Welll... I need the money to live. I am in debt and have no idea what I am going to do for funding right now so might have to drop out to find work... so yeah I disagree! 😂 However, everyone is different, and if it is not for you, you could give it to the next person in line, I guess. It's your decision to make. And I also hope things get better too! ❤️

Academic Excellence: 7.79 (Multiple degrees. All grades above 90% on transcripts) Research Potential: 5.09 (10+ conferences, 2 awards, 2 exhibitions, 2 pending papers) Leadership: 4.99 The leadership one, idk what happened since I've been the chair or member on 10+ committees, senate, a volunteer for well over a decade, work experience as team leader, started community initiatives, created conferences, won previous leadership awards, board member on organisations, and overcame a lot of personal stuff too, etc. I don't know what they are looking for. Academic thought i would get a 7 or 7.5, but got almost an 8 so that's great. Research I thought I would get around low 6 got 5. For leadership, thought I'd get a high 6, got 5.

LMFAO!

I didn't get it! Good luck everyone!

RESULTS!

your name having "vanier" in it did me no favours! oh man! 😂

Here we go again!!! Day 2! (Please today! lol!)

Looks like results are late for everyone. Good luck today!

Lots like there might be nothing today. The results are late.

None from here yet. Good luck everyone!

@Cdn_Psych_Today Read through the previous posts on this thread. The date, times, and links are listed many many times.

Yup. If I get it, I'm planning on taking 5 years instead of the 4 years for my degree to use up the full 150,000. No way, I'm graduating "on time" and throwing away 50,000.

Maybe they want to show strong ties to the university community? Or it could be that they don't want to have the same person try twice? Like if they don't get it the first year, then they would have to send them the second year. Might as well send in the second year when the application is going to be stronger. It makes sense, I guess. Also, the countdown begins... 26 more hours.

I'm just taking comfort in knowing it I'm not the only one. And I'm trying not to think about the future or envisioning past the 11th. For the moment, for each day, there is only today and tomorrow.

Nice work! @SG1993 I hope we don't have a 2018 situation. That is too much! 😭 On the other end, we could get results tomorrow at noon. We'll see

I can't do it now, but you could prob cross-reference the gradcafe forum posts over the years with the dates that were posted in these: https://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/srch.do?search=true&org=VANIER&view=browseArchive&browseArc=true

Yup! Mine still says in peer review. I don't think that is going to change until results are actually out. Also yes on the dates That's why I said in one of my earlier posts we might get it early on the 6th (after the scheduled maintenance, which ends tomorrow), or late on the 13th, even though they said the 11th. It is sometimes early or late I've actually passed being nervous, and I'm excited now! I think it's knowing there are others on the forum waiting with me.

Well, it SHOULD always be the right date. 😅 We 8 more days of waiting. 😭

This link would always be the right one. Just keep an eye on this changing. And it's usually between noon and 1pm. : https://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/vwOpprtntyDtls.do?prog=3683&view=browseArchive&browseArc=true&org=VANIER&type=EXACT&resultCount=25&next=1

It says the 11th on the ResearchNet. After the maintenance (tomorrow and day after), we'll see if that date changes. https://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/vwOpprtntyDtls.do?prog=3683&view=browseArchive&browseArc=true&org=VANIER&type=EXACT&resultCount=25&next=1

@Mmsa I just tried to estimate my score in each of the three categories. It helps that people posted their scores in the older threads, and what they had to get those. From that you can estimate your average. If you have around a 7 you may be somewhere in the 50s. 7.5 is around 30th. Check out what others posted in the past forums for their scores and what they had in terms of papers, grades etc. Average it out and see.

I'm nervous too! I tried to estimate my ranking, and managed to convince myself that I have a shot. I'm trying not to worry too much any more. We did our best. I think next week is going to be rough!

Correction: * Ranked between 0.1 to 9.

Some quick info for those eagerly waiting, but mostly for students next year. These estimates are rounded and rough, and also a bit old (like 5 years old). Things may have changed. There are usually around 1100 applicants in total. A little under 50% of applications get nominated (500 nominees). Around 15% of applicants get funded (max 166). The categories you are evaluated on are: Academic Excellence Research Potential Leadership (potential and demonstrated ability) CIHR, SSHRC and NSERC are evaluated separately. You are competing against around 150 nominees (most times more, max 200) in your stream, and they are looking for 55 (sometimes 56) to fund. Your rank received will be out of that, e.g. 32/178. In the pre-scoring, each category of your package is ranked between 1 and 9 by at least two reviewers. For a nomination to be considered eligible for funding, it must have an average score of at least 3.1 in each of the three categories. The average of the three numbers is then calculated. If you get an average score of 6.1 or higher, you are recommended for the next stage, where all the applications are ranked (at least 40 people are placed here). If you score between 3.1 and 6.1, you're in the maybe pile (at least 40 people are placed here). If you score less than 3.1, it doesn't go forward. (at least 40 people are placed here). Only 1-2 people can be given an average score between 8 and 9. They are all then ranked by score. The first 30 people (this is typically around a score of 7.5 or higher for SSHRC, idk for the others), are not discussed by the committee any further. They are automatically selected to be funded. 🎉 Nominees ranked between 31-70 (the next 40 ranked from the yes pile, and the maybe pile) are discussed. The score, rank and whether it gets selected may change in this stage. If there is a tie, they take the person who had the lowest difference in scores from the reviewers. If there is still a tie, they look at the leadership score and pick the higher one. From this, 25 (sometimes 26) are selected for funding. 🎉 Nominees ranked below 70, do not go any further, but you did well! (around 100 people) 🎉 Only 55 (sometimes 56) people are selected. The cut-off is a score around a 7 for SSHRC. This is not fact-based, but anecdotally on past results I've seen. Only a handful of people can get a score between 8 and 9, and the remaining 52 or so are split, about half getting in automatically, with a score between 7.5 and 8, and the rest based on the committee discussion, with a score between 7 and 7.5. (These are my estimates from past scores.) Those ranked from 56 to 70 may be waitlisted., Around 3 people out of the total 166 winners (55+55+55+1) may decline. So you have a good chance if 56th or 57th. If you got nominated, congrats on making it this far! You were in the top 200 of CIHR, SSHRC or NSERC applicants. Hopefully we get good results! 🎉

I was told that we get an email saying go check Research Net, and the results will be on there
