sounds like the beginning of a PHD thesis project....?!

wOW! Congrats!!

Go for it. I applied last year and didn't get it but I think that preparing that document certainly made my SSHRC application road worthy!!

Yes...got the big sshrc!!!! amazing. email came from School of graduate studies.

good definitely good... wink wink nudge nudge....

sorry no. my funding package is 18k. my tuition is 7k.

How did you get the tuition grant. As far as I understand I have to pay my tuition from my package which is 18k for the three terms each year.

(do you think I just jinxed it? )

Kingston ----sunny, a bit of wind and slight chill in the air. Also the lilacs are half in bloom!

Thank you for saying something. I feel so much better. Breathing and I even started working!! Canuckonomist and bad breath this looks like the beginning of a beautiful relationship oh ya and north star too...

gooooood somebody say something. I am sitting here with my laptop and bowl of Honey bunches of oats hitting the refresh button... when what I should be doing is redrafting chapter three of my thesis. And I keep thinking well one more look and then back to work. Geesh.....

Where are you based?

Thanks for calling and for posting this. Kind of a relief to here they are going in the mail soon. Although now that I am all worked up a rejection will sure hurt.

omg!!

I was really counting on the department finding out first So... was keeping an eye on my email. Last year I was told by my department more than a week before I got my letter. Maybe longer. It was a significant gap anyway.

Put them in the mail put them in the mail put them in the mail ......

So I see there are 19 of us scanning the pages looking to read that someone got a call. I really though that today would be the day. Well back to thesis writing.

How did you find out you were first on the reversion list and then did you get OGS after?

Now thats not funny!! May 12th I don't have that much time to procrastinate on my writing. Ack. Need to stop checking this site,,,but I can't seem to do it. Its kind of a conspiritorial feeling to know others are out there lurking and doing the same...

well back to writing. Look forward:P to hearing news though...

remember the application deadline was later too! That might explain the changes.

congratulation!

Let me know if anyone gets a call... err I mean email...

Oh ya and I think it is hilarious that they put the number of a retired guy in the notices as a contact for finding out one's rank!! Tricky tricky.

I don't think you should feel bad. Its mostly a math equation. My status says that my application was reviewed by a panel of 3 independent people and then it sounds like they gave the applications a ranking and then those rankings were crunched into winners according to the order in which they came out based on how many yeses they got . Then yeses are handed out until the money runs out. Oh and they said there are different categories so I need someone in my category to not accept in order to move up the line. So if this is true --which I don't really know for sure as I am reading in between the lines --then it just depends on who is on the panel and what their thinking is on what is important for the future and who they think might be able to do the work that they are proposing. And different people are going to think very different things. good luck
