Yes, let's all bombard SSHRC with calls and emails today
-
That criteria is only used for the Masters SSHRC competition. But yes, I believe they re-evaluate every application from scratch and then re-rank them. I hope this answers your question
-
Sweet.. I don't think my department releases results to students though... so I will be waiting to receive my letter. Unfortunately, my letter is being mailed to my parents' house so I need to stop by their place before I find anything out!! When I asked my mom my results on the GRE she totally messed them up so I don't trust to ask her for SSHRC results
-
I wonder if this prof is referring to the Doctoral Competition... I know our supervisors are also waiting to hear back about their competitions...
-
Actually, I was very lucky to work with my current supervisor as undergrad and he provided me with the opportunity to be a co-author. Hopefully this summer I can submit my own research for publication
-
I am hoping I have a good chance. There are only 4 of us left in the competition from my program and in the past there have been ~ 4 CGS awards and ~ 2 reg. SSHRCS awarded. I also have around the same # of pubs and more conferences ( at the time of application I had 1 peer-reviewed pub, 1 non-peer-reviewed, and 7 first author and 6 not as first author presentations at professional conferences) than the others applying from my program. I feel that my weakness is that I do not have an MA SSHRC. I am also #1 on the waitlist for FQRSC (with a score of 16.5/20). So I faired well in that competition. Only two of the senior students in my program won this award (they are going into their last year). I should also mention that I am going into my 1st year PhD in the fall. My fingers are crossed I currently work +25hours a week (not including my TAship) in addition to a full course load and seeing my clients for my practicum in order to pay rent and tuition as my program does not offer funding.. so anything would be really useful!
-
Haha, very true!! We self-select... I looked on the SSHRC 2010 thread..and they only received their results May 7th.... I cannot wait another full week..
-
I wonder if the people at SSHRC follow this forum and laugh at the amount of anxiety we display..
-
which was a Thursday ;) ..... *fingers crossed!!*
-
I can't believe this. It is 4:00 and I have actually met my goals for today.... I think it is because I KNOW the results won't be here until next week... *sigh*
-
I have ones from my university..but I heard that having MA SSHRC is really important.. I did not apply for MA SSHRC because I missed the GPA by 0.02....
-
In my program, people are more likely to get SSHRC than FQRSC. I am also just about to enter my PhD and one of the criteria for FQRSC is the # of years you have been in school - sooo.. I think they tend to prefer students who have been studying for longer.. (they also require less $$ )
-
It is also probably different depending on the committee....or subject: psychology vs. history..
-
I think that is if you are just adding one more variable to what you have already done..... or something like that. I doubt anyone can be sure of what SSHRC likes, unless they are a prof who has sat on a committee....
-
my topics are really different..i have heard stories on both sides of that argument. i have heard that they do not like it when they are too close though!
-
AHH true.. if I don't get SSHRC, I will need to wait until June to hear back from FQRSC...this sounds dreadful....my supervisor wants to see a final draft of my thesis by June 20..... :S
-
I need to work on my thesis but know I will only be able to once the results are finally here!!! hopefully this is soon so I do not fall too far behind.. SSHRC, look @ what you are doing to us
-
Absolutely....I need to finish grading exams for the class that I TA...and it is not getting done.. I seem to have developed extreme symptoms of ADHD.
-
Ducon, what committee were you on for FQRSC? I am also on the waitlist for my committee (1st).. I am just hoping if I do not get SSHRC that someone on my committee does (one of 8 people)!
-
I think the decisions have been made.. it just takes awhile for them to write out and print off all the letters! That's my guess.
-
This was posted last week though.... so I am a bit confused now! Last week they said this week!!
-
When did he get that email? Last week or today? I am hoping it was last week!!
-
Any thoughts as to when next week the letters will be mailed? Getting wait-listed for FQRSC makes me more anxious to get the SSHRC results!!
-
Hi everyone, I heard back from FQRSC today. My committee had 30 applications and I am # 10. They offered 9 awards so I am # 1 on the waitlist. Only 1 person in my program was offered an award out of the few of us who applied. I am also from McGill and I received that same letter - but I think it is to get us off their backs. Also, MA students usually hear back from SSHRC after the Doctoral award applicants and this message was sent to everyone I trust what SSHRC says (in the next 2 weeks) over McGill's email.

FQRSC released the Masters competition results today. I just want to hear from either, but it looks like an answer from FQRSC will come before SSHRC.
