bhdavis1978 Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 I know the results aren't supposed to come out until March, but some people I know have already got their rejection letters- so I was just wondering if anyone had news? I'm in the US, so I imagine iot'll take the mail a bit longer to get here. Brad
bhdavis1978 Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 They state that the results will be mailed out on March 31st, but I've heard earlier than that in previous years (both PGS-M, and PGS-D). I've heard from some friends that they received rejection letters back in January and Feb, and from other friends that they always received their rejection letters in Jan. and Feb. One friend in particular seemed to think that if I hadn't heard anything yet, then it was probably a good sign... but now it's just making me neurotic!
uwGradStudent Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 I heard that some people at Queen's already got the PGS NSERC results! true?
mochachino Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I have not heard anything yet. checking my mailbox frequently these days, hope for the best
uwGradStudent Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I heard that some people from Queen's University already got their results! is that true?!
uwGradStudent Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I heard that some people from Queen's already got their results! where are the people you know located? dalmond 1
mochachino Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I have not heard anything yet, not even rejection. is that true that they send the rejections first? i m from waterloo,canada
uwGradStudent Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) I haven't heard anything yet as well. I am in Waterloo too Edited March 14, 2010 by uwGradStudent
bhdavis1978 Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 I heard that some people from Queen's already got their results! where are the people you know located? Scattered around the US mostly.

I do know that the friends that I've spoken with who've received rejections say that they've always received their rejections in January and February, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I called NSERC up and asked them when the results owuld be posted- they said the end of March. I said that some of my friends had already received their rejections, and they said that was entirely possible. It's unclear to me what that means, so ymmv, but it's something.
uwGradStudent Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Scattered around the US mostly. You mean they applied for NSERC, but live in US? and already got the letters?! :S that's interesting! The website does say "by March 31", But this "by" may be very ambiguous! I was checking last year's forum, and it seems that it is mainly based on your location (due to the mailing delay). I am not sure if it will be the same this year, but some people got their letters mid-April!!

uwGradStudent Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Some people got their rejection letters mid-April? Well, almost both!! But i also heard that last year, NSERC had some problems/delays, and that usually they reply with letters (rejections or acceptances) after mid-March. So, let's hope there wouldn't be any problems this year as well.

So, let's hope there wouldn't be any problems this year as well. Yes, actually, in the past when I applied for CGS/PGS-M, my letter for of acceptance was sent on Mars 12...and I received it few days later. So everybody hang it there....the letters could be in the mail already...if they don't have delays or problems
mochachino Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Hope i m selected in the list, at least at the bottom . good luck all of you
bhdavis1978 Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Good luck everyone! This may be the factor deciding if I stay in academia or leave for industry.

jsmandur Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Hey guys ... what happened to that Queen's rumor ? What are chances with 2 second publications as co-author and 2 conference presentations ? I heard it is very important to have first author publications to get NSERC . Anyone to comment on this ?
