What a ridiculous process. I got a Vanier (ranked in top 10 of receipients) and just got my DRA rejection-- ranked around the middle of the pack (285/526). One reviewer had so much beef with me that they gave me 3.6 for academic performance-- I got the highest average in my master's cohort (92) and a 3.96/4 undergrad GPA. Does one need a 120% average to get above 4.0? Obviously I didn't need the award, but I'm pretty angry that other deserving people might get railroaded like this. While many parts of the application are subjective, grades are not. Has anyone heard of people sending feedback to CIHR? Should I?
