Alright. My application wasn't successful so that sucks. Good luck everyone! Thanks for all your support!

I hope the FRQSC decision went your way! (The website is soooo slow). My SSHRC-funded project (30/122) got ranked 15/15 (dead last) by the FRQSC. Oddly enough, I thought I had done a better job on the FRQSC application than the SSHRC application... I guess a lot depends on who is on the committee and what the competition is like?

Does anyone know how often people decline their awards? Just wondering if I should have any hope of moving up the wait list. I know the CGS-M waitlist can move pretty good since people apply to multiple schools, but idk if that’s the case here…

Once the dust settles a bit, I might create a waitlist thread, as a few of those have existed over the years.

Still waiting here too!!!

[PSYCPHD15]

I was awarded the CGS-D! Found out from my uni but have not received the official email yet. Hope this eases anxiety for some!

[EduSnow]

Still waiting for an email... anyone else? I'm at a foreign institution studying politics. 
/ Does anyone know how to know what "committee #" I might be evaluated by? 

[Trusting_God]

Still waiting for my email too. Seems it’s being released according to committees? I haven’t seen any results from committee 5 yet. What do you think?

[Mara15]

I am committee 4 and still no word. The wait is excruciating!!

[Alleycatz]

I’m also still waiting — my application topic falls under linguistics and education. The suspense is killing me lol 😩

I just heard from my institution that SSHRC IT has stated there was an issue with the system which resulted in approximately ~2000 applications not receiving their SSHRC results. They stated they are working to remedy this and will hopefully have our results sent out by tomorrow, at the latest by the end of next week. 

Congrats to everyone who has received an award! Hang in there to everyone still waiting for an email!

Do we think that this means if we have not gotten the email yet that we will not know till tomorrow or NEXT WEEK? ahhh....

I know... They seem just in the dark as us. The university sent out an email today asking us to forward our results to them, and only realized that most of us didn't have results when they started getting replies to that email... 

[Trusting_God]

Yes, it seems the universities don’t know as well because my institution just told me a similar thing

[PsychedelicRaccoon]

Has anyone tried calling SSHRC today about this?

[becalmbekindbesafe]

Me: tries to be a cool, composed graduate student who is capable of being a responsible TA and careful researcher

Also me: frantically refreshing the grad cafe website as if this will somehow deliver my SSHRC results sooner

I emailed them about the website but no reply. Still can't get my results. So frustrating!

Thanks so much for sharing this information. So they're on the way at least.

I had a friend who was wait listed and he then got an e-mail SIX MONTHS after the results came out saying enough people had declined that he now had a full ride for his PhD. It *does* happen but likely is really dependent on how big the school you are at is.

[impatientlylurking]

Has anyone received their email in the last few hours? Cannot imagine waiting another week..
