tomj Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 We should remember that some people here were told by NSERC that the letters would be mailed after the budget. We shouldn't jump to conclusions about our individual statuses. seebee 1
ktel Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Man there's a lot of nervousness and speculation going on here. It's all a story of he said, she said, my friend said. Just wait until you get your letters and relax. Yes it's an outdated system but a lot of these things are done the old fashioned way (for example contracts can typically only be mailed or faxed, as e-mail hasn't been tested in court) skiski and seebee 1 1
tingting_far Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Oh, well. I did not hear anything today, even though I am in Ottawa. I have to focus on my thesis defense preparation, since it is next week. I guess a NSERC fellowship is not my future, even though it might make my future easier.

I guess a NSERC fellowship is not my future, even though it might make my future easier. have you been awarded NSERC CGS/PGS ?

Thanks. Biensur que tu gardes une chance de l'avoir :-) Si l'universite t'a selectionne c'est que tu as une chance ! Bonne chance de toute facon.
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Persons that don't receive the answer does not mean that they are rejected. I know a person tha appllied for Master scholarship and i'm sure that she will win. She did not receive anyting yet.
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Merci Vivaldi, Toi tu as combien de publications ?
ten52145 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I'm in Halifax and didn't get any NSERC related mail today. I'm waiting for PGS-M results.
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 One more thing .. I called NSERC last tuesday. They said that most of the letter will be sent in the first week of April so betwwen April 2nd and April 6th. They are waiting for the budget of next thursday.

eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 L'année passé, j'avais appliqué à la même bourse. J'avais meme pas commence mon doctorat. J'ai été malheureusement refusé. La compétiton augmente d'année en année. En 2009-2011, mon ami a gagné la ESD3 et : 1) I a fait un passge bac-doc 2) Il avait aucun article de journal ni de conférence ni de chapitre de livre 3) Il avait une moyenne de 3.79/4 Parfois, il faut aussi un peu de chance. Ca depend de l'évaluateur

eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Yes you have to see the curriculum of this guy. I think he will even won Vanier. too strong ...
vivaldi Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 And yes, I think there was at least one guy from this forum who got NSERC CGS !
vivaldi Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Yes you have to see the curriculum of this guy. I think he will even won Vanier. too strong ... Could happen !!! I am a candidate for Vanier as well, but I know I wouldn't stand infront of such active candidates who are much more involved in community relevant works !
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Is there anyone who get PGS and not CGS. If yes, it means that they already know how many scholarship they will give this year (so they know th budget)
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I Vanier candidate too. Good luck Vivaldy. From which university you are ?
vivaldi Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I Vanier candidate too. Good luck Vivaldy. From which university you are ? Concordia University ... I have no hope for Vanier !!! Am starting to lose hope for NSERC as well :-)
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 What I know is you have more chance than me I agree. When you read the comments of peopel, you start to loose hope. People here = paper machine
