vivaldi Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) 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 hahahaha you made me laugh ! don't be impressed !!! it depends on the field and the quality of the research itself !!! I'm simply disappointed cuz they're reducing the funds this year !!! Hard luck dude ! I told you the selection criteria doesn't lean on the number of publications ! ;-) So only the reviewers know who's better than the other ;-) Edited March 28, 2012 by vivaldi
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Guys fromMOntreal, plz if you receive something tomorrow, tell us immediately. Fr me, the mails arrive at 15h30.
Vander Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Reading comments here about how much stuff people have done is discouraging, haha. I have one paper, and I'm only 4th author. No real conferences either. I'm hoping the fact that they thought I was CGS-M worthy last year means they might still think I'm CGS/PGS D worthy...
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 ander, Do you have a good GPA ? Implication and leadership ?
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Guys frim Quebec Don't worry, there is also FQRNT which is much easier than NSERC ...
mattboud Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Guys frim Quebec Don't worry, there is also FQRNT which is much easier than NSERC ... I got an OGS last year but had to decline it because I chose to go to Quebec for my PhD. Once I got here I found out I'm ineligible for the FQRNT because I'm not a resident yet! Here's hoping for an NSERC!
Clarrien Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Hoping to have a letter sometime soon here in BC! I'm also waiting on the Vanier results - I'd be happy with any award! Fingers crossed!
stud007 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Hoping to have a letter sometime soon here in BC! I'm also waiting on the Vanier results - I'd be happy with any award! Fingers crossed! From wat has been going on around Montreal nd all, I am not expecting the letter tomorrow. I think, our department may inform us before that but anything can happen... Hoping for the best..
faming Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 this guy also got his nserc usra https://twitter.com/#!/tysune
peduncle Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Guys frim Quebec Don't worry, there is also FQRNT which is much easier than NSERC ... Do you know what the success rate is for FQRNT? I applied for it this year, but am trying not to get my hopes up. I can't find any information on the stats/success rate in previous years.
dewanbabee Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Has anyone heard anything in Windsor ON? Last year one of my friends received rejection letter (PGS) in mid April and another friend received her rejection letter (PDF) in first week of May.
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Anyone in Montreal receive this morning a letter for PGS / CGS ????
mattboud Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 No, it's still quite early in the morning for the mail to be here by now.
Ironmonkey66 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Do you know what the success rate is for FQRNT? I applied for it this year, but am trying not to get my hopes up. I can't find any information on the stats/success rate in previous years. If my memory is correct, last year's success rate for FQRNT Postdoc competition was in the 40% range. So I guess I'm sorry to get your hopes up
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Mattboud, do you think it will be today for Montreal ??
mattboud Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Mattboud, do you think it will be today for Montreal ?? I don't know any more than you do, eliasg.
vivaldi Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 The mails in Montreal just arrived , NO NEWS from NSERC ! :-(((((((((((((((((
QueensCS Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Anyone from Queen's heard anything from NSERC about PGS-D?
vivaldi Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 They are enjoying our stress maybe :-) Hey , is there anyone from the NSERC committee here ? lol
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 my supervisor is in the NSERC comittee. BUt the members dont have access to the ranking of each one. They only put a score without seeing the final ranking ...
eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 But Vivaldi, if you do not receive anything today, it doesn't mean that nobody in Montreal will receive the answer cause i read yesterday in thi Forum that in Ottawa, there is people that receive positive or negative answer and there is people that did not receive anything at all ...
vivaldi Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Maybe there are people who are very good candidates that they received the award, and some others that are so NOT good candidates so they defintely got rejected. Maybe we still in the middle ? they're hesitating about us lol
