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?

I just learned that I got CGS-D2 :) :) :) I was not even expecting a PGS-D!

Posted

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! :)

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.

CGS D3. Im in mild shock because I was not expecting anything at all. Aside from perfect grades, I have nothing.

Congrats!! What school and field are you in?

That's awesome! I just tried to email my graduate coordinator in the department and she is on vacation!!! At least the letters will come today!

Sorry for the rejection!

Again, this is a lottery, not even 10% success rate!! Do you think only papers are important? Leadership, communication …

What city in Ontario (Ottawa?)
