Oh boy...That doesn't sound very positive. But it might be because he won't need to call you on Skype anymore coz he'll have you in his lab soon ??
Well, That didn't end good. Got an email from that professor starting "Unfortunately...."

Anyone's got an idea how big the last rejection batch was at Waterloo?
I only see 2 rejects, but someone said it was a mass one.
Well anyone here who can tell what does it means when a professor, who took interview more than a month ago, suddenly removes from skype?

what's your idea if I contact with other professors who I didn't mention their names on my application?
There is no harm doing that I guess.

Thanks, I entered the name of 3 supervisors that I liked to work with. I emailed them before applying but they didn't answer my emails.
Can you name them here? maybe I help you with some information.

hope u get admission form other universities dear friend. did you have minimum requirements? I inquired about my application status and they answered :
"Hi Mahsa,
My apologies, but it seems that I missed responding to your email.
We have made several offers of admission already, based on faculty requests. I have not had any requests for your admission. "
By the interactions I had with professors and gwen, I came to a conclusion that firstly they pass all of the applications through initial scrutiny where a committee judges each application for standards and requirements, then they are given to the potential supervisors to make final decisions. Looking at your response seems that your application has successfully gone through the first phase but no faculty member has put their commitment on you. So its better to email your potential supervisors asking their support.
Best of luck

Seems like waterloo is actively sending out responses today, heard about some rejections, and there is an acceptance on results section as well. Anyone know whats happening there?

I have applied to SFU,York,Uoit,Ryerson,Concordia,Western Ontario, and saskatchewan.
but still no news from them. the waiting is killing me. I check my email 50 times a day.
has anybody got admission from these universities?Not admission, but got rejection from Saskatchewan. I inquired about my application status and in reply they sent this.
"I am writing to inform you that the Graduate Admissions Committee has made its decisions concerning graduate admissions for September 2017. Unfortunately, you are not on the admission list."

Heart skipped a beat when quest didn't logged in. Then read the error and realized it closes on Wednesdays 7-8 AM for maintenance.

Hahahah rejection cron
If we're being technical (and positive), I don't think the records are updated sequentially and very slowly. Probably a single SQL command to turn a certain batch of entries in database into rejections. If we were out, then probably it would have happened with everyone else
Or maybe we are in the next batch 
. At this point, I don't even care now. I'm ready. Hit me
(I'm currently so anxious that I want to run away or bang my head in the wall, but to keep myself a bit sane I am writing this haha)
I agree,, I have been checking the quest at the rate my employer might soon blacklist it ..

I am having a fear that their rejection cron will reach my records soon. anxiety is touching skies

everyone who is still getting no decision has been made, did you contacted by any POI?

Waterloo also sneakily sent out rejects. Check your Quest page. I've been rejected.
Mine is "No decision has yet been made by the academic department."
Are you sure they sent mass reject? I don't have much hopes though. -

My application status is still "Application Status: Under Review". Does that mean I am waitlisted ?
It might be the case. Well, Congrats that you are not in the initial wave of rejections. That seriously hurts

Alberta sneakingly sent out Mass Rejections. Everyone go check the portal to see your fate.

The source of information is an email I got from SFU when I inquired about the status of my application.
Anyways, sharing just the research area won't really represent the competition everyone is facing, but if you insist, here's mine.
Research Area: Machine Learning. Contact with faculty: No.
I agree, sharing wont tell anything, every profile is unique in itself.
Although here's mine.
Research Area : Data Mining. Contact With Faculty: Yes, but no one committed.

Hi guys,
Is there anyone who got a proper answer from the department when contacting them about the application status? The schools I specifically have in mind are Waterloo, McGill and Alberta.
In waterloo, individual professors decide who to take, so if you have not heard anything since, it can be assumed that no professor took interest in your application.
Alberta got more than 1000 applications this time, and they are just DOING their stuff, according to the receptionist, their admission committee do even overtimes.. have patience .

Where did you get this information?
A friend asked for application status, in response they told this.

Alberta has received more than 1000 applications this year for around 50 positions. Fingers Crossed.

I am also an applicant in Mcmaster for MS CS, I called them to inquire about my status, and they told me that if I have not received rejection, that means the application is eligible for admission, but is sitting there due to unavailability of positions. He also suggest me to talk to professors individually.
