Was awarded a CGS-D with committee 195. BEYOND surprised about that ? I had very mediocre undergrad grades but a few publications, lots of industry experience, and great grad school grades. Congrats to all of the winners, and to all applicants. Getting to the national competition is a prize in unto itself.
And people who have transferred directly from MSc! I'm in a weird position where this is my third year (entered as an MSc) but technically my first as a PhD candidate (passed quals last spring), even though the cumulative degree timeline from entry is hopefully only 4 years...
Also just a general question for those of us lucky to have, or have had, external funding support - does your supervisor remove/claw-back (some or all) of their portion of your funding package? I had that happen last year with OGS so my net gain from that scholarship was only about 1k ?
Gah yeah this wait is painful. Extranet login and results in the same day? Maybe they’re moving to just directly notifying? Wish there was some kind of formal communication with anticipated dates/process!
Also second time applying, but first time being accepted to national competition. Counting the days too :’) Last year, I received an OGS and heard by the first week of April - does anyone know if you still receive an offer from OGS or QEII if you also applied to NSERC (if successful)?
