Coffee Snob Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Hi all, I’m starting a new thread for the applicants this year. Based on the timeline last year, finalists should be hearing from them this weekend. Please drop a comment if you’ve heard anything. Good luck, everyone! DarkSideOfTheMoon 1
GreenCholulaForLife Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 Hello hello, thanks for starting this thread. I’m expecting them to send out transcript requests to finalists by Monday or Tuesday. Fingers crossed y’all!
DarkSideOfTheMoon Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 Thank you for creating this thread! Has anyone heard back yet?
qeta Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) How does one receive these transcript requests generally? By email or do we need to endlessly reload the application portal? Edited February 7, 2022 by qeta

You should eventually get an email notification but they also change your status to "finalist submission" before sending you an email, as far as I understand from previous years' threads.
Coffee Snob Posted February 8, 2022 Author Posted February 8, 2022 Nothing yet so far? I had anxiety dream about this.
DarkSideOfTheMoon Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 Saaaame. From past chats, it also looks like they only send transcript requests to finalists. Is that correct? Or will rejects and transcript requests go out together? Bracing for eventualities!

I think they do send rejections a few days after transcript requests but I honestly think that they are just taking the finalist notifications slowly this year. I wouldn't get too anxious at this point but saying this does not stop me from reloading the application portal every 30 minutes hahahah
Coffee Snob Posted February 8, 2022 Author Posted February 8, 2022 Super anxious! This is my 2nd try & my school fellowship ends this year. I’m relying on the few external fellowships I’m eligible for as an int’l student. Last year they notified the finalist (transcript request) on Friday, and sent the rejections on Monday. However, this year might be different.

They seem to have a record of sending out finalist decisions on the last day of the week... but obviously they are being a little late this year compared to previous ones.
Coffee Snob Posted February 9, 2022 Author Posted February 9, 2022 Still nothing for me. Yup, let’s wait ‘till Friday.
GreenCholulaForLife Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Lol, I have a feeling that SSRC has shut down without any notice to the parties that have stakes. So long Social Science Research Council. It was good to have you for all these years… Edited February 10, 2022 by GreenCholulaForLife

So long Social Science Research Council. It was good to have you for all these years… I don’t think that’s the case. They’re still hiring new employees & IDRF is still one of their most successful program. If I haven’t heard from them by the end of Friday, I’ll send them an email. I’m still holding my breath & bracing for impact. Eek!

So long Social Science Research Council. It was good to have you for all these years… GreenCholulaForLife, I and 11 other people were selected earlier this week to participate in the fully funded AAS-SSRC Dissertation Workshop in Honolulu. SSRC is open and appears to have plenty of money. I was really confused by this speculation - do you know something that we don’t?
misyfatsylany Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 I just checked the SSRC application portal and my application says "Finalist Submission" now and there is an option to upload a transcript...so I think that means I am a finalist, though I did not receive any email update.
anthro123 Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Hey all -- I received a request for transcripts in the portal, but no email yet. If you haven't received an email, I would refresh the portal. And if nothing shows up, maybe they are slowly inputting them throughout the day. Fingers crossed and good luck!
GreenCholulaForLife Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Oh no, my previous comment was meant to be a joke regarding the latency in SSRC’s decision process. Apologies if it created confusion…
DarkSideOfTheMoon Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Mine still says Submission, so if others are receiving finalist status updates, it may mean I didnt make it. Edited February 11, 2022 by DarkSideOfTheMoon
GeoFalcon1 Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 I just received an email request for transcripts! But the portal has yet to show "submission finalist" Best of luck to those yet to receive a request
