  1. Thanks a lot, fuzzylogician. Do you mind if I pm you my research interests and discuss there?
  2. I am planning to apply to quite a number of grad schools in the States and currently drafting my statement of purpose. Assuming that I have 4 research interests, and then when I am writing the fit paragraph, most of the time I can link each faculty to two of my interests. Is this ok? OR should I simply delete the interests I cannot link to the faculty? I'm not sure what the panel will think. Thanks!
  3. Don't mean to discourage you but I think they have already contacted all shortlisted students (I applied to Michigan too but I wasn't one of them:( ) I'm just waiting for the rejection email that should come later this month (according to what happened last year).
  4. Please give me a chance to be unemployed and in debt the rest of my life
  5. Apparently, they don't know there is this forum
  6. This just makes the whole thing more disappointing
  7. So I was expecting McGill to send me a rejection email or to change my application status from "submitted" to "rejected" but guess what, the status was changed to "in review" today. Do they do this even though they have already made a decision? Like to show that they do review applications? It seems rather odd to me.
  8. Ever since i knew of the page, i keep refreshing it every chance i get. Welcome to the club
  9. Thanks. I did what you suggested and really hope they haven't started the process.
  10. Finding another one to write for me is kind of a problem since he is the only professor of my MA program that actually replied to my email. If I ask another prof of my undergraduate degree, I feel like giving an impression to the admission committee that there must be sth wrong with my MA. He has been kind enough to write for me for the other applications but I guess this one caught him at his busiest time. I just hope he will finish it soon
  11. Does anyone know what will happen if one of the referees still hasn't submitted his reference a week after the official deadline? I submitted the application like almost a month before the official deadline (which was last week). I did contact my supervisor about it and he said he would do it last week but he didn't. So I contacted him again this Monday asking him if he could do that within this week and he said ok, but so far he still hasn't submitted it. I don't wanna send him another email AGAIN this week but I'm kinda worried if the admission committee has already started screening the applications. Do you think I should ask the graduate officer about this?
  12. Mind telling me who your POI is?
  13. Good to know! The wait is really the worst
  14. Yes! And best of luck! Thanks! This certainly makes me feel a lot better! While I'm preparing myself for the bad news, I sure don't mind being surprised
  15. Pretty sure no hope from McGill. Haven't been contacted yet. I didn't even know there would be an interview! Now waiting for UBC and Michigan. The worst thing is I didn't know about this forum until after all the applications! I would definitely have done more and applied to more if I knew. I heard the chance of getting an offer is basically close to zero if you haven't approached any POIs before the application, AND I'm an international student, so now it's like waiting for the rejection emails I know I can apply again next year but this feeling just sucks, big time Congratz!!!
  16. Hi, newbie here. I applied to some schools for this fall but so far no calls, nothing whatsoever But it's nice to see people here posting about getting emails from POIs! Just curious, what did your main POI talk to you about?
  17. Hi, should I assume that not receiving an email for an interview from McGill means I'm not shortlisted?
