Same. I don’t know who to contact to get the ranking letter though!

I’m so sorry to hear that! ? did they send out the results? Or did you get it through ResearchNet? Also can you share your scores if you don’t mind?

The scoring system has equal weights to the 3 aspects they're evaluating (Leadership/Academics/Research). The overall score upon which they order the candidates doesn't put more weight on a certain aspect. However, the applications are evaluated holistically, according to them, so they're evaluated in relation to each other. So my question was would they give more score, in the research score, to research related to COVID-19 over other things?

Do you think it will change how they evaluate the applications? Or favor applications related to COVID-19?

yeah last year it was April 6th. The year before it it was the 1st of April. And even earlier the year before that!

Yeah Looks like it! Can y'all just post here once any of you hear something?

It's that time of the year again, any news on when is the announcement?

When is the announcement?

I wasn't awarded an offer last year, but I knew people who were waitlisted and would've loved to hear this. So here it is.. I got a PGS-D for committee 201, will also be declining the offer for due to Vanier. Good luck all!

Same!! Good luck to everyone in this thread! I will be declining the award if I was granted one when the results come out!! Best of luck you guys

I'd like to tell you guys that if you weren't fortunate in this round, you can always work on your application and reapply if you're still eligible. Last year I didn't apply for Vanier, but applied for PGS-D and didn't get it, and I hadn't even started the PhD at the time. This year, I applied to PGS-D (Didn't hear back yet) and Vanier, and got the Vanier this year. Some notes, I didn't have any publications, just 1 conference presentation, and 1 conference paper, and 1 Paper submitted (later to be rejected). I scored 5.5 in research potential. However, I always maintained a 4.0 GPA and A+ in courses, so academic excellence was 7.5. However, I spent a lot of time working on the leadership statement and reference letters, which gave me a score of 8.5 in this category, giving me a ranking of 33/178 in NSERC, and being awarded Vanier. There is hope for all of you out there! you just have to present yourself to them in the statements the way they want to see you! Best of luck to everyone

I JUST GOT THE EMAIL!!!

Did anyone hear anything today?

Did you see the announcement made today? Here it is. It says " In the coming weeks, funding opportunity competition timelines will be modified to reflect the required changes. In the meantime, it can be expected that competition and peer review activities will not take place before July 2020." does this include the Vanier??

Did anyone hear anything yet?
