Your stats are good. I am afraid I have to accept the same fate tomorrow.

By the way, which dept. in engineering are you from, if you don't mind?

My supervisor is in the committte in NSERC and told me that conference paper do not mean a lot. To have a a PGS-D, you must have at least 1 paper as first author unless your grades in bachelor are eceptionnal (more than 3.9/4) with good leadership and communication skills.

Last year there were 291 CGS-Ds, it means almost ~7% cut, definitely it is gonna hurt some of us:((

This is about the same number offered in 2010 and 2011. So I guess we might expect similar results for other awards such as PDF.

Last year 285 CGS-Ds were awarded, so it's not a significant decrease.

I'm not surprised actually - I think it is because of the weighting of the categories. Research is more heavily weighted for PGS/CGS D than Vanier, and I am weaker in research than leadership. I had no first author publications accepted at the time of application, only 2 with co-authors, and some collaborations with government and international researchers, but my manuscripts are just on their way now. I think if I had been applying a year later, I would have gotten CGS instead.

Congratulation ! Clarrien ? You deserve it .

I'd personally be shocked if it were that simple....Especially because colleagues of mine at McGill were awarded a PGS-D without having a 1st author paper in years past.
