Got my results early this afternoon - offered CGS-D! I'm beyond grateful, literally sobbing right now. My application number starts with 574 and I was in Geosciences (168). Bit about me: A+ average in both PhD and MSc, ~3.7GPA in undergrad. Applied in my second year (didn't have time to apply first year). I've never received NSERC before but did get QEII this year I've got about 8 combined years of experience as a TA, tutor, research assistant, or field researcher. Three published journal articles, one first author and two second author Two first author articles submitted to peer-reviewed journals Two conference presentations at international conferences (where I won awards) and two at domestic conferences I had a strong equity statement in my proposal I spoke about my political activism/union activism and how that shaped my ability to be a leader - I wasn't sure if talking politics would hurt my application but I guess it didn't! All my love to anyone else who applied this year and I hope the info I've provided is helpful!

Congrats! Waiting on 168 myself with similar credentials (app number 574xxx) so hopefully your win bodes well for me!
