As an addendum, I will say, though, that this silent waitlist process makes a mockery of the following Note on the Decision Notice:
"The scores provided by the selection committee are an indication of the relative standing of your application
within that cohort. Since the selection committees are independent of each other, the rank attached to each
total score and attributed to each application is unique to the selection committee and the competition to
which the application was submitted."
So...yeah. Of course, we should not be surprised at the weirdness that is SSHRC.
