Hi All: I received my letter yesterday (Thursday, May 3) in Michigan. Received 3 years of Doctoral Fellowship. My application stats: MA SSHRC awarded, but declined (not tenable in the U.S.) 1 first-author journal article 1 co-author journal article 2 under review first-author journal articles 4 co authored book chapters 4 talks at major conferences 8 posters at major conferences 4.0/4.0 grad transcript 3.6/4.0 undergrad transcript various TA/RAships. Taught 2 undergrad classes. Also, FYI - the US letters are mailed from Buffalo, NY and were postmarked May 1(my previous letter informing me of my A list status was too). Thus, it appears that US letters are mailed a few days later, but will arrive fast (due to the speed of the US postal service). This may be of interest to next year's US applicants who will no doubt check the contents of this year's forum to see when their letters will arrive.

The data from past years' competitions also suggest that they group people by year as well. If you look at the proportion of people who win in each year of graduate studies (1st, 2nd year and so on) they are about the same across year in grad school. If all applications were considered together then one would expect a higher percentage of funded applications in higher years (since applications are likely stronger on average in those years).

Nothing in Michigan...I'm betting on tomorrow

My wife was awarded the CGS 4 years ago, we came to the U.S. for grad school and she "downgraded" to the SSHRC doctoral fellowship. I believe she just called SSHRC and asked them to "downgrade" her because we were going to the US. Hope that helps.

BTW... I am a long time lurker and I wanted to say that I found this forum to be really helpful and made this waiting period (i.e., the past few months) much more tolerable. It is comforting to know that there are others in the same boat.

I am in Michigan and haven't received my letter yet. The letter that I received from SSHRC informing me that my application was forwarded to the national competition was mailed on Friday, Feb 24th and I recieved it on Thursday, March 1. I have a feeling that U.S. SSHRC hopefuls have a couple more days of waiting...
