Good news in Ottawa too - 18.5/30, which qualified me for an award in the "A category". Seemed like a low score to me, although I'll be in my first year of a PhD in September, so have no familiarity with the scoring process. Won a A Joseph-Armand Bombardier CGS Doctoral - three years of funding.

-won OGS and SSHRC at MA level
-two publications
-zero conference presentations(!)
-two RA-ships
-several internal scholarships during undergrad and at MA-level
-an undergraduate award for a paper

As Felan said, this is a bit of a SSHRC crap-shoot, so you just never know. Good luck to all...!

Yes, I don't think there's a lot of #1 going on at this stage of the game! Sigh...
