like only people posting successful applications so far. Anyone get results from ecology-related fields?
