Vanier 2019-2020

[Proteinsci]

Hi everyone! 

Just wanted to create a thread for the upcoming vanier 2019-2020 application cycle since the competition is now up!! 

Also, to ask the question regarding "degree start date", does anyone know what I should put my date as start date if I've transferred from a MSc to PhD this Jan? But really I started September of 2017? 

Thanks in advance!

hello!- I am applying this year- I am not sure about your start date question sorry about that.

But I do have a question about the 'research contributions'- as someone without significant publications/conference participation,  what else can be added to this? Should I add one of my research assistantships for instance?

[Adelaide9216]

Yes, add the research assistantship

[Adelaide9216]

I didn’t have any publications when I got Vanier. But you should definitely add any conference presentations and RAships you’ve had. 

[verika]

thanks again!:)

What if I got paid for those research assistantships ?? Would that go under employment? 

Also: if I had a publication from a conference with a DOI should I put it under pubs or conference pubs ? I only have one other pub so I thought of putting it under pubs ?

Has anyone heard of the Vanier result this year?

Last year we got our results exactly on April 1st. You'll get an email notification by ResearchNet.

Hello everyone, 

I'm waiting to hear the Vanier 2019-2020 results. Any update regarding the announcement dates? 

Thanks in advance!

[Adelaide9216]

Usually it's in early April

[futuresant]

There's hardly anything usual this time. Hoping it doesn't get delayed!

[rohit2801]

According to the information from their website (in the archive section) the announcement date seems to be 7th April, 2020.

Too much to handle!

Hoping they actually release the results on the 1st like they did last year. It will provide some closure in these covid-19 times.

[Adelaide9216]

Yes, the results come out in early April. I remember last year, I got my letter on the first business day of April (April 3rd it was if I remember correctly)

do you by chance remember the relationship between your University pre scores and your national pre scores? Our university ranked our apps internally, and I am wondering how predictive/reliability they are of the national pre scores?

I never saw how I was ranked by my university, so I have no idea.

Hope will we get the results today, as they announced last year. Good luck everyone.

hoping for the same! I've already checked my email like 3 times and its not even noon.

[Adelaide9216]

I had received the email in the afternoon last year.

Did any one receive the email yet? Thanks! 

[Rabin]

Nothing has been received thus far  

[TheCivLad]

Are they being late this year?

[Rabin]

Not sure, it is really hard to wait; i am checking the status in every 30.
