I’d also be curious to know how it works. Does it go by committee or by subcommittee? For example, would they combine all applications in a certain overall committee (e.g., committee 4) for a waitlist or would the waitlist be based only on your position in your subcommittee?

Yeah, it's my first year applying. I'm finishing up my master's degree and my score was 8.71 and the last funded in my committee was 8.85. 88/160 and they funded 75.

How do you know if you're waitlisted? I'm 13 spots away from the last funded application. I'm really conflicted about what to do. I have until this Friday to give my decision for continuing to the a PhD program. If there's a good chance of getting off a waitlist maybe I'd accept my PhD offer, but if not I'm strongly considering ending at the masters level.

I followed your directions, and I was able to get into something, but then what? I clicked the link that says, "SSHRC Extranet for Applicants," and it says Access Denied. What do we click once we've reset the password?

Well it's been almost an hour since I got the email, and there were no follow-up emails with any corrections, so I'm assuming we won't find out anything until tomorrow.

Why would they send out emails when they're closed for the day? That makes no sense.

I got the email as well, but both links bring me to the exact same page. There is nowhere to register on that page. What the heck!

Nvm - just got the email now about the results coming next week.

My classmate (same program and institution) just got the email about this ~10 min ago, but my inbox is empty. It’s odd they’d send them at different times. Anyone else still waiting for the email?

Okay, good to know. Thanks! Sorry . . . first time applying, so I have lots of questions. Do you get to see your scores when you see your result?

Just to clarify, what exactly is the SSHRC extranet? Is it the portal we used to apply for the fellowship/CGS-D? The portal we used to apply for the CGS-M? Something else?

It's my first time applying as well. I've read that for some individuals May is the earliest start date, so I'm not sure how that would work if results weren't released until the end of April/early May.

Just curious . . . anyone know if SSHRC, CIHR, and NSERC release all of the results on the same day or do they get released on different days depending on which funding agency you applied to?

I’m not sure I’m understanding the problem. The cgs-m application required the CCV and the portal for the cgs-d awards is completely different than the one for cgs-m. It sounds like you think you didn’t update the doctoral portal CV section with all your recent info? I probably wouldn’t stress too much if that’s the case. I’ve read that some applications get viewed for 5-8 mins, and given the scoring criteria, I can’t see that making or breaking an application. Provided that you had to hit the “Verify” button, I’m not sure they could do anything for you at this point. If your application got forwarded then your raters obviously didn’t see an issue and felt you had a strong application. Also, I know that when I finished my application all files were merged into one pdf. I saved that pdf, and so I can see exactly what I submitted. If you saved that pdf document then you should be able to see exactly what you submitted, and you can check what is on the CV section.

Mine disappeared in February, or at least that’s when I noticed it. The CV section is still visible to me. It’s my first time applying, as I’m finishing my masters, but from what I’ve read it’s normal.
