Good luck! It's not a bad thing to be waitlisted - you know you just need to strengthen your application a little bit to get the award next time.

It depends on your actual ranking. You can send NSERC an email and they will tell you your ranking among your committee. If you're 1 or 2 places from the line, you have a pretty good chance of getting it.

I was waitlisted last year and the wording was different. It was saying something like "although your application is considered meritorious, we regret to ..."

SF 194 just received email. Second time applying, got CGSD! Received an email from UofT (last year didn't) this morning saying the following: "The results of the 2023-24 NSERC Doctoral Scholarships (PGSD and CGSD) will soon be released to all applicants via a secure site. Access details will be sent to applicants via separate emails from NSERC. If you do not receive an email from NSERC this week, please contact NSERC to confirm your current email address on file." Based on other DPs I guess it's safe to say if you also received this from UofT SGS you can expect a positive outcome in the Extranet.

Haven't heard anything yet. Although from posts here I noticed in the past years people get off the waitlist as late as Jan next year

Ah ok looks like I'm overthinking it. I'm in 194

hi, I just noticed something weird in the nserc extranet system. They updated my document yesterday at about 3pm, adding a prefix "PGS D" to the result letter name... although the content of the letter remains unfortunate. I might be overthinking but could this mean anything? I'm pretty sure on 26th the document's name was just myname_Notification of results_appnumber_year. I wonder what do you see in the system? Is there a similar update?

That's somewhat comforting! Honestly I didn't think it would be so competitive. Anyways hope you get bumped up! Good luck!

Sorry to hear that. Did your letter explicitly say you are 'waitlisted'? My is saying something like "application was meritous but could not fund due to budgetary constraints.". Wondering if this is a flat rejection or could it be a waitlist
