sjalava Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Agree with all of you. They keep moving the goal posts by changing the date and only bother to respond to a few individuals. Meanwhile most of us are here without login information and other people are already celebrating. With no clear indication of why that is a thing.

I guess it's not even by province either then (I don't think anyone at my school's received anything yet? but I obviously wouldn't know for sure). Now I'm wondering if they really did send out most of the winners by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elodie Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I don't go to U of T, but my university which is also quite large, claims they didn't get access to the portal today. Or at least it was not shard with individual programs yet. So I would still have hope that these individual winners heard from SSHRC directly and not from their institutions.

MoneyTree Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Yeah this is driving me up the wallllll. I'm so restless but also so sick and just can't do anything but lie in bed and be angry and squirmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEF@ualberta Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I tried but wasn't able to log in. No account...? This is all very frustrating and innervating. Good luck for everyone still suspended! morrisseywyse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elodie Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Just now, magicsana said: I saw at least 2 rejections today Seems like more direct applicants were notified today and yesterday. I would also guess that direct applicants are less likely to check this forum compared to those of us already in grad studies. So maybe significantly more rejections that simply weren't posted here (success rate for 1st year as been 15%). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurnLeft Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 That said, there's no way they sent out ALL the acceptances if they're truly giving over 1000 people an acceptance. The numbers don't add up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurnLeft Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Can I also say - THANKS to everyone for being paranoid and obsessed and stressed with this with me.

MoneyTree Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) OK my department just emailed me (before I even got an extranet access email). I only read the blurb that popped up on my phone. It contains the word "unfortunately." Oh well. Edit: I'm at UBC in Committee 1. Edited April 30, 2020 by MoneyTree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do something special for yourself anyway. We got this far from working hard and putting in a lot of time and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
