Hi everyone, I have been following this forum religiously all day today. Just wanted to share my results if it's helpful to anyone. First-year PhD student who was awarded CGS-D with a score of 18.7 in committee 2. I'm feeling incredibly lucky as it seems that it really can come down to whoever is on the committee + people saying that they submitted similar research proposals in different years and got accepted the second time but not the first. Best of luck to everyone! You are all brilliant and all of our research is important no matter what any institution says! ❤️
