Its alright, I was culled by UBC V in the early weeks of January (unless you were referring to that as well..in which case I totally feel you...). Apparently my POI had received 90+ applications alone....then later when another colleague of mine who also applied to the same person contacted her, the POI said that she was not able to take students "due to departmental circumstances that were out of [her] control". Strange..but sounds just about right when we're all talking about these "variables" that are completely out of our control
I haven't...but I think it's worth acknowledging the fact that this particular thread has been extremely supportive and no one's out here trying to out-do one another ... let's keep it this way! Love you all
Just thought I'd sound like a broken record again but to echo nerdy_metalhead, this is what their grad secretary replied with: "Thank you for reaching out. The first round of interviews has occurred, however, the admissions cycle remains active and open until applicants are notified otherwise." Chin up!!
