crackers Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 thanks for sharing! what a strange system, come on SSHRC
Luna1 Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 I just called them and they said "they will be mailed this week" and "have not yet been mailed". So... today or tomorrow. lackingpatience 1

Anthrogal Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 I e-mailed SSHRC and they said letters are being mailed today. Results early to mid next week unless we hear directly from our universities first! lackingpatience and OatsandBeans 2

(on Twitter that is; thanks to crackers for bringing it up) Technically, it's a violation of SSHRC's non-disclosure policy until all the results are sent out or they are officially given a "go ahead."
biggoalies Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 My thought, exactly. It would have passed better if the letter had been in my mailbox this afternoon! So York folks: I went to talk to the new scholarship officer at FGS (super friendly woman), but sadly, she refused to give me the results they have definitively received. She also said that no one had told her about emails, so sadly again, we probably shouldn't expect anything more than a letter in the mail next week. I guess that means I can sleep well for a few days now, right?

I am, but am wondering if my results are also going to the school having accepted an offer there for social work pHd (I am pretty sure that's what I said I intended to do in my application too).
biggoalies Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) @yellowsweatygorilla: no, I did my Master's at York. I would tend to think that direct applicants won't have their information forwarded to their new school until they confirm where they'll take up the award... just like York must have my information, even though I wouldn't be taking up the award there (I'm going stateside next September). So I think that only SSHRC knows about your result, if that makes sense. Might be wrong, though: informed speculation is now my favourite past-time. [Congrats on the acceptance, by the way!] Edited April 21, 2016 by biggoalies

That might be why they are being so open with it.

crackers Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 how come SSHRC results don't show up in the results section of thegradcafe. NSF does. People just don't bother to post their results?

It's going to be a long, slow weekend for me I'm sure
Anthrogal Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Hi Crackers, I was on the forum last year and as people began to receive their letters they continued posting to share with others. Hope to see good news for all of you (and me too ) showing up here next week!
biggoalies Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Naively hoped to receive the letter today... Thankfully (?), the postal worker did his run three hours ahead of his regular schedule, so I'm now somewhat at peace for the weekend Edited April 22, 2016 by biggoalies

Highly doubt it but that tiny sliver of a possibility is still there! Also, if there are any other fellow Quebeckers/Québécois(e) on here, we should know about FRQSC next week as well...

biggoalies Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Oh, when I think about the fact that the scholarship officer at York was actually working on the results list when I dropped by her desk yesterday... Edited April 22, 2016 by biggoalies
preambling Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Did not receive my letter here today in Montreal, so I'll be sitting tight over the weekend too. Wish everyone well through this final stretch!
DealBreakerC Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I have to go away for a presentation on Wednesday of next week. So you know how this is going to work out right? Everyone will be getting their letters on Wednesday and I will be a nervous wreck because I won't be able to check my mail until the 30th
