Just rejected by U of T ..... But received Alberta's offer

Has anyone applied to UBC as well?

the more hope, the more disappointment .... (to me haha) but best of luck to you!

submitted a month ago and waiting for the result. Probably will be out next week?

From the past result in the forum, the result will be announced next week for PhD.

rejected by UCSB...

I have applied to U of T! East Asian Studies PhD. (I wrongly calculated the time difference and submitted documents a day late... Probably won't be considered?? Haha) Did ask my POI and he will be able to supervise students. But I don't think I will be admitted... ?

Oh cool. Do you mind to share a bit more? When did you receive the interview invitation?

Applied to UBC and going to submit my application to Toronto

Hi All, Hi all! I haven't seen any threads for the upcoming application cycle yet. Wanna start one so any prospective applicants can have a place to chat, ask questions, and lend moral support. Has anyone received interview invitation? Good luck and cheers, Chris About me: My research interest lies in early medieval Chinese poetry. 2 yrs experience on a research project about Computer Science. Applied to UBC, UNC Chapel Hill.

Does anyone submit the application to UBC this year?

To my knowledge, the British PhD/DPhil also requires your proposal to be specific, very intriguing, and extremely pioneering. You need to outline a list of research questions that you plan to examine in details, and what theoretical framework that you're going to build/adopt. Will be .... ??‍??‍?

Just submitted my very first application (I did not expect to submit that app since I had not heard back from my supervisor 3 weeks before the deadline). Feeling extremely tired. This is my first time to apply doctoral... now studying an MA (working on my thesis) and applying to postgrad programmes. Writing sample: used my course-work assignment (but I don't think I write it concisely), did not have time to drag part of my thesis to the writing sample... LoR: all my referees are not willing to write more than 3 reference letters so they limit my application LOL~ SoP: I had no idea as well (I prefer writing RP, seems easier)... but I wrote what I found out from the literature and point out some potential methodology etc. So far all POI that I have contacted have left a positive feedback to me and encourage me to reply ... they also share some of their works with me! Kind of an exploration as well~ Good luck to all of you!!

Exactly, prolly need to spend a year to come up with a RP (~ SoP, I guess???).

To my knowledge yes, once the faculty member has accepted you, you can apply for the programme and scholarship .... (but it is quite competitive for scholarship tho...)
