I'm actually in the same boat. I have a paper due tomorrow and another on Sunday. I thought I'd let myself walk the news off a little, but maybe reason will prevail here. Maybe a raincheck on that! I wouldn't mind more keener friends at Western. 

I miss the grad club so much.  I'm at UW for my PhD and the Grad House is a very poor substitute.

I'm wondering about OGS results, but at the same time feeling pretty down about the whole thing.

Yes, that's the big one. Congrats! 

I just heard back from Paula and she says the notifications for Western will be sent by tomorrow at 4pm

Hey U of A folks, I just got an email from FGSR that I was successful for CGS-D (*extended sigh of relief*) so hopefully lots of other folks getting good news this morning! Anyone else?

Good luck, fellow Westerners! I’ll let you know if/when I hear anything. Same boat over here.

Same here. I emailed Paula Cameron yesterday but also haven't heard back yet.

I agree.  Since a portal exists for other awards and for applicants channeled through institutions, it is a bit difficult to understand why there isn’t an online system for direct applicants.  
I’m tempted to email and ask what my score was from my committee as a way to try to get the results before my letter arrives, but I’m resisting the urge. 

Apparently the portal can be difficult to access at busy times or something.  My financial aid person has not been able to get on yet.  That could be why some schools don't even bother, especially if they only have one person and not a big department with multiple people who can access it.  I thought this might be good information to have for people waiting and even for people next year trying to figure out why their school isn't getting info from the portal.
