Previous FQRSC Doctoral Award Stats

Hello!

 

I have applied for FQRSC and SSHRC and am playing the good old waiting game!  In looking at other threads for SSHRC I have an idea of what a winning score out of 30 looks like but I was wondering if anyone out there knows of these numbers for FQRSCs rating scale?  I am most concerned because I fear my undergraduate GPA might drag me down.... so in making up potential scores  in my head (am I the only crazed person who does this?) I want to see how I would fare with a lower score in the academic dossier section.

 

Thanks!

A very very late answer, but I just heard back from the fonds with good news for a 17.34/20 score. They break down the 20pt total into three subcategories:

A ) Dossier Universitaire (6 pt)

B ) Aptitude et experience en recherche (6 pt) and

C ) Qualite et interet scientifique du projet de recherche (8 pts).

 

So- basically your grades are only a small part of a larger picture, and aren't weighted as heavily as your CV/reference letters/program of study.

 

I hope you also received some good news today!

Got it last year with a 17.08/20

 

I too have a weak undergraduate GPA so I lost most of my points in that section but was able to make it up in the last 2 categories. Hope you got good news too!
