guitarHeroAn Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) 9 hours ago, Jeffs said: Called them yesterday again. Didn't pick up. No answer for the email either. The number can be found here. https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/people/staff. Call Diti. I'll call them today. EDIT: So I called Diti who's the Graduate Program Coordinator at McGill Computer Science, and she said that due to the increased number of applications that they got this year, the review process is taking a lot of time. However they wish to give out all decisions by the end of April. She said they might try to send all offers before that, but that's the latest date. When I asked her how many offers have already been made for the class she said she doesn't remember that. So folks, as I mentioned earlier, brace yourselves for another 4 weeks. SFU has May 1st as the latest date by which they will send decisions, and so does UBC (I think). I'll call UBC today and ask for information from them too.

They've actually sent out most offers, and only a few, if there are any will be sent this month. I am myself expecting a reject from there now since I haven't heard anything from them yet. 1 hour ago, rbianchi said: Thank you, man! Let us know when you hear from them. I called UBC and it turns out the automated system asks me to record a message. They didn't give me an option to talk to someone in person so I didn't pursue it. Maybe I'll try tomorrow.

mclaren Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Hi guys, I've applied to MS in UToronto and UBC. Anyone heard anything from them yet? Also, which of the Canadian Universities(incl Waterloo and McGill) have an interview process for a Masters program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For interviews I think it depends on the professor. If he/she feels to have a chat, they can go for it else it's not a requirement as far as I know.

guitarHeroAn Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 The rejections came as a wave I believe. Couple of people got rejected...Now UBC is holding admits as well just like McGill.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarHeroAn Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Second week of April... Let the suffering begin. Not expecting anything this week either but still can't keep my mind off these things. The fact that the whole idea of doing a masters from Canada is hanging in the balance makes me anxious and uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Viper Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Does anyone know what is the batch size for MS in CS in McGill and Waterloo? Can we still expect an admit, or is it just going to be rejects from now on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope to have decisions by the end of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omerjerk Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) I received a reject from University of Toronto today. Should I be hopeful about McGill and UBC at all? Haven't heard from them yet. Edited April 12, 2017 by omerjerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be good for all I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
