Thank you surrealist ❤️ It seems like committee 3 had a higher cut-off than usual, looks like I made it by the skin of my teeth with 10.75.

Woo!! 10.75 is a fantastic score!! Some folks and I were talking about how we could have been in a control group. I know peers from previous years who've been funded at scores lower than what we received. I mean scores are not a guarantee of meriting an award, but it's the only "clarity" we receive in such an opaque selection process. Now that they've removed ranking, it makes it more difficult for us to understand where we stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blerp Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Hi all, congrats to all those who received an award! I sadly was not offered one (committee 1, score 9.91). My letter says that although my application "was recommended for funding by the merit review committee, SSHRC is presently unable to offer you an award through the SSHRC Doctoral Awards competition." The letter says they will contact me should funds become available. This sounds to me like I might be on an unofficial waitlist, though I'm guessing the chances of being offered an award later on are fairly slim...(I doubt many people refuse their offers!) Did anyone here receive a similar letter? And does anyone know if there's a chance of actually being offered an award at a later date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also on the waiting list in the same committee and reached out to the email provided for a rank/cut off score. I got a response this morning saying they forwarded my inquiry to a Programme Officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My topic is a bit risky for current academia so I was half expecting it but I also just really thought there would be a chance because I really truly know it is such an important topic. Just feeling so discouraged. It is so dehumanizing to put your heart and soul into something you genuinely feel is so important and be rated out of 12 and dismissed. It honestly felt worse than my worst heartbreak last night haha. I have not cried like that in so long. I did not even get wait list just a flat out hard no Edited May 1 by thisphdwillkillme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just know that my prof has been on some committees of the sort and was surprised to see the bias and not following the guidelines and such. It does not seem quite fair. I almost got Vanier this year and FRQSC ranked me in the bottom 50%. Waiting on SSHRC ,but very possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
