https://www.northernontariobusiness.com/industry-news/training-education/sudburys-laurentian-university-axes-58-undergrad-11-grad-programs-3625913 One down

I think its roughly around 40%

appendix A says its not.

They said your proposal is really important. Ive got my proposal reviewed for 8 times before submission. I think how you write or present your proposal matters.

according to the guideline, publications are counted for research ability. I myself got 2 peer-reviewed publications and 1 submitted paper at the time of my application. I have got 38/50 for my research ability and 15/20 for leadership. these two portions really help as I ve got PGS-D.

My Academic excellence score is 10.5/30. I believe all the other people are getting all A+ and a long lost of scholarship. My scholarship profile is not prolific.

physical mail.

I take 40% as a reference. Since the acceptance rate is ~40%.

Received the ranking today. My position is very marginal and I feel extremely lucky to get the award.

who can control you?

other than this, the school u are affiliated with also matters. apparently u of t got the highest chance.

I think you just need to first enroll in the PhD program with a university. I worked for a while before returning to school.

It is on the stats. http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NSERC-CRSNG/FundingDecisions-DecisionsFinancement/ScholarshipsAndFellowships-ConcoursDeBourses/index_eng.asp Apparently U of T has the highest chances to get the award.

Yes, they only allocate 10% of the awards to direct application

Dont see the relevance. Ive got rejected for the CGSM but I now I accepted for the PGS-D. But my application advisor told me that it is better to get sth (like other scholarship and awards) when you apply for PGS-D.

But I had a lot of talks that I gave to the general public, media interviews (both print, tv and online) and a lot of awards/scholarships/distinctions (20+) that I have won over the years (I am involved in the community since the age of 12 and have been till this day). This is way better than publication!!!

well, you need to keep them in business

different letter?

my school u of t. they sent out this email just now.

Dear NSERC Doctoral Scholarships applicant, The results of the 2019‐20 NSERC Doctoral Scholarships (PGSD and CGSD) have been released to universities. NSERC is notifying candidates of their results via email and regular mail. If you do not receive your result from NSERC by the end of next week, please contact NSERC to confirm your current contact information.

UofT, apparently the office knows nothing. I need to show them my NOD to get the first payment.
