  1. I think it's better to send an e-mail to your supervisor and explain your situation. Tell him/her that you need to prepare documents for visa and you need the official letter of acceptance. Professor can make things be done faster, I think. I have an offer form McMaster, too (Master in Computing and software) but I received my offer like one month ago. I think it takes about 4-5 weeks for international students to receive their visa. I am not sure, but I think this time varies from country to country. Where are you from?
  2. I don't know by the time I am writing this what has happened, but generally there are lots of factors you should consider before making a decision. Which of the professors you are more interested in working with? Is funding important for you (I am 90% sure it is because you are an international student)? Do you have any financial support rather beside university (family, friends, ...)? You should also notice the weather of the city in which the university is located. I've heared that Edmonton is colder than Alberta. I think the overall ranking between these 2 universities is not very different but UofAlberta has better ranking in CS, right?
  3. Thank you. I read the thread but I didn't realize what happened to that guy Was he admitted?
  4. Thank you for your answer. I think my explanation of the situation is a little misleading. When I applied for this university, I had not finished fall 2016 semester yet. It was in February and I was in the middle of final exams (final exams of fall 2016 - the semester with low grades) so I sent them my "good" transcript, the one with no low grades. So they are still not aware that I made a mess last semester Even my professor is not aware of that. Now, I am in the middle of my final exams for Spring 2017 and I am trying hard to meet the condition, but I am not sure about it.
  5. So, your condition was based on your overall GPA, am I right? Is it a good idea to talk to my professor about it? I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on him and it will create a lazy image of me in his mind.
  6. Hi every one. I have a question and it's kinda emergency. Can you please help? I got the admission for Mcmaster university for fall 2017 master program and I accepted the offer, but the problem is that the offer is a conditional one. It states that (here is the exact sentences from the offer): This offer is conditional upon the receipt of an official transcript confirming that your Bachelor's degree has been conferred with at least a B- average in the final year (in the discipline you are entering) I assume B- is equal to 2.7/4. I understand that B- is not a high GPA but the problem is that last semester, I did not do well at all. Currently, I am studying for my final exams (for the last semester) but I'm afraid I cannot meet this condition. My professor is very interested to have me in his research group and my overall GPA is still above the minimum required to be accepted in McMaster, but I predict my final year GPA will not be so good. I am really worried about the situation. Will my offer really be rescinded if I don't meet the condition or I can do something about it? Thank you
