    UBC!!! Congratulations everyone!!

    Hahaha absolutely, no problem! I'm glad I got the information to you in time!! Edit: LOL jk I thought this was in response to my post. I never read anything fully. Either way, happy you were informed in a timely matter.

    I definitely wouldn't include that in the email. I'm pretty sure it's against the Match rules to state exactly how you are ranking a school (you & the school are allowed to state THAT you are ranking each other, but not how, or in what order). On that note.. has anybody had a school inform them that they intend to rank you during the interview or afterwards? Just curious

    No wayyyy this is Kira?!? That's so exciting. I've been listening to DNA Today for just under a year now. SO helpful to gain insight into the field.

    @soon2beGC and @TAGC Thank you both for your support You are both clearly very qualified candidates.. I mean, look at those interview lists! It helps a lot to hear from other candidates about not being discouraged by let-downs from one or two schools. It's really encouraging me to keep a more positive outlook. So I guess we shall make the best of the interviews with programs who are showing interest in us. Best of luck to you both!

    Thats a really great attitude! Thanks for sharing

    @Nefelibata that's fair, thank you for the support!

    This specific school told me last year I could only contact the coordinator for feedback if I interviewed, which is why I included that

    That's what I thought too, after i received the rejection email.. maybe they just know it's not the program for me (however, I felt SO strongly that it was the right program for me after interviews last year). I'm just confused as to why they would encourage me so heavily in my feedback to apply again if they made up their mind already, you know? But thank you for getting back to me, it really helps to know I'm not alone!!

    A bit lost and confused here, looking to see if anyone else has been in the same boat. I applied for a program last year that I got an interview with. I didn't get accepted or waitlisted, but in their rejection call they phrased it like "in the highly unlikely event that you don't get accepted elsewhere, we strongly encourage you to apply next year." Additionally, I phoned for feedback, and they informed me that all of my academia, advocacy, volunteer experiences were very strong and I was a great applicant.. but I could improve on my interview skills a bit. Additionally they told me that they don't normally take students right out of uni so to try again next year. So I did, I applied to their program this year, and I didn't even get considered for an interview. Received a rejection email today. I'm lost as to what to think. Anybody else have this experience? I'm going to try to message the coordinator later in the year and ask for feedback, but I don't know if they'll even do that because they don't normally provide feedback unless you interviewed.

    My opinion is to just wait and see. I'm always cautious of tainting my name if I call and annoy them about my application status before the end of February.

    AH the nerves! What's going on with this school!!
  13. bB0769
    I haven't heard back from Manitoba (UofM) either, and my application says "Complete, under review by department." It has since the day all my documents were submitted. I have a feeling they're either sending out another round of interviews or something of the sort.. because someone earlier on here said they received a rejection email recently (if they did indeed mean Manitoba when they said UofM). So perhaps no news is good news. All hope is not lost yet!
  14. bB0769
    Happy to see more Canadian school applicants chime in!!
  15. bB0769
    That makes sense. Nervewracking indeed! Well keep us updated if Manitoba sends you confirmation emails for the interview, and above all, congratulations!! I think we met last year at Toronto and McGill. I remember you telling me your username. Wishing you luck this year =)

    I haven't heard back from them either. Wondering the same thing.. if they're still sending out interview offers or if they sent them all out at once, yesterday. Anybody have experiences with this from last year?
  17. bB0769
    Nothing yet on my end!
  18. bB0769
    Mine is March 29th & 30th! They're spanning interviews over three weeks then hey @robyn94 @Cricket643? Interesting. It may be based on location. I'm in Western Canada, so a bit of a distance. I'm glad I got booked for late March though, the flight cost would have been unfortunate if it were early March hahaha.
  19. bB0769
    Same here!! What day are you all interviewing?
  20. bB0769
    I totally understand your worry. I applied to the three Canadian schools, and was hoping to apply for like 3-5 schools in the States but I knew I wouldn't be able to afford/take time of from school to actually attend the potential amount of interviews. Even getting interviews to the three Canadian schools (fingers crossed) may be too expensive (though, a good problem to have). It seems that people who have received a good many interview offers have already rejected a few. If I were in your position, I would do so. Cross a couple off the list that you would least like to attend. When I chatted with one of the program directors a while back, she said that attending about 5 different interviews would be enough to ensure a good chance of acceptance somewhere.

    Fellow prospective UBC students: check your email! Confirmation letters are going out
  22. bB0769
    Im in the same boat for UBC. Let me know what they say!
  23. bB0769
    Still nothing from Toronto or McGill on my end!
  24. bB0769
    Nothing yet on my end. I'm thinking we will get it by the end of the day. It's only 10am our time (British Columbia, Pacific).
  25. bB0769
    Ok, I will you keep you posted on what I hear! From what I've learned, McGill doesn't notify until late February anyways, I'm just anxious.
