    In my case when I had the OGS it limited internal scholarships too up to 10k, it sucked because it mad eme ineligible for extra scholarships through the year too. TAships and RAships don't count, but the university said the internal awards counted towards the limit.

    Unsuccessful but I got the 3 year SSHRC. So funny how these committees work, though it's not the first time I hear of people getting a more expensive SSHRC and not getting the OGS. Date of status update was May 04, so basically they've had an answer for 10 days and are only releasing now? PS: I got them both years for MA with not so great applications. I wonder if they're harder to get for phd or just weird luck.

    The website still says "A panel of 3 university professors will be adjudicating OGS applications and we expect that the results will be available early May 2012. Please check back at that time." They should know that as soon as we go past May 15th is starts to be "late May" not "early May." So I hope they publish something soon.

    Some people may turn down SSHRC for Vanier or Fulbright, or even decide not to do a PhD. So the money goes into the waitlist.

    The points are not really comparable across the fields or even in the same discipline. They're only comparable inside the committee that evaluated that pile of applications. So the both of you were in different committees, for sure. It makes it so much harder to guess things... :/

    I'm in interdisciplinary studies applying for PoliSci phd if it helps. So weird how cutoff scores vary so much according to disciplines. I guess they expect different things from different areas right..

    That makes sense. I'm in the Social Sciences and in my particular discipline we're not expected to publish a lot (for example) in the MA, hence why an 18.7 could be low compared to other scores, but still good enough for my discipline to guarantee a super SSHRC apparently. But people in the waitlist, don't lose hope! There's always a good amount of rejections every year in lieu of other big scholarships.

    I'm sorry. It's so weird with the higher score, maybe it's the budget cuts. They don't realize how much these cuts can change the life of a phd student.

    So it's the first day of spring. I can officially start to bite my nails in anxiety for results.

    For PhD, with January deadlines from Jan 5th to Jan 31st, it took me between 3 weeks to 6 weeks to get all offers back.
  19. electrochoc
    If you have other good offers on the table, they're always negotiable. That said, it might not always be wise to negotiate them if you know what I mean, it could reflect badly on you. Some departments will just have no other money though, so even if you try to negotiate there is nothing they can do.

    I was nominated for the Elia and was told it takes between 5 to 10 days to hear about it. So since they're similar type of awards at York, I assume a similar timeline for the Bennett.
  21. electrochoc
    Who has been your point of contact there? If you have a POI, then you could approach them tactfully. If not, I'd go through the department head. Though again the key word is tactfully, if you don't have a lot of sway it might actually hurt you. But the POI is usually the way to begin.

    True. Hopefully it's no more than the standard 10 hour a week TAship. Congrats!!
