I got an e-mail this afternoon from the associate provost for graduate studies here at the university (don't ask me what a provost is, I haven't looked into the details) regarding my NSERC application.
My initial reaction was "uh oh" since the first two paragraphs read like what I would expect from a standard form rejection letter. Then the third paragraph was "I am pleased to inform you..." and I sighed a bit in relief. The e-mail itself is really nothing exciting. It's just informing me that the application made it beyond the university level and was sent on to NSERC itself. While this is what I was expecting, it's nice to get confirmation of that, even if it's coming later than I was expecting. The actual scholarship results don't come out until March so there's still a few months to go for that.
So, fingers are crossed (metaphorically speaking).
