CCBB Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 My mailman is notoriously late (Ottawa). Fingers crossed...

I was hopeful we might get our letters today or tomorrow because someone posted this : 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.
violabec Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 If we weren't all poor doctoral students, I'd suggest we put a wager on when we'll receive our results. I'm on the West Coast -- my bet is that I'll know by no earlier than Tuesday of next week ... If I'm wrong, offering a pint to anyone in my vicinity.
Hattt Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I'm in Alberta. I'm think the west will hear back the end of next week. I'd love to be wrong though!
ochaa Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Waiting in Montreal. I'm guessing Tuesday next week as well. sigh.
tylextylarus Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Also in Montreal, my roommates have been on high alert for any mail that arrives with my name on it. Hoping it arrives Monday!
cosmokramer Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Seems like universities know the results already dmk and 1Q84 2

Universities get the results before we do. Some universities will contact their students, some will just stick to the snail mail roll out of the results from SSHRC. If you really can't wait, I'd contact the awards officer for your department/graduate school to find out. I'm in the States so I have to buckle down for the letters, but I'd ask if I was in a Canadian institution. The funny thing is nobody on here has posted that they found out from their University yet... Edited April 28, 2017 by rugox

ApplyingToGradSchools Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I'm not sure why SSHRC is delaying the announcement of the results since they said they will release them this week.
EthnoNerd Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I wonder if they will even end up sending them out today?
Magdulia Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) The tweet was sent! Watch your mailbox in the following week! Edited April 28, 2017 by Magdulia EthnoNerd, Camel90, 1Q84 and 3 others 6

eriksbre Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 FYI if there's anyone from UofT: The School of Graduate Studies office will not tell you the results—I went and asked.

The funny thing is nobody on here has posted that they found out from their University yet... That's what I mean... I feel like they should at least have a systematic, coordinated notification system in Canada of all places rather than notifying departments first and then allowing them to decide whether to inform students or not, while also mailing out paper copies. Why sow so much confusion? I'm on the US too (West coast) so now that they've announced the mailing, I'm thinking it'll be late next week. Edited April 28, 2017 by 1Q84
howlx Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Western emailed me to let me know that SSHRC notified them with the results. I've been waitlisted. Better than being rejected, and at least I was awarded OGS earlier today, so I'm happy either way!! Good luck everyone! violabec 1
ApplyingToGradSchools Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I just received an email from my department that I've received the fellowship. I'm assuming details will be given by mail. 1Q84 1
