Unsuccessful here to. THats what you get for using Evolutionary Psychology with history, the old school at the AHRC give you a Grade 2!!! Totally devistated and angry, every academic that looked over my proposal said how strong it was. I honestly don't knwo what I'm doing next.

Sorry about your news guys, I'm truly feeling you pain on this. Thats honestly the worst thing I've ever received in the post.

congrats phdnewbie! All us AHRC people may be having a horrible time waiting, but makes us feel better than people are getting funding, there is hope for us yet!

It may be a waste of time... But any news on time scales would be good right now!

100% Go away! Really don't see us getting anything much before a few days before the 21st, unless some kind soul at the AHRC is reading this and would like to be kind to us :) It funny, this one letter will make this a summer to remember, be it for the right or wrong reason. As long as you know you have put in the best proposal that you possibly could, then you just have to be positive. Its tough though.. but its the only way of not going mad!

Yes, our Uni capped it at 5 too, and we are quite large. It seems that 5 is the cap across all universities entering students for the SC, regardless of size. Call me an optimist, but I have become quite hopeful, I really think we have a better chance than previous years. I going for History, but feeling everyone's pain. Good luck to you all... I really hope the best proposals get the funding that they deserve!
