JenMR Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Huh. Not sure who mine would be. Is it based on discipline or geographic location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig von Dracula Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 At SSHRC. Contact the person who's in charge of your file. The official responsible for my file was Michelle St.-Pierre. How did you find out who was in charge of your file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenMR Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Thanks hleong! I completely forgot about that email. Yikes! I'll see if I can get any info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alau Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm an MA student who just received confirmation from SSHRC. To all the MA applicants who haven't received your letters yet, you can try emailing your proram officer and ask them to send you a scanned copy of your decision letter. That's how I heard back so soon. Good luck everyone! When I called they said they couldn't give me any info or "they would lose their job"! I just don't get it.

JenMR Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 alau, you're braver than me. I was hesitant to even email. I keep thinking that if I harass them, they'll burn my application and tell me they never received anything from me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alau Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 When I called they said they couldn't give me any info or "they would lose their job"! I just don't get it. Oh man! I just called and spoke to the person responsible for my file.. he whispered "you shouldn't worry"... he did not refuse categorically to send me an electronic version, but lets say that implicitly he did not feel comfortable... even if he whispered the obvious. So I got funded OH DEE FREEKIN DAH! C'est l'heure de la bière ! I'll keep you up about the letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compoe Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) Congrats to all who got good news today! I had time for one celebratory beer - at home - before getting back to work. Hopefully a better celebration will happen in the next few days once this orchestra piece is done. It was sort of anticlimactic to get the news after all this waiting, but a huge relief nonetheless.
