Gustav_1989 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Does anyone know when the Universities are notified?
Lanie Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I think they are aware via email shortly afterwards. At least that's what I've heard. Good luck all. 2 weeks left. I'm a mess. Gustav_1989 1
Gustav_1989 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Thanks for letting me know. I'm anxiously waiting!
Sevenoffs Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 This wait is just horrendous . Almost there! Gustav_1989 1

Lanie Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 It's a long wait. Good luck everyone. I don't even know if I can look though. I feel like it's better to keep thinking its a possibility forever and ever. I don't want to find out it's not. Gustav_1989 1
Sevenoffs Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Sooooo close! Do they send an email out that day when results are out, or do you just stalk the page? First timer here.
Imaginary Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 It's March 31.. and results are released at the end of the day, yes? I'm counting it as 3 more days. I suppose you could make the case for 2 1/2!
Lanie Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) I have not heard end of day. I heard earlier. I'm sticking to my 2 days. I might not make it. I really hope they don't give me my ranking if I didn't get it. I'm not sure i want to know either way. Edited March 29, 2016 by Lanie Imaginary 1
Imaginary Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Just yesterday, I met someone who currently holds a Vanier. He ranked 4th in the nation. CrazyPugLady 1
Lanie Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 OMG. That's amazing Imaginary. I absolutely know I did not get it but don't really want to know I came in last. You know?

They give you your ranking no matter what- and there is a score broken down into the three areas! Fingers crossed!
Lanie Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Annnnnd now I feel sicker. I don't want a ranking or a score. Just a "no thanks." I won't be able to stop shaking.
orange turtle Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Hello! Long time lurker but first time posting. In fact, I just signed up. I am thinking of applying for the Vanier next year. I am curious what candidates who got forwarded by their institutions put for their leadership section. Also, what about research potential? It says in this section that "both the prestige of the Vanier CGS and the stage and nature of the candidate's academic career should be considered." Does this mean if you're a 1st year Phd, they expect you to have fewer publications than a 2nd year and so forth? Or that different research councils have different expectations? (I will be applying to CIHR) Thanks, and good luck for results tomorrow! I wish everyone the best! Edited March 30, 2016 by orange turtle PsychBoy and eternallyephemeral 2
Imaginary Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 @Lanie, you're in Women's Studies? We should talk! I'm in English Language & Literature, but a lot of my work focuses on women and representations of women; I also just TAed a WS course.
Imaginary Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 @orange turtle, what do you mean by "put for their leadership section?" If you mean what sorts of information we included, I focused on demonstrating well-roundedness. I discussed my volunteer and service work, both within and outside of the university. I believe I had approximately five current volunteer and service commitments, as well as four or five previous causes (both in the recent and distant past), to which I referred. I guess I'll find out tomorrow how well I did!

Lanie Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I imagine closer to the end of the day? Good luck everyone and congratulations on your nominations. Just getting here is a big deal. Imaginary 1
Sevenoffs Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Good luck today everyone! I am sure we are all enjoying the life of mad refreshing the page. Imaginary 1
