  1. Hi Groulxsome! I will be starting at IHPST this fall as well! And I've also won a CGS award. When will you be making the jump to Toronto? Best, DS
  2. Greetings from Ottawa (where I am home for the summer), I got my award letter late today in the post. It's also a CGS, and my score was 23.1. Four publications (although for two I had second authorship or lower). Three international conferences, two national, and a local. My MSc GPA was a 4.0 at the time of the application. I'm going to be entering my first year of PhD in the fall. Congratulations to all of you that have heard!
  3. Obviously you are overly sensitive on this subject, ChanEcon, because this response is very garbled, especially for one with a first sentence asserting yourself as purveyor over what may and may not be said on public forums. Good for you, Monsieur King Pin of the gradcafe forum. First off: by 'SSHRC people' who 'forward,' I presume you are referring either to the members of your own graduate studies' committee that A-list you, or to whomever is involved in the first round of SSHRC cuts for external applicants in the early winter? It's terribly unclear. And how exactly does the statement "as long as the SSHRC people thought that whatever you were doing (*had*) the slightest application to business, you were forwarded... lots of people outside of business got that money" argue for proportional distribution? Because apparently english, history, geography, philosophy, classics, psychology, etc... majors everywhere should cater exclusively to industry and business related applications when considering what to focus on for their thesis work. Apparently that should be the sole concern of all of the applied AND basic research done in the entire gamut of departments in social science/humanities-related academia. Obviously it's a worthwhile subject area... but come on. Anyway, sorry for the ass response, but this is the second post of mine you have (inarticulately, I might add) shat on. Get another hobby. My original post was intended to be somewhat cheeky and self-depricating and to lend support to someone in a business related field who was stressed about their application. If you talk to (most any) philosophy major, you'd see self-deprication is a significant part of our (rather limited) stodgy and growchy charm... along with wearing tweed blazers and correcting other people's grammar... In any case, I am also in Ottawa for the summer, and so will likely be one of the first to get my letter next week. If that does happen, I will post to let the rest of you know when it arrives. Good luck to all of you!

  5. How very remiss of me not to cyberstalk some other poster and all of their entries dated before I joined the site. I'm really just checking in to get a head's up on when the letters are dropping, since which continent I end up on next year depends on how this turns out.
  6. Have courage, man! Organizational behaviour sounds business-ey, so you are in the Harper-favoured subgroup . I vote someone else call SSHRC to see what progress is being made on the mail out. Any takers ?
  7. Yes (I asked!), they're preparing all of the letters (yes-es and no-s) together. They're all going out on the same day.
  8. I got through to someone at the doctoral office. They said the mail out for the doctoral awards/CGS will happen late this week or early next week. They are literally printing the letters off as we speak.
  9. breezie, are you an MA applicant or PhD?
  10. Let's hope, indeed! Thanks for the reassurance, all of you!
  11. just tried. twice. they are not picking up at the moment...
  12. Geez. It's monday. Is anyone else crawling out of their skin in anticipation to possibly hear this week? Or is this just me...
  13. End of April/beginning of May for the masters award. Next week to the end of April for the PhD. I think that's pretty consistent information.
  14. Yikes - sorry linggirl! I mixed your screen name up with lymrance's!
