vivaldi Posted March 28, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vander Posted March 28, 2012 Share 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...

mattboud Posted March 28, 2012 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironmonkey66 Posted March 28, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliasg Posted March 28, 2012 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
