Feels like it haha. Do you think not knowing yet is a bad sign?

Received CGS-D from 187 about an hour ago (only checked an hour ago, could have been earlier). Ranked 2/227. Will have to decline unfortunately for personal reasons, hopefully it goes to someone else who can do some awesome molbio research with it! Good luck everyone!

2/227!! super impressive. Im so proud of you, achieving that would be huge for me so I hope you can appreciate the impact you have on the world and the molbio research hub!

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!  I'm actually quite surprised myself with the ranking, I kinda feel like these awards just judge you based off of how many prior publications you have, which is tough when you're trying to get your foot in the door. I remember when I applied for CGS-M in 2015, with no publications, 1st year of my Master's and fresh out of undergrad and was rejected outright. Took a lot to get the publications that gave me the boost. To those who didn't get it, please don't give up!

Do you think we should call them?

Hi folks. I’ve been lurking for a while but created an account to post. Does anyone else feel like their scores were really low? I have 2 first author publications, a 4.0 gpa, and I felt my proposal was fairly strong. However, I only scored 28 and 30 respectively.

I still don't have the folder ? I tried calling them. They said we should wait.

I don't know to be honest, I've requested to see any written comments about my application because I'm curious. However, I do find it weird that your score is lower than you expected. Getting two first author publications should give you a huge boost. Have you made a request for any written comments?

I'm lucky enough to be on the west coast so they should be in by 8:59 for me, so I'm just gonna wait it out and hope they're in by then!

Made an account just to chime in. Also 187 waiting. The pessimist in me is telling me that the reason it's taking so long is because I didn't get it ?

Hi. I made an account to ask this question - it has been bugging me the entire night, and I think I am going down the rabbit hole.
In the letter for result notification, there is <Application No.: PGSD3 - 5xxxxx - 2020>. Is that 5xxxxx number supposed to match the NSERC PIN number? 

Thanks!

That's a good question. I have no idea, but I can tell you that mine do not match.

Mine doesn't either , it also doesn't overlap with the reference number on my initial application.
