medievalman Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Hi everyone, another longtime lurker here. I'm at the U of Saskatchewan and was surprised to see brewer's post (hi, brewer! Sorry bro!). I've contacted our Grad. Secretary in my department, and they said that they were expecting the results yesterday, but, as of 20 min. ago, nothing. After seeing brewer's post, I sent an email directly to our Grad secretary. I'll let you guys know as soon as she replies. !!! the anxiety! the drama!
medievalman Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 This directly from our Director of Graduate Awards & Scholarships. "I can't believe it but the results are not in!!! Many universities have been phoning and complaining to SSHRC asking what the holdup is and they keep saying staffing issues. I will post it the moment I receive the results. I checked this morning and still no results." Hey, at least she seems sympathetic. Anyways, this seems to be pretty much as high as you can go at the U of S. Maybe brewer has an even more inside insider...
sociphd Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I just spoke to the friendly person in charge of SSHRC at York. No word yet. She was just as eager as the rest of us and will send out results to grad admin as soon as they arrive!
dramanda Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 So much conflicting information! What's a girl to do?
walkerton Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I'm also at the University of Saskatchewan and my grad chair says nothing's come through yet. I think I'm developing an ulcer, as we speak.
revoltingmedievalist Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 My grad secretary in the history department doesn't have anything yet. But she said that she heard the results were released yesterday. I'm still trying to get a hold of our grad studies department. Grrr!!!
brewer Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Yikes! I just assumed everyone must have the results. I'm not sure whether my grad chair (or possibly department head - who also knew the results) has an inside edge or not. All I was told was: "I do know the SSHRC [PhD] results and I am afraid it is not good news..." I hope you all find out soon!!
dramanda Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Thanks Brewer! Sorry to hear your bad news and I wish you better luck for next year!
revoltingmedievalist Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Ok! I take back my previous post! My department secretary just called and I got PhD SSHRC! Edit: I'm at the University of Waterloo by the way!
canuckle Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 eeeek! Thats two--enter panic mode. (congratulations!!)
dramanda Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Ok, JUST called UofT Faculty of Graduate studies contact....he checked online while he was on the phone with me and said nothing was available to him yet.......
dramanda Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Ok! I take back my previous post! My department secretary just called and I got PhD SSHRC! Edit: I'm at the University of Waterloo by the way! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Rosee Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I suppose it may be possible that it is not a Master List made available to every school simultaneously? Waterloo has access but U of T doesn't - it's the only explanation I can think of, unless U of T wants the results to be by snail mail....

Waterloo has access but U of T doesn't - it's the only explanation I can think of, unless U of T wants the results to be by snail mail.... If you look at the secure website that the schools use, there is a drop-down menu that lists universities individually. All of the schools have different logons and passwords (what would I give for that information?), so I guess that the lists are posted one at a time for each individual school. By the way, congratulations revoltingmedievalist! You should be proud of yourself. Ack, so nervous... I`m just trying to prepare myself for bad news so that I won`t be incredibly disappointed.
dramanda Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Well, even if I don't find out today, at least I (along with canadiangirl78 & LyndaD) won the pool :wink:

I was hoping to contact my grad office (at UVic) about my wife's independent application (to U of T).
canadiangirl78 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Well, even if I don't find out today, at least I (along with canadiangirl78 & LyndaD) won the pool :wink: Yayy to guessing the right date - boo to not hearing from my school yet! Congrats revoltingmedievalist!
natalia Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Pray tell, how have you seen this website, natalia? Obsessive googling: https://secure.nserc.ca/u_e.htm EDIT: If you go to Douglas College on the drop-down menu, you can see what the information looks like that the schools have access to. For whatever reason (loss of quota, maybe), this school does not need a password. I have to believe that if I had a real job, I wouldn`t know this.
jackassjim Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Keep going, we might beat the Fullbright thread. NSF: here we come!
dramanda Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Obsessive googling: https://secure.nserc.ca/u_e.htm You are amazing. Oh what I'd do to get that login information.....

ARRRGH! Whichever way you look at it, McGill is still in the middle of the list. We probably won't be notified too soon.
ogopogo Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 McGill isn't that far from Saskatchewan (alphabetically, I mean)...maybe soon...incidentally jackassjim, who will you be contacting at McGill? I was just trying to figure that out...
natalia Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 You are amazing. Oh what I'd do to get that login information..... I would like to believe that last few weeks of SSHRC obsessing is a sign of my excellent research capabilities, but I am pretty sure that it just means that I need a hobby.
rufus Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Keep going, we might beat the Fullbright thread. NSF: here we come! It's hot! Look at all the people browsing this thread! There's at least 60 people.
