  1. Hi everyone! Congratulations for everyone receiving results! 

     

    I'm wondering if students who have applied before have any information on what is included in the rankings. Do they just give you a ranked number compared to everyone else in your field, or do they provide any additional information (how many other applicants there were, how you scored on research vs grades vs extracurriculars, etc)? 

  2. Anyone else here from Psych? ? Most people in my program apply through SSHRC, but my research is focused on neural mechanisms, so my supervisor suggested I go through NSERC. I'm pretty nervous that my application won't look 'natural sciences' enough due to my background. I've had success with master's funding in the past, but this seems much harder to get. 

  3. Hello all! 

     

    I have a bit of a conundrum. I recently had a Skype interview with a POI and they told me that I would be contacted this past Friday about the interview weekend and whether I was invited (they specifically indicated that I should hear back regardless of whether the news was good or bad). However, it is now midday Monday and I haven't received a single email. Should I be following up and, if so, should I be following up with departmental admissions generally (as opposed to the POI)?

    I personally don’t do it because I don’t want my POI googling themselves and seeing what I’ve said (however innocent) and figuring out it was me. It just seems poor form in general to share details of private conversations with names attached.

    Okay, I see. Thank you so much!

    Congratulations! Would you be willing to share your POIs initials in a pm?

    Sure! Just as a question (I'm a Canadian and first time applicant so I'm sorry if this seems like a dumb question), I don't really understand why people don't share the names of their POIs freely. I just followed what everyone else seemed to be doing and kept it anonymous on the forum. Does anyone know why people tend not to share the names of their POIs?
