SEDieter Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I shudder at the thought about what would happen if the Budget Vote is defeated in the House. These greater opportunities with larger sums of money get dashed before they can occur. Makes me wonder if the funds will appear from elsewhere.

Gretta Conroy Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) Does anyone else feel their grad school fate entirely tied to SSHRC? Like, if they don't get this, they might drop out of their program? Go ahead, SSHRC, take your time--just my whole future in purgatory right now. 😂 Edited April 29 by Gretta Conroy chicha3maddy, uncededterritory, Willy_Gilly and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy_Gilly Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Even if I get SSHRC I'm debating dropping out depending on the claw back from the school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About halfway through last year I was seriously considering quitting. I was miserable. It just became too hard trying to do school work, work RA jobs, write for publication, apply and prepare for conferences, apply for funding all while trying to make ends meet with an outside job. Maybe I was delusional, but I really thought I would have received some additional funding by now. I was lead to believe by supervisors and the department that I had a great chance. Apparently that is not the case. Haha! Now nearing the end of my third year, I am doubtful that the funding will happen, but I feel like I have gone too far to quit now. So I think I will stick it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I amused myself by going back and reading last year's thread from about April 26th onwards. It was utter chaos but what really stuck out was how much solidarity people on the thread were showing each other! I know the wait is excruciating but you're all amazing and I so hope things pan out for you. ❤️💪🏽 sbee, Gretta Conroy, impatientlylurking and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicha3maddy Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I emailed again to confirm that results would be out today! Here was the response: "Good morning, The results will be downloaded in 2 batches. Some will be downloaded on the Extranet tonight and the rest tomorrow night. You will receive an email probably this afternoon with information on how to see your results." So... some of us will be out of our misery today, but not all of us. 🙃🙃 Val00198, rohcoco, Gretta Conroy and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if it's alphabetical, those of us from O-Z can forget about it for another two daytimes 🙈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone from committees 1-3 had heard, but only some from 4, and no one from 5. Then it took them five days to resolve the tech issues. So those people who hadn't heard yet were just sitting in limbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that it's based on committee because that's how it went last year due to what happened when the system crashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember thinking that it was bonkers that they would use snail mail to communicate results (like, up until just before COVID), but it almost seems that it would be better. At the very least, we would be somewhat prevented from checking constantly due to not being around our mailboxes all day and night. 🤣 Edited April 30 by LeahH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisphdwillkillme Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Hi everyone, I have been lurking this topic since October but I finally made an account now because I CANNOT TAKE IT ALONE ANYMORE. I think my blood is 50 percent nicotine and caffeine at this point. This last few days have been hell. I am pretty sure the batches will be split by committee. 1-3 tonight and 4-5 tomorrow. I am committee 5 :))))))))) going insane. Edited April 30 by thisphdwillkillme there are 5 committees not 6*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
