Rejection letter here too! Good luck to everyone who advanced.

In past years, there have been transcript requests a few days after a first wave of requests. So it isn't over (just yet)... SSRC's history tells us next week is still a possibility.

Congrats guys! I hope the transcript requests do indeed trickle out over a few days. Looks like today's requests were right at the end of the day (~5pm EST), maybe we'll see more movement tomorrow.

Very true! I looked at threads from previous years (GradCafe and the Academic Jobs wiki) -- transcript requests for those who advanced to the short list/final round should be next week, with rejection letters via snail mail over the next few weeks. Good luck everyone!

A funded PhD program means funding for any student accepted to the program, regardless of nationality/citizenship.

I applied as well. But honestly -- they awarded something like 80 fellowships out of over 1000 applications last time, I can't say I'm too hopeful.

Received my letter this afternoon in Boston... successful! Such a relief and a great boost of confidence going into comps tomorrow

Sorry despejo, hopefully you'll hear good news soon! Thanks! Hopefully there's something in my mailbox when I head home at 4... but the realization that my comprehensive exam is *tomorrow* has finally hit me harder than my SSHRC anxiety, lol. My letter can arrive tomorrow afternoon and I don't think I'd mind, in fact it might actually be preferable to know after my exam. Hmmm...

I hope it works out, theogeek!

What do you mean, bentharbour? I'm having the most unproductive weekend ever due to SSHRC letter waiting related anxiety, when I can't really afford to be. There is no mail delivery on Sunday, I have no excuse to bum around today and think about the letter I may or may not receive tomorrow lol

Just a flyer from H&M and a letter from bank this afternoon. Sigh. Till Monday...

Sorry to hear that, crimsoc. Best of luck next year -- we've had a lot of people in this thread re-apply and have a successful cycle after trying again, which is inspiring to see

Right, I meant university quotas during the final competition, which is what theoryandpractice seems to be asking about. I assumed it doesn't matter once applications reach the national competition.

There's an award allocation per university for the doctoral SSHRC? I've never heard this.

I'm kicking myself for not changing my mailing address to my parents' address in Toronto earlier (I changed it for any mail after April 30th, while I'm away from my US address). I probably would have found out yesterday
