Yeah, there are only 20 for SSHRC at Dal - but you never know, I’ve read posts from a lot of alternates who have moved up !

Hope you get it ! What stream are you in ?

I’m crossing my fingers for you !!

Congratulations , what is for you, found you ! (I also couldn’t sleep last night haha but it feels so worth it today I also got offered at Dalhousie)

Thank you, yes this makes sense. It seems to be a lot of spread sheet ranking. Is the department quota you mentioned for applications forwarded or awards given? Generally there is only one student a year in my program who receives SSHRC.

Where on the website does it say that ? My grades are very much on the threshold... I’ve seen a number of people post that they were notified their application was ineligible (first class average) just like @lisafaramentioned before the April 1 release. I’m curious as to why it results in a not offered for some and ineligible for others.

Yeah absolutely - when I think about everything that brought me to this moment - suddenly the award is secondary to my own willingness to wholeheartedly pursue what i believe in. I’m sure it’s similar for others in this forum - nothing can take that away. Did they let you know the reason why your application was ineligible last year ?

I’ve been doing that as well, it will be hard to sleep tonight...

I only received one status email because I only applied to one school -- but I have been trying to sleuth to see if receiving status updates has any deeper meaning or not, as some people don't seem to receive the emails but still get offered awards.

Wishing you luck ! Only 14 hours to go...

I've literally never wanted a time machine more. But we have already been waiting five months - 48 hours should be easy, right? I feel that pressure too, it is also my one chance of funding, I'm already in program at Dalhousie. My mantra right now is "What is for you, will find you" << haha but its not helping that much tbh.

haha yes I am a current Dal student - I'm already in my program, so I only have one chance! Sending lucky vibes your way , what is your top choice?

Yeah totally - I suppose it is a supercharged time to practice mindfulness and equanimity, with whatever outcome is meant for me. I'm applying to Dalhousie - for SSHRC - how about you?

it is so nervewracking waiting for results - I can't seem to think about anything else. Any suggestions for getting through the next 72 hours?
