socinerd Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Finishing my undergrad at Carleton, and I was waitlisted as an alternate here... not offered at McGill. Just wanted to let alternates at Carleton know though... our university (admin staff) has been on strike for the past four weeks and they just returned on Wednesday. I wonder if alternate offers are being sent out or if the FGPA office is really backed up and is delayed in sending out offers (of admission and/or ) to alternates. I tried calling but I haven't been able to get ahold of anyone yet. Anyone out there who was initially an alternate receive an offer since April 1? Or anyone have luck contacting the office and asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenAndTheCrow Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I've been an alternate at Carleton for SSHRC since April 1st. I received an email today saying that my status changed... I just logged in and it looks like I've been offered funding! I was also an alternate for UOttawa so my spot was declined. For all fellow alternates there, you'll at least be moved up a spot. Good luck everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called the office on Friday and they said but I will likely be receiving an offer this week. I hope I move up as well.... fingers crossed!

RavenAndTheCrow Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 @socinerd I just received the email today at around noon. I've got my fingers crossed for you too - I've been checking religiously every day, so I know exactly how you feel. I hope you get it soon so the wait can finally be over!! socinerd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthewake Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Has anyone who was given alternate status for Concordia heard anything back or seen any movement? I've been hesitant to contact the graduate funding office to see if all offers have been accepted but still curious to see if any alternates have had their status changed to 'offered' since the 1st.

BriannaKarri Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Carleton wouldn't release my ranking and just told me to be patient without taking my name or student number. So the waiting continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundaythecat Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I was originally not offered at Carleton for a SSHRC, but as of April 8, I am now considered an alternate... has anyone ever heard of this happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never heard of it happening, but I guess they had more people reject their offers than expected. Hopefully you get off the alternate list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiyph Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 What is the latest people have seen movement from alternate lists to offers? I suppose one would expect a fair bit of movement in the first few days of April, and then near the 21 day mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuelphArtHistory Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Still on the waitlist for SSHRC and OGS at Guelph... Hoping there's some more movement over the next week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this is the case considering that there are still alternates out there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, who told you that you’d make it off the list next week? As I was told they couldn’t share that information. I was also told that my change in status was due to clerical error.

I am on the alternate list. A lady at the FGPA told me that I should be patient and that it very likely that I'll make it off the list on Monday or Tuesday of this week... heres to hoping.

perseide Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I accepted SSHRC from York a few weeks ago, but I haven't received an email or anything giving me further instructions on how to sign up for direct deposit/award holder's manual/etc... is this normal? Does anyone have any information/can anyone confirm that they also didn't receive anything else after accepting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't receive anything, just looked online to see what the next steps were and went to the Graduate awards officer to hand in my acceptance papers. My school deposits SSHRC through your student account so you have to ask for the money to be withdrawn from the account. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
