WOW you guys, you have no idea how much yours and the previous reply have helped me make sense of everything!! I too have 3 publications, 5 conferences, BUT everything except for 1 publication and 2 conferences is in a different area! I have 1 year of TA in my past field, 1 year of RA in the current field, 6 years of RA in the previous field (normal in Brazil where I did everything except the phd). Plus lots of teaching kids and volunteering. I changed from International Relations to (secondary, history) Education. Plus, thanks so much about telling me that there is a 'waitlist' kind of thing. My university admin didn't know... She said my result came to them as "recommended but not offered" and she said "maybe that means waitlist?" haha. Thanks so much everyone!!!

Congratulations to everyone who got it! I didn't, for 0.15 points... 75 scholarships offered, I ranked 84. I don't know if I got lucky or not (or indifferent) but one of my committee members was a prof who was going to be my supervisor at UOttawa. We exchanged emails and he accepted me, but then OISE results came and I ended up declining my offer. And he was the only one on my committee that was in my broad area. Do y 'all know if there's such a thing as people not accepting their offers and then others, next in line, getting it? It was my first time applying. I'm second year, so I'm pretty sad especially because I don't know how I am going to continue affording life in Toronto with OISE's base funding... 1,600 per month for RAship/GAship barely pays for a studio basement 1 hour away from campus... Plus, would you guys say the most important thing is publications? Those of you who got it, could you tell us how many publications you had?

Hi all, just sharing the anxiety. I've seen that last year the results only came late April/early May, hoping this doesn't happen again! First time applying here! Good luck everyone!
