Liv_G Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) If they say "this week" today, I'm skeptical it's happening today... /sigh My friend's prof is on one of the committees and said that the decisions are already made, they met almost a month ago to discuss them, apparently.

apoc19 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 1 hour ago, schnert said: For the last few years SSHRC has announced on twitter when the letters had been sent out. An applicant this year pointed this out, and SSHRC "liked" the tweet. See also LAST YEAR's mail-out announcement tweet. Setting a push notification for @sshrc_crsh might be an idea. Although this is true, it seems as though people started finding out last year by April 22 either through mail or by being notified by their department. I just checked with my department again and they have yet to receive word so I do think it's a bit delayed this year. misswan, schnert and violabec 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleBooks Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Last year SSHRC tweeted on Tues April 26th that letters had been mailed out. My friend in Ottawa got hers Mon April 25th (day before tweet). My friend and I who are located in Southern Ontario got ours on April 26th. Here is a pic from SSHRC's Twitter account today. Should arrive any day now..... cosmokramer, misswan, Camel90 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violabec Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yeah--this is pretty brutal waiting ... (but then again, I have no patience). Postdoctoral sshrcs were later this year ... dunno if that matters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, I don't think the schools have been informed either (by email). I contacted the awards officer yesterday, and she said she has not heard yet.

I really hope that SSHRC just resorts to emailing the results given the time crunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the letters will actually go out before Friday (somewhere in this thread someone said something about receiving the letter before the tweet). In any case, hope it all works out for you!

This late SSHRC business is super annoying! Maybe it depends of the university but at OttawaU, You can accept OGS and then cancel it if you got SSHRC. You should ask your school if it's a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violabec Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 If they HAVE to still send us our letters by archaic means, I think I'd prefer it if they don't tweet about it first. We're sort of waiting for TWO things to happen. cosmokramer, 1Q84, genderboi and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
