2020speech

Congratulations to everyone who was accepted to UofA & good luck to everyone who’s still waiting to hear back! If anyone is interested in making a facebook group for those who got into UofA message me! ?

I received my acceptance through email yesterday and my portal hasn't updated yet either! It still says it is in "pre-screening". 
Congrats to everyone accepted and good luck to everyone still waiting!!  

It has been pre-screening for at least a month for me. At this moment it is hard to believe that we might hear back before the end of the month.  ?
 

"Reference Initiated" means that they have responded that they agree to be a reference and may have possibly started their application. For the reference to be submitted it should say "Reference Submitted". 

I think "reference initiated" means they have opened the link/started their form but have not submitted it yet. Once it has been submitted, it will change to "reference submitted"

Hey, 
First-and-foremost, congratulations on getting into the program! How are you finding it so far? Also, when you applied do you know when decisions began to roll-out? I've been compulsively checking my email every hour, and its just increasing my anxiety levels. 

Wow, I totally feel the same! It's also my first year applying (also applied to UofA)! 
I'm finding it hard not to compare my stats to other applicants, especially because there are some amazing students out there. 
Haven't gotten any yet but I'm hoping to get updates sooner rather than later. Good luck!!
