I got a letter from my university yesterday: I'm place number 13 on a list for studentships awards in September based on AHRC outcomes: they'll know for sure when all the AHRC results come back. I did some digging on the net and last year the School awarded 16 studentships and teaching assistantships......I really, really hope that they have thirteen of these studentships this year! I know I shouldn't dare to dream...but after rejection from the AHRC this is my last best hope for full time study. Has anybody else faced the trauma of the studentship waiting list before?
