Do you think we'll get an email even if we don't get selected? I should have the answer to the internal review process by October 19.

Has anyone else elected to list publications they have that are under review, even though they said not to? 

not in the ccv but I did in the research contributions text

I'm sure your university will let you know what happened with your application.

My research contributions are mostly working as a RA and conference papers/poster presentations :( no publications (except for a book chapter but that's not in an academic context. I included that in my CCV)

For this year’s applicants, did you get any news so far from the internal selection process of your university? I will know if I made it to Ottawa tomorrow...

I'm happy, but am curious to see the comments the committee has given me. Also I feel like half happy because the battle is not won..

Just found out another student in the exact same program and same university as me also got forwarded to Ottawa. :( I feel like this will decrease my chances of getting the award.

Long time to speak everyone!

I got forwarded to Ottawa and my application is under peer review. I forget what the next step is, I guess I'm so traumatized by last year, lol. Do we know at this point if our applications don't make through the binning process? It's killing me I have to wait until April again for this torture.

I really beefed up my application. Have a forthcoming academic publication this month, I presented two papers at International Sociological Association, did invited talks about my research in colloquiums and radio, and I won OGS. Compared to last year's application, this is strong. But it is a crapshoot. At least if I don't win again and get waitlisted AGAIN this year, I can say at least I did everything in my power. Last year I was filled with regrets because I had no grant awards, no publications, and only minor conference activity.

Good luck to everyone.

Good luck, @CrazyPugLady! I think you have to wait until April now for results. :( However, it sounds like you have a good chance--congratulations on all you have accomplished in the last year!

I'm so burned out. I really tried my best. I think getting waitlisted truly had a negative impact on my confidence, and subsequently, my performance. I am just not as motivated (ironically enough), as I was the first year I applied for Vanier. I was so confident last year it was a huge kick in the ego. I really hope this year is the year, but who knows. I'm gonna set my expectations low.

It'd be nice because I am miserable in my current job and would love to devote my full time to doing my PhD.
