Just got a PGS-D3 in committee 197. MittensProject what was your ranking for the CGS I was ranked 13.
Congrats! The CSG-D ranking cut-off point seems to be relatively lower for EE compared to other committees!
Cheers!

Is there an email notification before the results are released? or it just appears in the portal?

I got an auto-refresh extension for chrome. ?
hahaa, this can effectively lead to DDoS attack on their server, if many of us here start using auto-refresh plugin with a short time-interval.
Also, be aware that if there are too many requests from an IP, their server could potentially ban that IP.

Having an early surname is almost universally better.
Hahaa. Tho not fun when you are the first on the list for in-class oral exams. sometimes they'd do descending alphabetical order and I'd be the first up. not fun at all!
Anyways, I'm still waiting for the user/pass email. Letter 'V' here!

Those who received the "Important - NSERC Extranet for Applicants", how long did it take before you received the system-generated username/password emails?
I got the Extranet email at 9:58 am PST but haven't received the system-generated emails for username/password email to create an account!
My last name starts with V.
Best of luck to all!

I'd like to send a shout-out to all of those whose application didn't make it through NSERC today.
It's OK. It doesn't mean your work is worth any less than others who were announced as "winners". It just means that NSERC's criteria did not match your strengths. Maybe you didn't publish enough papers. Maybe you didn't want to be associated with a watered-down paper that doesn't add any extra value to the world. They still need a clear basis (such as the number of publications) to make their decision but that doesn't mean their criteria determines the value of your work.
Keep up the good work! Your work is valuable irrespective of what the committee decides!
