Congrats to all of those that have gotten their acceptance letters already!
I am eagerly awaiting a response from the UofA, even after the first round of admissions have been given (http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=speech+alberta). It still says decision "Pending" on my account as well. I am well aware that this is the last step of the process that they usually update (this is my fourth time applying to the UofA). It is good to know that I am not alone though. I really thought this year was my year (I graduated from the Education program with a 3.8 GPA, have plenty of volunteer experience, and work full time as a teacher now). Fingers are still crossed!
