I applied around late November and after several emails to Andrea, I was initially told that I was waitlisted. (That was 2 weeks ago). 

Last week, I had to email them again for them to tell me a decision was made and I was rejected, even though I was also in a hurry since I am a full-time employee.

I surprised at how unprofessional they are honestly, all that wait for nothing. I also have 2 years of ICT consulting experience and a 3.5 GPA with extra courses in information systems.

However, I did get my acceptance from McGill yesterday. So that's good

@Nick.lb

Oh man. Seems like its really tough this year isn't it. Are you local or international? Congrats on your acceptance

@dobby_wesealy I am fine, thank you so much!  Hope you get a reply too. For me it's not the school application but my workplace. I got to renew my contract in advance with my firm but I have applied to grad school so I am in a hurry to know the results to determine if I want to sign on another year. I heard that they rank school grades over work experience which kinda suck haha. 

Well it's already May so hopefully they will tell us soon. No worries I also just applied to only this school. It's really all or nothing ain't it?

@dobby_wesealy I see, thats nice. Are you planning to do co-op? There are not many option available for international students in terms of funding that I know of. doesn't help that the fees are so expensive so doing some work will at least off set the living costs. 

Btw I emailed Andrea yesterday, maybe you can try emailing her again. She forwarded my mail to the committee.

@dobby_wesealy I feel you. I actually applied quite late around March, but my professor only submitted the letter on 12th of April. I have some background in UXD but I am afraid that the fact that I applied late will significantly impact my chances of entry. 

All the best to you!
