Congrats to everyone on their good news!!
Alternate at Western and MAC, rejected U of T (which I knew). Sigh. Western is my first choice...I've been debating on asking about my rank but I think at this point, i'd just rather wait it out.
How many people are on the alternate list? Does anyone know? Can it theoretically go on to list hundreds of students per school?

Anybody else get an email from them today about when the results will be posted? They cleared up the confusion RE the Sunday being the result date. Basically, they will be available at 12 AM on the 1st.

@venuswithabook Are there any changes in your research portal? I read from previous years' forums, some wrote that they find i.e., "ineligible (first class average)" mentioned on the application site even before April 1st. I read this from the 2017/2018 forum posted on March 22nd. Some also say, if you don't see anything, it's either you are being offered or being placed as an alternate, --or the school hasn't updated the result yet, in this case, you have to wait till April 1st.
That's interesting. Thanks for the info! Mine just says "Received by Administrator." I'm really glad I found this page since my guess is the it can mean absolutely anything, and that seems to be what's happening.

It really doesn't mean anything. They will all get updated by the 1st. Sometimes declines come in faster because you didn't make it past the departmental competition, the change can also mean that you have either got the award or are on the waiting list (yes, there is a waiting list), sometimes schools wait until the entire competition is done so they can update all the profiles at once. There are many factors.
Oh so many factors...At this point, i'm just trying to be patient and not worry since there are so many variables. I'm setting myself up for rejection, since it's really difficult to get one.
P.S. it' interesting that you got an e-mail from the school. Which school is that?

Long time lurker, first time posting. I'm glad I found this thread.
I applied for CGS-M for THREE schools and I got the same e-mail as noted above TWICE. I already received acceptance letters from 2/3 schools and a rejection from 1/3 schools. Coincidence? I know this probably doesn't mean anything...I could just as easily (and very likely) have been rejected a CGS-M for both schools, but I was definitely freaking out when I got the e-mail. Why send out this e-mail 10 days before the results??
