Absolutely! Don’t be discouraged if they say it was just a competitive year. Sometimes you’re the perfect applicant but they have to find a way to choose between multiple. Feel free to DM me for templates I’ve used. -

I was just accepted to York CD. I am still waiting to hear back from uVic, Ottawa, Guelph, and Dalhousie. PM me for POI initials for any of the schools I listed - I will not be accepting any potential offers that come from the other schools. I will be accepting York CD -

I received an interview invite exactly one week before, so it really fluctuates! -

Rejected from Queens and University of Waterloo today. UW didn't even send an email. I just checked my portal and it says Status: Deny. Queens sent a very kindly worded message although I am sure it is templated as well. -

Yes, I received this as well. I also received an email this morning asking me to write a 150 word statement on why my research interests align with hers. -

You are most welcome! I will more than likely hear about schools before a job accepts me for September start date (I am currently in an MA and will only defend in August). In the unlikely event that I do get a job offer before hearing about an acceptance, I would probably take the job...If I am then accepted to a program, I would just kindly explain that there has been a change in plans and I will be attending school instead and thank you for the opportunity etc etc Something my current advisor told me is that the best way to take a year off when you dont get in for a cycle, is to get a j -

I completely agree. It's really tough, especially when my anxiety is rooted from the "unknown" aspects of life. I coped by applying for research positions at local hospitals and sending out resumes to other jobs. This way, I know I will have a plan A and plan B. I can always apply for jobs and turn them down if I get accepted to a clinical program...but I can guarantee I will get more anxious if I don't get accepted anywhere AND I dont have a job in place for the interim. Thus, my suggestion would be to make an alternate plan that is appropriately manageable if you do or do not end -

Sorry for the bland post - I was kind of disappointed and didn't think straight when writing this. I received a generic template email along the lines of "we regret to inform you that your application was unsuccessful....best of luck in your endeavours etc etc.". This was for UBC-V. Msg me for POI initials if you want. -
