idontwanttothinkaboutthis Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 It is something else. If I remember correctly, last year they sent an email early April to say that we would be receiving an email to set up the extranet (what an unnecessary hear attack that email caused) and then they sent out the extranet info at the end of April (I got it April 28) and the results were already uploaded when I signed in. Good luck everyone, the closer it gets to the last week of April, the harder the wait! FYI, this is my third time applying, first time didn't make it out of the university, last year made it to the final round with a relatively high score (close but no cigar). Just remember it is not a reflection on the worth of your scholarship if you don't get it (or so I keep telling myself :-)) SamStevens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first time applying, and I am really curious what my score will be like. When I looked at last year's results, it looked like a lot of scores which would have been funded in previous years were not funded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry . . . first time applying, so I have lots of questions. Do you get to see your scores when you see your result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get to see your scores when you see your result? Yes you do. It doesn't provide a lot of information beyond a score though (I was forwarded from my institution a couple of years ago, but waitlisted with a "decent' score). It's a score out of 20. Some will depend on the committee that is evaluating though. For instance, there were some people with 13/20 that were waitlisted, and others that scored 14/20 and got the bombardier award. My understanding (from a faculty member who has sometimes evaluates these for SSHRC) is that there is an enormous amount of subjectivity, and one hopes one doesn't have a "grouch" evaluating your application that day.

This is my second year applying and the first time my application has made it out of the university.

I haven't done this myself, so I don't have any advice to give but a colleague got feedback to ramp up their methodology section, for example. I think there may be a time limit in which you can get feedback, but I can't be sure. It is so subjective! I have heard of the infamous 'bad day' reader, the reader who hates a certain word you happened to uses (did you dare to use the word lacuna?), and the reader who only gives high scores to those whose work resembles their own research areas and interests. 56 minutes ago, SamStevens said: Have the emails about creating an account for the extranet come out yet?

To answer Sam, I haven't received anything about the extranet yet, if they follow last year it will probably be at the same time as the results (last week of April/first week of May). I remember being really excited last year too! This year I am trying to tamp down on that so I don't get so crushed as last year ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikrakoff Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I just received an email that I will get a separate email to sign up for the extranet and that results will go up next week! SamStevens and idontwanttothinkaboutthis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanessaB Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Well it's been almost an hour since I got the email, and there were no follow-up emails with any corrections, so I'm assuming we won't find out anything until tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
