Friendly NBHD Grad Student

Didn't end up getting NSERC so I'm really hoping I get this (and soon).

This is me atm

I agree. 50% of the application is research ability AND potential. I put a lot of time into my application to try and show the potential since I didn't have any first author papers at the time.

Yes but 2nd year masters and 3rd and 4th year PhD students aren't eligible to apply. After courses and TAing, that doesn't leave a lot of time for people to get ahead in reasearch IMO.

I don't think it's common for this to happen though.

35-40% of us will which are pretty good odds...

Yes, from my understanding it's up to your supervisor. Mine will let me keep all of my stipend if I get NSERC so I'm really hoping for it.

The uOttawa OGS portal hasn't been working this last week so I can't even check if the results are out yet. Anyone else having this issue?
