Hi everyone, I emailed my university to ask whether I was on any form of waitlist as I was so close to the cutoff. They explained: there are three possible options for each student. Recommended, Recommended but not funded, and not offered. According to the person I was talking with, I was recommended but not funded. Even they explained they dont 100% know if this is a waitlist. I will contact SSHRC and ask what does it all mean. If there is no waitlist, what then happens to the funds? It is also confusing cause on my own application on the portal it says « not offered » so what does « recommended but not funded » mean? Will update for anyone that is in the same boat as me.

I've been doing a lot of research and have found nothing regarding their removal of waitlists. That would be unfortunate that the money simply goes unclaimed unlike prior years. Many students get their financing from being on waitlists (has happened to me in the past).

That is beyond frustrating as I was in the 752 - 3B committee. I scored 9.48, the cut-off was 9.88. Maybe if I would have been put in another comittee, I could have been selected. Just curious as well since waitlisted isn't a thing anymore, I am assuming that if someone in the committee declines the award then it goes forward to the other person next in line?

Has anybody not received an email with the links? People seems to be getting their emails except for me.

So if I understand correctly, we will receive an email saying if we did not receive it? A colleague got an email saying he got waitlisted but I have not received anything yet. ?
