I feel like I’m just going to have this thread open all day as a survival strategy ?

So it doesn't come out for everyone all at once? 

The department knows in advance so sometimes the PIs also know in advance, as far as I'm aware no one has received login info to see their results yet! Yesterday the login info for SSHRC was sent out around 5/6pm EDT so I think ours could come around the same time. 

[MarleyBarley]

someone from an ontario uni (not sure which, never specify) told me results are released to their uni.. 

[nerd_inthecorner]

Ah ok. I applied from a foreign school so there's no internal info  

[MarleyBarley]

how are you mentally preparing yourselves for the outcome? 

its hard not to have any expectations when a lot of effort went into prepping the application. 

but also i keep telling myself im up against a lot of talented people so have to be realistic... 

[D_ali]

How will they notify us? by email?

[fantastic_elbow]

I'm scared of asking my PI if results are out yet cause if I'm rejected I dont want to disappoint them and have them deliver the news to me ?

[nerd_inthecorner]

I don't expect to get it. It's my first year applying. I don't think I'm anywhere near the metrics I've seen are necessary.

So if I don't, I'm hopeful I'll get some understanding of where I rank or where my weak points are and can reapply next year.

Don't loose hope. It all depends on the application and LORs.

I just got an email from the dept FO saying the results and that there will be follow-up by NSERC later today. Check the external funding summary page for UWO students since itll show up there

Wishing everyone the best of luck re: Results ❤️

Well I think that mostly confirms we will find out today...... I have an exam tomorrow but cannot focus at all ?

Did a little digging.... It is distinctly possible that this was a CGS-M award. 

[KierDoyle]

I got the dept FO email at UWO as well, thanks for the summary page tip! 

Good luck everyone!

That's what I'm doing! At least my exams are finished so I can just run simulations and hit 'refresh' over and over again.

I haven't. I'm in the chemistry department.

I am in the computer science department. Fingers crossed for you as well!

This is the answer I got from them: The results will be uploaded after 5 pm this evening. You will get a notification regardless of being offered or not awarded. You will receive an email with instructions on how to get access to your result.

So, relax for now, go do ur work and keep an eye on your email after 5 pm. Best of luck to you all!

5PM EST? Heh it doesn't really matter, but I have to schedule my stress today. 

[nerd_inthecorner]

From who, from emailing NSERC?

[D_ali]

I assume EST since the sender sent the email from Ottawa where their office is. Not sure though!

Yes!

Okay, cool, see y'all at 5 PM for collective screaming then?

Shall we start with a 5 minute slow hum that progressively gets louder into intense screaming? I feel that that would add to the drama.

It's a date.

Fingers crossed for everyone! The wait is killing me. I've been following the thread for a while but just made an account today to participate in the madness at 5-6pm. I don't know how I'm going to get any work done
