abdelrahmanayad Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Got my letter too, probably they're releasing them in batches similar to the offer letter. For context, Committee 197, ranked 13/72, was offered CGS-D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PasserBy Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Do we have any resources from previous year's that gave a sense for how many people on average would decline OR how many people got upgraded to CGS-D? Going off of previous years stats, by my math I am 6/7 spots away from the cut off for the CGS-D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last updated with my result on April 27th. You received your scores/rankings? Was it uploaded to extranet, and if so, when? Scores and rankings, uploaded to extranet June 9th. I'm 33/71 in Committee 202 and was waitlisted, it seems like in past years up to 31 in this committee have been offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on your committee size, last years waitlist thread seemed to suggest the first 4 or 5 people got offered very late (like Dec 2020/Jan 2021) in some committees.

CRay Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I was 88 out of 216 applications in Selection Committee 169 and was waitlisted... last years success rate for 169 was 41% so it looks like i was just on the cusp or perhaps they have cut the number of awards this year.

74mL_of_milk Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I was 40/92 in committee 177 which is 43.5%. Last few years the cutoff has been 42%, 43%, 45%.... feels like i'm so close but probably won't know for months..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walczyka Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Committee 187, 114/230, waitlisted! Wondering if anyone is around me who was funded so I should know how close I am to the cusp, or if I should just give up hope now lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelativisticPancakes Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Just got my second letter this morning, so they're definitely doing them in batches. Committee 178, 18/169, I got the CGS-D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyL88 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I'm committee 202, ranked 29/71, and on the waitlist. Does anyone know what the cutoff was for committee 202? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74mL_of_milk Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 In committee 177, previous years cutoff were 42-46%. I was 43% this year so was quite hopeful. However, when I emailed them to inquire about when us alternates would hear back, they said that they only gave 35/92 people initial offers (38%) but may give more depending on availability of funding. Additional funding is spread across all committees. They also said that if funding does become available, it could be as late as March 2022. After that, assume you are not getting an offer. There is also the possibility of people rejecting their offers as well, which the NSERC rep didn't really talk about in their email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you happen to know if NSERC CGS/PGS is paid out monthly or yearly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouty_Scouty Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Noticed that my second letter with ranking was uploaded. I was ranked 52/216 for committee 169, and received a PGSD3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off of previous years stats, by my math I am 6/7 spots away from the cut off for the CGS-D. I’m wondering about this too. What was the cut off for your committee last year?

Sorry if this is a naive question: is this a cut-off for wait-listed people getting awards, or pgs people being bumped up to cgsd? how can you tell what the cut-offs were for each committee? related question: does anyone know anything about the chances of getting bumped up to CGSD based on your ranking? e.g., how many people usually decline CGSD per committee? I am ranked 37 out of 160 candidates in committee 198, and I am wondering if I should give up hope on CGSD or not -- that would really be life-changing for me. ?

MarleyBarley Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 I am restarting my application again (for the final time) Let me know if anyone wants to be each others' pair of second eyes. ie.

KierDoyle Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Haven't heard anything re waitlist, but last year people who got waitlisted didn't find out until January (and got back paid if they so chose, which is dope).
