Made an account simply to say - thanks to this forum for the needed sanity check, during what has been an insanely stupid process.
I got the Doctoral Fellowship, received an email about an hour ago. This is great and all, but this whole process has been dehumanizing. FRQSC manage to release all their results at a set time and set date. All at once. That SSHRC can't do this blows my mind. Instead they drip fed the results out, and their crappy 'Extranet' is a sloppy piece of junk.
The whole process stinks. Whether you were lucky or unlucky today, don't forget that.
Give SSHRC feedback (I will be doing so). Tell them (constructively!) what you think of their way of doing things. Tell them how much needless anxiety they caused. How much stress and wasted time. They need to do better.
