T.burelli Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 I am wainting for the results. It is supposed to be released on friday I think... I was told by my faculty that the ratio to get the scholarship is one on two does anyone got similar information?
diegoab Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Interesting, I did not know the ratio was that high, I thought it would be something more like 1/4... You mean Friday this week? Do you know if they email the results?
JerriBlank Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) i am waiting too. my school told me that you could not really predict your chances. they told me last year 1 out of 5 from our school got it, the year before 6 out of 7. the email i received when they confirmed receiving my application said results would be out in may, so friday would definitely be nice!

T.burelli Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Last year the results were issued on the 30th of March. On Recherche.net it says it s on the 29th of March this year. I hope I am not wrong... I would be surprise if it s May because the Scholarship is supposed to start in May (I mean for those who choose this date). And usually the race for scholarships is done in May... For the ratio there is nothing official and I talked about a global ratio not a uni one (as far as I know I uni can get no vanier one year and then the next year have all its candidates to have it)
JerriBlank Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 ok that's good to know - i thought it was late too. the only think i could think of was that maybe they said that to be safe and herd off people calling and asking... or it was supposed to say march instead of may. anyways, good luck everyone.
ElectricBlueOcelot Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 When I checked a while ago it orginially said March 31st (which is Sunday). Now it has changed to the 29th, so hopefully we will find out soon. I believe the number of Vanier scholars is dependent on the amount of research funding each University received from that particular funding agency (NSERC/SSHRC/CIHR). And this will determine the number of applications a school is willing to send and with the quality of the candidates on a national level the odds will change every year. So it difficult to guess your odds.
ElectricBlueOcelot Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 I hope we get an email from Research Net or something instead of waiting on the snail mail or office admin. I'm starting to get nervous every time an email comes in.
UBCstudent123 Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 When I inquired yesterday, I got the following: "Good morning, The results should be out by the end of March. Thank you, Rachele Goulet"
EvolBiol Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) i am on pins and needles too,...and flinch every time my email application chimes. The 29th sounds promising for an online posting of results on researchnet. It seems from last year's board that people got emails notifying them that the results were online (but not what the result was), and this seemed to happen faster than mailed letters arrived. So friday it is I guess! Does anyone know where the results will be posted once you log on to researchnet? Will it be on the "completed activities" page? Edited March 27, 2013 by EvolBiol
van13 Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Does anyone know where the results will be posted once you log on to researchnet? Will it be on the "completed activities" page? If it's the same than last year, the results should show up on Researchnet under "Current Activities" (which is empty at the moment). Hope the results are coming out this week. Do they have holidays on Friday as well? Good luck to everyone.
maruf Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Hi, where I will be getting the actual result? from the mailing address mentioned in the CCV or in the email/reseachgate?
EvolBiol Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I think potentially both. The results might get posted online first (you should get an email telling you they are up). Depending on how far from Ottawa you are, the letter may be a bit later...That's what I figure anyways, judging by last year's forum posts.
diegoab Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 Results are out on research net (at least for sshrc). I ranked 69, there are 55 scholarships for sshrc this year
EvolBiol Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Results are out on research net (at least for sshrc). I ranked 69, there are 55 scholarships for sshrc this year did you get an email telling you the results were online first? Edited March 28, 2013 by EvolBiol
seebee Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Results are out on research net (at least for sshrc). I ranked 69, there are 55 scholarships for sshrc this year Heh. I just got my Banting result and I also ranked 69, with 23 awards for NSERC.
EvolBiol Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Heh. I just got my Banting result and I also ranked 69, with 23 awards for NSERC. did it say how many total applicants there were?....i can't look.
seebee Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 did it say how many total applicants there were?....i can't look. 180, so more competition than I would have liked!
EvolBiol Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 down a bit from last year though (214)....still can't look.
diegoab Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 Yes i got an email, but you have to look for the result on RNet
seebee Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Well, are you running around celebrating, or just enjoy keeping me in suspense?
EvolBiol Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Well, are you running around celebrating, or just enjoy keeping me in suspense? who me? haven't looked yet. I have to finish a talk for tomorrow, and don't want bad news clouding my brain! I didn't get an email from researchnet though... Would this have been your first postdoc?
