Does anyone have waiting list stats? Like, on average, how many people on a given waiting list end up getting an award? 

[1Q84]

Thanks boho! This was very helpful.

Can the 'Request for Instalment' be found on their website or from the uni where I got the award? I haven't received this either?

Don't know about US, but I don't think we have that here in Canada.

You are right, it is crazy confusing. A few years ago there was a guy at Queen's who was waitlisted for the SSHRC (several times) and won the Vanier. http://www.queensu.ca/culturalstudies/node/43

I got a Vanier and was flat turned down for SSHRC. These are odd sometimes. Hang in there.

I emailed SSHRC about my place on the waiting list. Please see reply below. I have 21 people ahead of me.... That doesn't bode well, does it?  Either way, I'm a bit confused re: the difference between the scores I was given by the two adjudicators -- I mean, if the second adjudicator had ranked me a little bit higher, it might have made a significant difference:

Committee 1A

Scores (2 members): 7.6 and 4.5 (out of ten)
Total Score: 12.1/20
Success rate and rank necessary to be offered award in the National competition: 
      42.1 % Success rate 
    Rank necessary to be offered award:  74/176 
    The top 74 applications in Committee 1A where offered a Doctoral Award
Your Rank: your application ranked: 95/176

 

who exactly did you email? 

[turkergirl]

I emailed this address: fellowships@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca

They said it could take up to 4 working days for me to hear back from them, though I did get a detailed response within 24 hours.

I asked for something akin to this when I emailed SSHRC, but they responded with: 

"As the chances of additional offers being made depend on a variety of factors, it is impossible to predict if and when such offers would be made. Please rest assured that SSHRC will contact you in the event that funding should become available."
 

More waiting....

Thanks!

Same in LA...

Um, so have we confirmed that unsuccessful applicants also receive mail notifying them of that (especially at the same time as success applicants?) Or do they either not mail anything, or mail it at a later date?

I assumed that people with numbers who were not successful must have gotten them from their letters?

Mmm oh right. I must've breezed over those... only saw waitlist and successful apps. 

[SadieLou]

All I see are unsuccessful ones.

They're all mine.

They visit me in my dreams at night.

Their text scrambles and turns into maniacally-laughing faces.

It arrived! No SSHRC this year. But I'm working on ramping up my CV for next year.

Sorry to hear! I'm inspired by your positivity though

Edit: mail just came and nothing for me. Am I literally the last person on earth waiting?

I recommend writing single-authored manuscripts in low to low-medium quality journals. You will undoubtedly get a couple of super mean reviews (one reviewer told me my writing was incomprehensible or even worse the horrible desk reject experience ) but nothing separates you from your peers like publishing low-impact manuscripts that nobody will ever read.

Nothing in my Informed Delivery email... hoping we both get ours today, though!

[yellowsweatygorilla]

For those still waiting:

SSHRC just sent me this:

"We ask that applicants wait two weeks from the mail-out date for results before contacting SSHRC about receiving their results in an alternate format, to allow for any potential delays. If, by either this coming Friday or next Monday, you have not received your results package, you can request to receive your results electronically. To do so, please contact fellowships@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca."
