So the wait goes onnn!!.. This is driving mee crazyy..

I think, UofA usually email the results... I hope, I get an email soon...

Naah! I shalt not give up any of them..

oops! just realized that univ of waterloo as well have a fractional more numbers than uofa for nserc.

Around 50% in UofA ...Also, our NSERC quota is the third highest in Canada after UofT and UBC!

Its sooo crazy!... I have been soo unproductive since last many dayz...

Hahaa... I miss being in Montreal... I was in concordia before and am in love with the city.

Ok guyz I think NSERC stress is getting on ppl's nerves..... Lets focus to the purpose of this forum!

woww 75% success rate for 2010 nd previous years... I wish they revert back to those year's budget. I think, something drastically went wrong last year and hence the low success rate.

I think Gradstd is right if he stays in west... I guess, I will hear from the univ maybe tomorrow or Friday and then next week may receive the letter..

I am from UofA as well..... I didnt hear anything until noww. I have already mailed the grad awards a few day earlier and dont want to bug them more as I am afraid they will stop answering my mail and when really required will not know...Are you a PGS/CGS-D appllicant?... Can you drop a mail to them

or maybe its just a typo..

Yeah!! Thats the thing I have been wondering.. First I thought he maybe considering his CGS-M as the first year but he did his Master in 2008 (dont knw whether he started or finished in 2008).. Now this gets more interesting but for sure I agree that he deserves CGS-D3!

For those of you who are interested, this is the guy we are talking about who tweeted abt the NSERC CGS.. http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~aessex/index.html

Frm wat I feel, NSERC is playing very safe... Maybe they have given acceptance letter or rejection letter depending on the candidate (Acceptance: For very strong candidate and rejection for otherwise candidate). I think the Twitter thing was legit. Maybe after the budget is released, all the letters frm NSERC will start flowing. I am hoping to hear frm ppl around west by tomorrow or so (potentially strong candidate).. Maybe I shud check my mailbox!

From wat has been going on around Montreal nd all, I am not expecting the letter tomorrow. I think, our department may inform us before that but anything can happen... Hoping for the best..

Did u hear anyone in this forum getting CGS or PGS-D. I dont think so?

Hahaa..I m very professional nd use letters frugally.... I made sure tht my NSERC application was not like this! Damn texting nd social websites for this..

I can totally understand you... I kindda envy u as well tht u r frm montreal nd atleast u will knw the result very soon!. NSERC seriously needs to reform thr way of informing student. Let me knw wen u receive the result.

Any news of NSERC letter today? Ppl arnd Ottawa and maybe Montreal, u shud also ask ur grad department. Its strange havent heard frm anyone abt NSERC result today?

Thats a pretty decent number of publns (exactly similar to my total publications i.e. 8)... I think even the awards u won is important along with the inpact of ur research...I was very positive abt my appln until few days.. The standard of appln, I guess has enhanced a lot. People r having soo many publn even when they r abt to start PhD... I m just a bit nervous but still hopeful of getting CGS-D!

Hahaa... yeah crazy!.. I have visited this forum as well as my email innumerable number of times. I hope, I hear the result frm the grad office atleast tom...I dont have hope of mail reaching Edmonton tomorrow...I guess, you are from Montreal. So u shud probably knw by tom..Good luck!

I am also a PGS/CGS-D applicant... I have 5 conference, 1 journal and chapters in 2 books.. I think even u have a great record and I hope both of us get CGS-D3.. Good Luck!

Are you a PGS/CGS - D applicant or post-doctoral?

I cant understand why the NSERC cannot declare the result online on the same page we applied... For example, if the application is successful, the status should change from Received to Successful!.. Its not fair tht Ottawa ppl knows the result before ppl living in west..
