I replied to this earlier with a link to my application, but its been held in review, maybe it will come through maybe it won't 😅 but summary: I am in my 2nd year of my PhD, I had applied a couple years ago before officially starting it and didn't make it past internal rounds. At the point of submitting this application, I didn't have any "official" publications, but had one in review. But I definitely have a lot of experience in the "other" categories. As hard as I find it to write about myself, I put a lot of work into my statements to really boast those as much as possible. I was genuinely shocked when I got the email, based on my lack of publications I felt it was really 50/50 as to whether I'd get one. So there is definitely hope if your CV isn't publication heavy!!! apologies if this becomes a duplicate if/when the other gets approved.

PaulNixon Posted April 25 Posted April 25 I was debating if I switch to a master's instead of doing a PhD (just about to finish my 2nd year of PhD). I told myself if I got nserc I'd stick with PhD. It seems that academia is rejecting me, so I reject it as well. Honestly I didn't like the culture anyway.
Alicia17 Posted April 25 Posted April 25 For those that have gotten the official email, did you also get the automated email saying results were coming out soon? I haven't received anything yet.

I haven't received anything yet. They usually come out over several hours, just be patient and don’t worry, but make sure you’re checking the right email.

hexane Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Arrrgh, haven't received the official one from NSERC yet. Can't wait to get it so I can move on and stop refreshing every 15 mins hahaha liddibee 1
fridgezipper Posted April 25 Posted April 25 For those of you that got the award: come in here and brag and celebrate!! It’s an amazing achievement and you deserve it! Or if you got rejected come in here and complain because really what does NSERC know anyway zuchinni, uncededterritory and liddibee 3

Beachybeach Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Does anyone know the difference between being put on the waitlist and being flat out rejected? Do the rejection letters differ? I don’t think I was put on the wait list but I just wanted to make sure it to see if it was worth checking periodically or not.

I don't know what the odds are like though!
