But you're right in that the subjectivity of it is unavoidable but still frustrating Subjectivity can play a big role if you are close to the cut off.

That's once you've made it to the federal level. Their full acceptance rates are different and on their website.e I wonder if the 27% for FRQSC is from the moment you submit your app in Oct but that process isnt multi layered like federal.

Also, if it also comes down to the field this person was applying in. If it were, for instance, Psychology, then SSHRC would be skewed in her favor. Around 15-20% of all SSHRC goes to Psychology. I am not sure about FRQSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnySet Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I got sshrc doctoral fellowship (four years $80000) with 16.56/20. I’m a little bit disappointed as I was expecting to get CGS-D, but still feel grateful. I have more than 10 conference presentations, 3 publications (two first authors), many TAships, a few provincial awards, 90% GPA. I think it’s probably because of my proposal, maybe the committee members didn’t like my research so much. I also have another Graduate degree before I attended my current school. Not sure If this also affected my scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been working 9-5 office jobs since finishing my MA in 2018 and oh my god I can't take it anymore -- so excited to return to academia! What about you? That's exciting! Congratulations on heading back to the world of academia. I'm in the US, currently in the first year of my program seeveeargh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdCoffee Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Hi folks! I got my results Wednesday around 8:30pm EST. The system said that the letters were uploaded 6 days prior, with the award results uploaded 4 hours before the system notified me that they were ready to view. Our department admin has yet to receive the results. When I emailed them asking about my overall funding package they had indicated that they have not been notified by the awards office about successful candidates. While I’m sure some departments may have results from students, I do think it’s a rarity. So be mindful when emailing them seeking results. They do so much and their offices are always under supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard that this year international students have a better chance of holding OGS because of COVID preventing international students from returning home.

This would mean the same value of a CGS-D Wondering if you got an answer on this? I know you can’t hold OGS and SSHRC at the same time. I currently have OGS with a final funds release in May, but I don’t know if I can take the last $5,000 with my SSHRC funding starting in May?

Therefore, if you wish to commence your SSHRC award from May this year, you will have to forego the final installment of OGS. Unless there are pressing reasons, it would be best if you begin the SSHRC award from Fall 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
