halfasleep

Hey all-- I was waitlisted with 11.6 and emailed asking what committee I was evaluated in, and what position I am in on the committee and overall waitlist. The email back was very unhelpful and basically just repeated my questions back to me: "Good afternoon, Thank you for your email. Applications are reviewed by the committee selected by the applicant at the time of submission. Applicants who are advised that their application has been recommended by the committee but not funded are placed on a waiting / recommended list. SSHRC uses these lists, which are committee specific, to offer awards as funds become available. Periodically, supplementary funds may become available as a result of declines of offered awards, interruptions of awards, early termination of previous awards, etc. These factors make it complex to predict when or if a particular candidate is likely to secure funding during this competition cycle. Consequently, while SSHRC offers candidates with their relative score, SSHRC does not offer candidates their committee specific ranking. Should an award become available, SSHRC will contact the next eligible alternate candidate email. We thank you for your understanding." If anyone is able to find out more information, let us know what your approach was! Seems ridiculous that they can't even tell us what committee our application was reviewed by.

No letter for me yet in California! Solidarity in this anxiety ?
