SSHRCDreams

Anyone else feeling like they're in limbo? I'm finding it hard to do anything when there's an open question of whether I'll be funded in May or looking for summer work!

My committee to 2A twin! Very close score and both 3/47. Evidently, there is an undeniable causative relationship between being on this thread and being 3rd in Committee 2.

I really feel for all of you. I didn't get a SSHRC Doctoral. Some of it was my project. I was told to apply for CIHR, and they said apply for SSHRC, and SSHRC wasn't sure if it should be CIHR, so I stopped applying. The other thing was some laziness in undergrad led to some B's, which took the wind out of my sails as a competitor. Toward the end of my PhD, I worked really hard to get a lot published, in part with the help of one of my committee members. In the end, I got lucky.

Funded in 2B. 3/47, 15.58/18, the last funded award in the committee was 14.80.
I had 4 single author articles, 2 under-review, 6 conference presentations. Might have helped that I had just completed my PhD.
To add to the anxiety of future applicants, it shows here that all the acceptance materials were added to my file two weeks ago, but they send everyone the account info at the same time. I was stressing out and all this time the acceptance letter was somewhere waiting for me! 

Sorry everyone. SSHRC called. I'm supposed to tell you they misplaced all of our applications. We all would have been funded, but, because they lost them, all of our funding is going to that mean kid who called you stupid in senior kindergarten.

How come if I had a six-month runway on a deadline and I didn't keep it then it's an issue, but when SSHRC does it... 
I feel that! Though, even when I'm not actively thinking about it, I still feel passively distracted by the waiting. It's like I had too much running in the background.
But seriously. It is ridiculous that they say "February 2023" and here we are, on the last day of February.
