Hello everyone,
I am wishing all of you the best luck.
This is my first time applying and I am newly in research without publications. Although I think my research proposal is good, but based on my impression, I am not going to score very high for the SSHRC system. I applied SSHRC doctoral scholarships and didn’t even pass the faculty level of evaluations. Based on my impression, the chances of winning this scholarship are higher for those who had succeeded in SSHRC doctoral level scholarships with many publications.
I know everyone is patiently waiting for the results these days, and I have to be honest that my application this time will determine whether I stay in Canada or go back to my home country.
Saying I have no expectations is just untrue, but based on my years of experiences living and studying in Canada, I am really not confident (disappointed to be honest). I am not having much luck here in my studies and I hope people in my field have better learning experiences.
We all know the hot research topics are having the highest chances. And this is very much the last chance that I have here in Canada. Last year, I was determined to apply this scholarship many times, but I am not that ambitious now.
Wishing you all the best and keep going for the research you love and care.
Sleep well too.
