Thanks jrg - I received my letter in the mail hours after posting... turns out my topic wasn't eligible for being "too health related"... although I had hoped it was okay enough since my school forwarded me on the A list and never said anything! (Would be nice if my supervisors would have given me the heads up to apply for CIHR just to be safe...was completely unaware of the eligibility rules during the oh-so-stressful graduate application deadline time) ...Oh well, one more spot for someone else! OSAP application to commence shortly....lol
