Letter came today, and it was successful! I am thrilled to have notification finally.
Stats:
Applied through the university going into the first year of my MA (so the award's duration will be for my second year)
GPA: 86% in last two years of undergrad
Honours degree recipient
Three small scholarships
Two conferences in my final year of undergrad: Congress and a small graduate conference through my university
One pending publication at the time of the application
Letters from my Honours thesis supervisor and my current supervisor. I imagine they were quite good.
I did multiple workshops with my proposal and numerous one-on-one sessions with my pro-tem supervisor. Total time spent...24+ hours?
Congrats to everyone who has found out so far, and good wishes to those still waiting.
