mattboud Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Dear Fellows, Today I received NSERC letter in Montreal, so I felt the obligation to let you know. Good luck for everyone :-) Were you successful?
Biotkd Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 I just learned that I got CGS-D2 :) I was not even expecting a PGS-D!
Biotkd Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 My department has just notified that I've won a PGS-D Scholarship! They didn't specify if it was a D2 or D3 though. I'm at McGill, so I'd suggest other McGillians to contact their departements and not grad studies, like I did. My department told me they were informed yesterday of the results. I had: 1 first author paper submitted (accepted in January). Three second author papers published. 5 First author conference presentations, one second author. Last two years of B.Sc. and M.Sc. grades were high, but the beginning of my B.Sc. was not. I also won a few departmental scholarship (during masters and phd), and had to reject an OGS scholarship last year when I left Ontario for my PhD. This is my first NSERC scholarship of any kind (rejected for USRAs and PGS-Ms). Glad we both were successful!

vivaldi Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Were you successful? Nope, I've already mentioned that as I got the information from the graduate student office. I try to see it positvely as I will be able to do internships during my PhD, the thing you can't do when you have NSERC.
mtlgrad Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 CGS D3. Im in mild shock because I was not expecting anything at all. Aside from perfect grades, I have nothing.

At least the letters will come today!
