Vicki just emailed me this morning, and I finally got off of the waitlist at U of A today ?

I’ve actually heard a of quite a few people getting awards at schools that rejected them, unfortunately.
its definitely worth contacting the program to let them know about your funding!
I might have read some instances like that too in other threads in the forum. I did update them about it, and one of the admin people was not sure with what the next step is as well. We shall see.

Hi all! Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but here's my situation:
I am waitlisted in the MSc program that I applied for, but I got offered SSHRC funding through CGS-M this year. What are the chances do you think that they would reject me even though I have the funding?
I know that my acceptance of the funding offer could make a difference, but I mean what are the odds, right!?

I got an offer in the school that I am waitlisted at! I’m excited to see how the next few days will unfold ?
-
In the waiting list letter that Vicki emailed me, she said that after they decide they forward it straight to FGSR (Grad Studies admin) for processing. It takes time for the FGSR admin to update it. As well, many of the people who did get accepted will have the chance to respond to their offers from April 9 to 27, as stated in the email. I would not be worried too much if Vicki had emailed you. if it does, feel free to ask Vicki or the admin. I’m sure they will be of help to you!

I got an update this morning, and it also says to wait for April 1st.
Can't wait! All this waiting makes me sick

Congrats to the ones who got in at the U of A! Out of Curiosity, what are the first letters of your last names?

Hey everyone!
I emailed Vicki from U of A today about acceptance offers, and here's her response:
"The department has sent out offer letters. The department moved back the deadline so that students had enough time to send in transcripts with fall grades. The department will send out all other letters to applicants once our quota has been reached. This may not be until May or June. Thank you."
Well, I think it's back to square one again.

Thanks to the people who replied about getting SLP experience. Maybe I can do some research online through the UofA but I doubt it. I'll look into it though.
One other thing I was wondering about was how is everyone calculating their GPA? It seems that every school does it differently. I get percentages but I also have some courses that I did through other schools which are letter grades. How do you calculate the most recent 60 credits? I tried to email UofA about but they never got back to me about it (this was FGSR or whatever, not the department). Do they convert each percentage into the 4.0 scale then average them? I just kind of applied not knowing what my average would be. It also depends if they take my marks from an exchange I did. I hoped they wouldn't because they were very bad (turns out taking classes in a foreign language is hard). Anyway, if any of you have a clue how Alberta calculates the GPA, I'd love to know. That way I can see how far I have to go to be competitive next year.
Hi Bananis! For the last 60 credits, I think that they use the 12-point grading scale divided by 60 credits. You will also get the same calculation if you use the 4.0 scale divided by 20 courses.

Wow! U of A started emailing people already!! I am tempted to email them about results, but I should probably wait. The anxiety is kicking in!

Congratulations ssymslp! Sorry, the reply got a little wonky there. I also just received the email letting me know I have been waitlisted at McGill! This is really exciting and SUPER encouraging!!! It's a good day
56 minutes ago, ssymslp said:I've been wait listed at McGill! This is my third time applying and the first time I've ever made the wait list so I'm super excited! Wait list notifications come via email
Congrats you two!
Did your status also change in UApply?

Somebody mentioned that the calls from McGill were part of the first round of acceptances. I do hope there's another round coming up! I checked the thread last year, and some got accepted a tad later. *fingers crossed*
For the mean time, if I could get myself to focus on the real world (so must every one of us who are in limbo right now)-- that would be amazing! I've been spending way too much time ruminating!

I talked to U Alberta Friday eve and they said they will likely not be making calls/sending emails until closer to April/beginning of April
At least we won't be waiting for a call all next week!
I was checking my U of A application in Beartracks, and I think their deadline for other requirements (from other applicants, probably) is March 19 -- or perhaps, their deliberation is not until that day. It's so painful to wait until April ;((

Any Albertans who received a call/email from McGill?

That person posted yesterday but just put down March 10 accidentally I think...ah
Oh no, there's another one just this morning! They're both from Winnipeg.

I didn't get the call until later in the day - probably around 3PM in Montreal - so they might be waiting until later in the day on purpose for whatever reason? Or maybe not and I was just one of the last calls for the day.
Somebody from Winnipeg just got an acceptance from McGill. Maybe the call depends on the location of applications?

I just checked the results website, and 6 people got an acceptance at McGill. Congrats to them!
How many students do they have every year?

When do you think we'll hear back from U of A given that they changed the deadline this year?

Hey!
Originally the U of A website said February 15, and then they changed it to February 1. On the applygrad application site it also says February 1. Sooo... Unfortunately I'd say the deadline is February 1 :/
Hey lindzzz!
This is what I'm worried about. The TOEFL score and the official transcript are the only ones I need to upload in my application; the rest is done (including recommendation letters). The transcript is not a problem, so it is just this. I already emailed the admission committee, and I will be waiting for their reply on the fourth. I know I'm at a disadvantage, but I do hope that they would at least wait for my TOEFL scores.

Hi Everyone,
I haven't seen a new SLP thread yet, but I just wanted to share with you what we are doing in the University of Alberta SLP program this month. This might be of interest to people looking to apply in our program:
