Great, thanks for responding! Best of luck! 

[bluesnow]

My family keeps saying...just forget about it...you might not hear until tomorrow or next week.. maybe they're busy...

And while that's a perfectly logical response...I can't stop thinking or checking!!!! eeeekkkk 

And 24 hours from now seems sooooooo long away.....

I wonder if more people will find out today... Seems like radio silence for a few hours...

I have an unrelated zoom meeting with my supervisor in 10 minutes. Trying to cobble together the impression that I am a rational, well-adjusted human being on this day. ?

I wish sshrc would’ve just been like: here’s the order of how it’s releasing. Don’t panic. 
?

[Sco]

Loving the release order speculations:

Is it east to west? Is it in the order of application? Are they released by adjudication category? Do they cut the head off a chicken and see where the blood lands on a large board of winners?

Can confirm that I received an SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship about 30 minutes ago. Looks like they are still trickling in - which probably doesn't help with anxiety haha. 

No email, just popped up in the portal.

I think if you are in the system even if no password sent yet you can sign in and generate a password - I cannot sign in - does not recognize so I am assuming I am still not put into the system.

It lets me generate a password with my email address, but is telling me that access is denied.

Checked the portal this morning after I saw people posting here that it was updated with no email. Got the SSHRC and in total shock!!! The letter was posted in my extranet account at 10AM (and I got instructions for how to log in yesterday at around 2). I'm a direct applicant studying in the U.S, committee 2 (I think). I was rejected last year but think the difference this year was that I had more fellowships under my belt and a much tighter proposal. Also, I noticed on their award results website that students rarely get it in their second years of the PhD, but more often in the 1 or 3rd year. This makes sense because by the 1 year they expect less grounded "here's what I'm doing and how I'll do it," and by the 3rd year, you tend to have that. Whereas the 2nd year is a sort of floating year when your project is shaky but you've been studying for a while...

Anyways, congratulations to those who got it, and good luck to everyone else! This is a huge weight off, even though it amounts to roughly one year of funding the U.S. after the exchange rate/cost of living is factored in. Probably will be in shock for the next few days
