borkborkbork Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 social sciences 206 - management and adminstrative studies (ma, public policy + administration, public management concentration) still haven't heard
stanvx Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 For those who are still waiting, we received a campus-wide e-mail today from graduate studies. Here are some useful bits: "Students are strongly encouraged to check their online status for the results as this is the fastest way. Letters will also be sent to students but at a later date. For students who applied on paper & don't have a SIN, they can call the general inquiry line at 1-800-465-3957. What's new this year for successful students is that they will have an online Confirmation of Acceptance available to them when they log in. In addition to this, successful students will only have until June 30, 2011 to confirm their acceptance. If they do not confirm by June 30, 2011, they will be considered as forfeiting their award. Students placed on a reversion list (wait list) will be contacted before December 2, 2011, if they are selected for an award. They should not call Graduate Studies or the ministry for their rank as this will not be provided."
borkborkbork Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 so since technically you can take up an OGS from may-april, the results will come out AFTER the scholarship start date, and the reversion-list decisions will happen 7 months into a 12-month award? /golf clap for the OGS bureaucrats
Epyion Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Still under review - discipline code 104 History Question: does anyone know if you can still receive an OGS if you change your discipline? I initially wanted to do history and applied for OGS in history, but have since decided to go to grad school for linguistics. If I am awarded an OGS, would I be able to accept it for a linguistics program?

Chances of getting OGS after being waitlisted are much better than being waitlisted for sshrc, and my guess is you'd find out even earlier if you move up on the OGS waitlist.... hoping that OGS results get posted at midnight! (I no longer qualify for SSHRC)
cc05cs Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Has anyone from discipline 403 heard anything yet? Mine still says that I have been entered into the competition, and I am getting quite impatient!
cc05cs Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Im starting to think I didnt get it because other science people on this forum have heard something and I havent. Is it possible that I still might hear good news?!
sshrchopeful Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Im starting to think I didnt get it because other science people on this forum have heard something and I havent. Is it possible that I still might hear good news?! anything is possible at this point... it seems that OGS results come out in different ways every year. Don't give up yet!
borkborkbork Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 anything is possible at this point... it seems that OGS results come out in different ways every year. Don't give up yet! the OGS staff are hard at work making decisions:
ajesusj Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Nothing here yet. still say April 24th. Discipline 210 Social Work PhD
Jargon99 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I am currently receiving this message when logging in to OGS: The online application is temporarily unavailable as it is currently being updated. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. Please check back later. Perhaps we will see some status updates shortly.

sshrchopeful Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 actually, now I am getting that message! hopefully this is a good sign!
ajesusj Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 haha. maybe we broke it by refreshing too many times....
jimmydalock Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 haha. maybe we broke it by refreshing too many times.... You can still access it by going directly to the login page (they only changed the link on the Login button image to direct to the help page, probably to limit server load). The direct login page can be found here: https://osap.gov.on.ca/OSAPSecurityWeb/public/login.xhtml Aside, mine still says April 24th and waiting. PhD, 305 (Elec. Eng)

Eng) and no update since April 24th.
sklaus30 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Hi! I learned on April 27th that I received OGS. I am an MSC Biology 402. I received the same confirmation as stanvx, and mine says April 24th as well. Our Biology Grad Administrator sent out an email to everyone to announce that the results were up. I think they may be going by discipline (science) and maybe by school, since she knew we all had the results. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
Queen's11 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 I am also in the same boat. PhD, 209 (psychology) and no update since April 24. SO ANXIOUS! Anyone else in psych. here anything yet?
Jargon99 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Since I've clearly been logging into the OGS site every day for the past month... I noticed that the date was usually updated quite often. It could be that they haven't updated since the 24th as they are waiting until they input the results for the other sections (other than Bio). Doesn't make the waiting any easier. Every time I log in I think, "maybe this time...." 211/Sociology
borkborkbork Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) hey were any of the last wave of updates (bio/biochem) done over the weekend? im trying to figure out whether it's even worth checking through the weekend for my competition (206, public admin) or whether i should just wait until monday Edited April 29, 2011 by borkborkbork
Queen's11 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 It looks like the results started rolling out on Monday. I wouldn't expect to hear anything until at least Monday.
Queen's11 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Does anyone know how many people apply for OGS? I know that OGS is awarding 3 000 students this year, but it would be nice to know the size of the applicant pool.
n31290 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 It looks like the results started rolling out on Monday. I wouldn't expect to hear anything until at least Monday. Woohoooo weekend off everyone!
