Still waiting in the UK. Very frustrating, esp. considering how fast the letter came after round 1. -

External applicant (Oxford, UK), just received notice that I qualified for the national round. Letter was dated 11th of Feb. Final results due in April. 242 application recommended out of 676. -
Mail has come and gone and it didn't come. This is insane. I'm going to call SSHRC later to see if I can get them to spill the beans.
-
When I checked half an hour ago (1pm) the mail hadn't arrived yet. I'm going to check back in half an hour or so. I'm guessing you haven't received anything yet either?
-
That's a stratospheric score! Congrats! I'm surprised you didn't get the Taylor fellowship...

I'm doing my PhD in law at Oxford at the moment, and I'm also a qualified lawyer who's worked for a few years. Without knowing more about the nonprofit, the nature of the work you'll be doing there, or your prior credentials, it's hard to say. As a general matter, if your goal is to practice human rights law, and you're having a hard time breaking into the field, the MSt in IHRL is probably a smart move. The Oxford name will open some doors, and it's a great networking opportunity (Oxford has a huge law faculty--the biggest in the UK--and both the student body and the academic staff are very international). You'll also learn a lot, since it seems to be a good program. Many of the people I've met who are doing your degree were current practitioners who were taking time away from the ICRC or NGOs, or planning an academic career in human rights law. So, if your current position isn't bringing you any closer (from a CV standpoint) to doing the kind of work you want to be doing, the MSt sounds like a good bet. That being said, human rights work is notorious for being badly paid, unless you're lucky enough to land a cushy (and tax-free) job with an international organization like the UN or the OECD. So the debt could be an issue.

Nothing in Oxford either. Why oh why did I not have the letter sent to my parents in Ottawa?!?!
-
Tell me about it.
-
No news for me in Oxford either. :-(
-
Mail has come and gone in Oxford and still no news. This is torture. SSHRC will be getting one very angry letter of complaint, no matter what happens.

checkeredBlanket is right. I also had to click on 'create new forms' before it appeared.
-
Mystery solved: there are actually two different ways to log in, and you get different results. The one I tried first (second link) doesn't show your CV. Online Forms Application and CV forms for grants and postdoctoral fellowships Application forms for master’s and doctoral scholarships and fellowships
-
You can see your CV? I was just referring to the form we had to fill out as part of the application.
-
I actually haven't logged in since November when I printed off my application. I was just curious about my whether I had put something on my CV and logged in to see if it was still there. My CV is gone, and the only thing I can do now is fill out an application for this Michael Smith thing. I'm in the UK and kind of losing my mind waiting for my results so thought this might mean something.
