Hey all, did you all apply for the OGS in addition to the SSHRC? Those who applied, I hope you all got it!

Hey @qeta @Quicksilver25@Ana Lacerda! Thanks for sharing everyone! Really insightful. @Quicksilver25, that is a lot of presentations. What kind of conferences are they? Are they international, provincial, and/or institutional level conferences? @qetaI think the adjudicators' rationale makes sense. I guess the strategy for those who are working on different topics/related topics which do not build on the MA topics might be to frame it as a strength, as @Quicksilver25said.

@qeta Hey, you are totally right. Solidarity with all waitlisters out there ? Trying to understand how likely it is to get the scholarhsip offered in relation to the ranking at this point seems pointless at least to me. Im also interested in what you all think has made your applications strong. I've compared my scores with another colleague of mine who I had helped enhance their application who in fact was awarded sshrc this time by getting a slightly higher score than me overall. Our backgrounds were similar: 3 publications, 3 conference presentations. I have had a grad level teaching experience but he didn't. The biggest difference lied in research potential. His research topic seemed to have been liked quite a bit more than mine. Also while my PhD focuses on a completely new topic his builds on his master's. I think that the reviewers like that kind of narrative in the proposal. Thoughts anyone?

I am 15 spots away form the the bottom line y'all. Congrats to everyone who got it this time! Who really declines sshrc unless they received greater scholarships? lol

@VanessaBThat's rough. I am also on the same boat for a different subcommittee so I really understand how frustrating this result is. I got an email from my university that I've been waitlisted.

Hi all, how's your waiting? I am a first-time applicant through an institution with a quota. Anyone knows a rough timeline until we get a result? Are we expecting any updates in Feb?
