Did anyone get waitlisted this year? I noticed this new line in the selection procedures:
The committee determines the number of meritorious alternate applicants. If additional funds become available, SSHRC will contact the applicant without delay.

I heard rumours that SSHRC is looking to change its process to only allow direct applicant-> second year students apply
I certainly hope not! I'm in a combined MA/PhD program so we don't really start the PhD work until our third year. My research topic will be much more refined by next year and my resume will have a lot more on it.

Just heard back and am on the waiting list! So definitely not all rejections today, at least.
Honestly after not even getting forwarded to the national competition last year, I consider this a win! Who knows, maybe it will turn into an actual win soon.

Thanks! Do you know if we'll hear from SSHRC if we do make it to the national competition or if we don't hear, we assume we made it, and then wait until April/May? Do we only hear now if it's bad news?
As far as I understand it, we find out either way. I'm expecting it this week.

I'm a direct applicant and haven't heard anything from SSHRC since I submitted my application. Have any of you heard any news from them?
I haven't heard anything, but last year my rejection letter was dated February 19. So if we didn't make it to the national competition we should be hearing soon.

In the doc they mentioned that they considered the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. Maybe most people got a bump in their score for that?
