cchu Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Received an email stating PGS-D is offered on Friday

That way, I won't get my hopes up. That being said, has anyone in computer science heard back? It's a pretty large field with (probably) a large number of applicants... So I'm hoping those results haven't come out quite yet. The Notifications of Decision for the NSERC Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholarship/Postgraduate Scholarship-doctoral (CGS D/PGS D) competition were mailed to applicants on March 29. The letters containing your ranking as well as your scores in the competition will be mailed by mid-April.
Dhxurlsb Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Got a CGSD-2 on Friday for computer engineering (committee 198). Applied directly to NSERC. Will be downgrading it to PGSD. Edited March 31, 2019 by Kitarth

I'm operating under the assumption I didn't get it personally but apparently last year acceptances were sent out on a Friday and Monday.

This is part of their automatic reply whenever someone sends them an Email. I didn't receive any notification from then, so when I sent NSERC and email, the automated reply was sent to me and it included this part. Very frustrating.

Do they usually do waitlists..?

Shouldn’t that mean rejections were sent Friday as well then, since that is a “Notification of Decision”. I’m pretty sure I didn’t get it, that said, I’m still trying to be hopeful since I haven’t heard of anyone judged by the mol/cell bio category getting an award yet? Although, the sample size is small here.
LittleSky Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 The email said they were posted, not emailed. So probably we receive the letters on Monday.

Yea, I would have interpreted that they would send them all on one day...or at least divide them up in a manner of not "acceptances on friday, rejects on Monday". But we don't know for sure if people have gotten rejections either, we only have a small sample size represented here. I too am going under the assumption that I didn't get it but apparently this has happened before where they send some acceptances on a Friday and then more on a Monday....which I personally think is just a terrible thing to do without giving any sort of information about what's going on. The waiting wouldn't be as bad if we knew why only some have gotten e-mails and some of us haven't.
cchu Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 I was hype over the weekend but I now I feel depressed.
TheCivLad Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 I heard some people also received rejections. I guess there's just a bunch of emails that haven't been sent yet. Trying to make sense of this is futile. From what I gather I think the process is just unorganized.. there's no patterns or anything. Just a chunk of the emails are yet to be sent. I think they sent the first batch of emails even though the rest wasn't done because they were trying to avoid a bunch of angry grad students or institutions saying they were late.

Hearing that some people have also gotten rejections makes me even more confused! Are these people you personally know? I definitely agree about the deadline thing. This way they can say they were set to send but that the system just didn't process them all or something ridiculous. I would have preferred at least an email saying the results are being spread over x number of days.

Just the PGS D awardees would get bumped up to CGS

Elli_056 Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Do we think they are actually going to send the rest of them out today?

I emailed them last Friday and they responded this morning saying "We already mailed the results out on Friday" so I don't know what that means...
LiquidEther Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Ahh, I remember the Tricouncil Master's awards being announced at midnight through the portal on the determined date. I'm surprised what a mess this is...

Did you reply inquiring about emailed results or have you just given up on them? Haha. Also which email did you send to? Edited April 1, 2019 by Elli_056
