UTgradst Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Applied. The PIN was sent through email last Oct, together with the acknowledgement. Your side? No, I received nothing so far. Why didn't they send me anything then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydryx Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Deane, did you apply directly to NSERC? Or through your school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTgradst Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Deane, did you apply directly to NSERC? Or through your school? Directly to NSERC. What has happned to my application then. I'm sooooo worried! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtlgrad Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 <br />Hmm, did you accept the award? Maybe if you decline it they remove your PIN.<br /><br />I just noticed that mine is also automatically showing up in my Form 200 application I submitted in the fall.<br /><br /><br /><br /> I declined it. Now I'm all worried cause my profile doesn't show a pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydryx Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hmm, I'm not sure what to say then. I figured had Deane applied directly to NSERC, but you applied through your school, that could account for the differences. I know I didn't hear anything about an acknowledgment from NSERC (though I received one saying my application was being forwarded from my school).

uwGradStudent Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Mine too... so upset that they did not update my pin What if it was the case where people who get the scholarship, get their PIN later since they will be busy processing their acceptance papers? OR Just like any competition, rejected people get notified/updated first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydryx Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 What if it was the case where people who get the scholarship, get their PIN later since they will be busy processing their acceptance papers? OR Just like any competition, rejected people get notified/updated first? That's a possibility! I'm definitely not reading anything into the PIN situation. I won't believe anything until I have that letter in my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecophys Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I just passed my comps this morning......A big sigh of relief.....now I can focus my nervous energy on the mailman! Waiting on NSERC and Vanier decisions this week and whether my supervisors NSERC grant gets approved........big week of announcements! BTW, I don't have a pin yet either.......make me a little nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhdavis1978 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I applied directly to NSERC, since it's for a PDF, and I'm in the US. I've applied to NSERC before, and previously had a PIN, but I didn't know what it was, so when I applied I didn't fill my PIN number in. I don't recognize the number though, so it may be a new PIN, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I'm working on protein evolution in a biochemistry lab.

QTPIE Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 This is from the NSERC website: http://www.nserc-crs...tions/200/e.asp "Personal Identification Number (PIN) All NSERC applicants have received, or will receive, an NSERC PIN. Refer to your PIN each time you apply for an award and in future correspondence with NSERC. If you have not previously applied to NSERC, or if you cannot remember your PIN, leave the field blank." I didn't receive a PIN number when I applied last year for the first time. I only have a PIN number now (automatically put on my application in the fall) after applying for an award. I don't think you can conclude anything from the PIN number. It's just a number they assign to you so that they can easily correspond to you. If you applied for something through NSERC, they will give you a PIN number regardless if you got an award. Hope this helps. I'm waiting for the results and I'm at UWO. Good luck to all!

Sydryx Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'm pretty sure that once you have a PIN, it doesn't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that means nothing but they received my application. Good luck to all! Yes, I hadn't received any email from them in OCT, but called them today, and it seems they didn't enter my email correctly! They forwarded the email to me again and now I have also a PIN. But just waiting for the letter. How long does a regular mail take from Ottawa to Toronto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
