    I am studying clinical psychology so I am assuming we are grouped in the same committee

    I'm studying clinical psychology as well (or I guess I will be starting the clinical program this fall 2023) and I received my results approx. 4 hours ago from committee 767-4A!
    Result: CGS-D Funded (Total funding: $105,000)
    Rank: 24/122

    Fingers crossed for those STILL waiting!!

    This is nice! Do you know when you got notified as an alternate to offered status? Was it three weeks after the first round of offers?

     

    edit: nevermind i saw that it took 21 days!!

    Also I forgot to mention that I received an e-mail from CGS-M notifying me that my application status had changed! That's how I knew to check the portal and when I did I saw that my status was changed from "alternate" to "offered" !

    Good luck to everyone on the alternate list! You are worthy of the award and I hope it gets offered to you!

    Sweet, well I will keep checking if I eventually get the SSHRC because then that way I can put it on my CV! I've been talking to some profs and they said it's usually not really a thing to put "alternate" awards on CV's, only if you've actually been offered the award and then declined it.

    Also, question for everyone: even if I eventually get the SSHRC, how late is too late to inquire about possibly being squeezed into the program? Even if it comes over the summer or so, should I still email and ask?

    Yeah, that was my understanding too - wait until it's offered to you and then put it on your CV! As for your question, I would say it's never too late to shoot your shot. The way I thought about it last year was I really had nothing to lose e-mailing the program that already rejected me to let them know I had secured funding at their school. Worst case scenario they say "good job but we still can't accept you", best case scenario they re-evaluate things and accept you into the program!

    I'm curious how one would write that on their CV.

    Under the section "Scholarships, grants, bursaries, and awards" on my CV I put it like this:

    Canada Graduate Scholarships – Masters, SSHRC (2020) Declined                                  $17,500

    Others may have done it differently but that is just how I wrote it. I hope that helps!

    Literally my exact thoughts. I'm super thrilled because so far it's been nothing but rejections, "no's", and bad news, so I am absolutely over the moon that one school at least waitlisted me for SSHRC and thought my proposal was strong LOL. I'm gonna celebrate this, even though everyone I've told so far has been like "you're waitlisted? congrats I guess?" hahahahaha

    This was me last year! I was rejected across the board and the fact that I was an alternate for SSHRC for 2 of the 3 schools I applied to really gave me hope! haha I was eventually offered SSHRC from the alternate list but it unfortunately didn't change the fact that the school still didn't accept me.

    Yay! Congrats!!

    I was placed as an alternative. Does anyone know someone who had received the award from the alternative list? 

    Last year I received SSHRC from the alternate list! However, I wasn't able to accept it because the school had already rejected me. I did e-mail the school to see if having SSHRC would change anything and unfortunately it didn't. I will say that after getting rejected by all of the schools I applied to last year, getting SSHRC was the glimmer of hope that I was a still worthy applicant! haha

    I believe you can still technically win a CGS-M even if you were rejected from that school. Program admissions and CGS-M awards are decided independently. I've heard of cases where people got a CGS-M for a school they were not admitted in to!

    That's correct. Last year I was rejected from the schools I applied to and was still offered CGS-M SSHRC (even after I was rejected)

    The date showing for my "Last Updated" status is set on the day I submitted the application. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Do you think the date is supposed to change? I received the email last Thursday about how to check the portal on April 1st, and I received an email on December 17th stating that my application was under review at my current institution.

    It isn't necessarily good or bad! It simply means that the school has yet to enter a decision for your CGS-M application. Once a decision is made and entered into your CGS-M research portal you will received an e-mail that your application status has changed and that you will be able to view the decision on April 1st. Also the date will change from the date you submitted your app to the date when the decision was made. The only exception to this is if your application was deemed ineligible, in which case you will be able to see that decision right away. If interested in reading more about it you can check out this link (specifically under the heading "Competition Results Mid-March - April 1st":

    hey guys! so im a bit confused based on my CGS-M comments. i got rejected from all the schools i wrote in my CGS-M application but one of the schools said ineligible (First-class average) and im not sure what that means, can anybody explain :o 

    I believe this means that you did not reach the first-class average as determined by the institution where you applied for CGS-M. The CGS-M website states to be eligible for the award you must:

    "have achieved a first-class average**, as determined by the host institution, in each of the last two completed years of study (full-time equivalent)"

    However, they also add the caveat that "**Institutions may, at their discretion, offer a CGS M award to applicants who have not obtained a first-class average."

    This info can be found on their webpage https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/students-etudiants/pg-cs/cgsm-bescm_eng.asp

    I hope this helps!

    So I got a rejection from Dal...... except it's addressed to the wrong person.......... yet it has my mailing address on it................................ HUH??

    That's very odd! I haven't heard of that ever happening before. I would definitely be contacting the department and letting them know the rejection letter you received was not addressed to you.
