So after about 7 hours of refreshing every browser I have, getting close then the page crashing multiple times (and achieving a variety of error codes in the process), I found out that I was successful. Kind of shocked but I was ranked 16/123 in committee 752-4B. Hope everyone gets their results soon! I need a nap.

I emailed them about the website but no reply. Still can't get my results. So frustrating!

I can't even load the website anymore. I'm temporarily giving up. The torture continues but checking a page that doesn't load it possibly even worse right now.

I've been trying to get it to load for over an hour. I got as close as seeing a folder to download but it just kept loading and eventually timed out. I think I need to take a break and come back later. I can't even get the site to load now. Sigh...

No kidding. I'm kind of dreading the results but need to know eventually I guess. You did amazing which likely isn't much consolation but seeing the scores shows you that you did well at least.

I don't think I'd be able to. Glad it's only 7:45 pm here. I haven't heard anything yet. Sorry to those who didn't receive one. 😞

Just tell them you're calling on behalf of a few dozen stressed out doctoral students and, if they respond, we'll all stop crashing their phone system. Thanks for trying!

Not in the same boat but wanted to say your research sounds very interesting and meaningful. Hopefully we find out soon and you can make that decision. They must have to take these other deadlines into consideration.

I considered this as well. I fully support workers if they are on strike and would be okay with a delay. I have mentally prepared myself for this possibility but the SSHRC Twitter account is still active if that means anything. If we don't hear anything by this Friday, that could be the issue but, otherwise, it should be soon! It seems like the wait gets harder the closer we get.

This wait is so long and excruciating. Would be nice to know what day results actually come out then maybe I could relax about it a little. Maybe.

Wishing everyone the very best as we continue to wait. One of my professors (and references) asked me if I knew yet because Vanier students were informed last week. I was like nope... guessing another 10 days or so. I'm prepared no matter what the result is but am eager to know so I can deal either way. I put in the best effort that I could so I feel good about that.

haha, me too! Think we've still got a couple weeks to go so living vicariously through others. Sorry for those you didn't receive the Vanier but it really is amazing to even make it this far.

Wishing everyone good luck. Such a long wait! At this point, I really just want to know the result so I can make some life plans. My friend got a doctoral SSHRC result around April 26th last year so likely still a bit to go but at least it's almost April!

I'll come and join you here. Not a lot to say yet as it's several months out but it would be nice to have people to connect with during the long wait. I'm a third year doctoral student in Education in Saskatchewan. My first year applying was last year and I didn't make it out of my institution at that time which was disappointing but I am excited to have a chance this year. I'm hoping to get a SSHRC so I can extend my studies a bit and still receive funding. Great job getting through on your first try! Also, thanks for starting this thread nice and early. ?
