I'm so paranoid Only in rare situations that it gets rejected after the POI and committee and put your name forward. ALSO, officially rejected from UVIC and Ryerson ... good riddance!

punkwich Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 I still haven't gotten my Ryerson rejection...weird! got my Uvic one yesterday, though. Accepted Lakehead - looking unlikely I'll come off any waitlists and the research there is a great fit and my POI is so nice. Piagetsky 1

elicit Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Hi all. Just received notice that I am offered CIHR for a clinical program that I was interviewed/rejected from (Western). Would it be crude of me to email the POI that rejected me and say something around the lines of "Hey, would you reconsider now that I have funding?"
BeezKnees Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 12 hours ago, LilyD said: Did they give you a reason why? Yep! When my POI told me it didnt go through, he told me it was because of my grades. Basically, they werent high enough.

I’ve heard of people getting into programs after being waitlisted or rejected because they got external funding.
cleopoletra Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Along those lines, I was offered OGS at York, so I decided to email the graduate office and let them know. Do you think I should also email the POIs I applied to? I wasn't sure if that would be weird, since I applied to more than one POI, and I'm not sure who I am waitlisted for.
prospectclin Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Does anyone know how or if it’s possible to check your CIHR ranking?

I know for the school I was waitlisted at for CIHR, they weren't allowed to tell me how far down I am on the list. It may be different depending on your school though, so you might want to try asking the grad department!

I did the same thing when I won both the masters and doctoral SSHRC awards without an acceptance.
clinpsychian Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 I got offered an OGS at York as well, but haven't heard anything regarding a change in my application status. Should I email the grad department or my POI? Is this situation similar to CGS-M funding, where you can get a scholarship for a school you didn't get an acceptance at?

Would it be crude of me to email the POI that rejected me and say something around the lines of "Hey, would you reconsider now that I have funding?" CIHR is definitely worth inquiring about! I know it helped me once upon a time Do keep in mind, though, that if you were rejected and not still on the waitlist that might make it a bit more difficult. But no harm in trying like everyone has said!

As above, if you are still on the waitlist, it's a good reason to reach out and let them know that you are able to bring external funding to the table, particularly with your POI. They may decide to then connect with the admin and see if taking you is still a possibility (if they are able to take one more student at this point). clinpsychian and Neurophilic 2
