Smurfie

android you are not alone in your doubts this year. I was ranked 2nd in my department and in the top 10 at my university and also got rejected for a PGS-D award. The other guy in my department who was ranked 1st (he has one more publication than I) and within the top 5 at my university also got rejected for a PGS-D award. Both supervisors (his and mine) are thinking about making an appeal because there is clearly something wrong with the judgment this year.

Living in Vancouver here and just got my letter. Didn't win any award. I applied for PGSD. My record so far (from my M.Sc. degree): 1 first author paper, 3 second author papers (including one in a high impact journal), 8 conference presentations and 3 volunteering.
