I just heard back from UofA!!!!!!!! I'm shaking, I can't believe this!!!!

Anyone else feeling frustrated with the timelines for hearing back from schools? I've applied to work in a more senior position at a company I'm already employed with for a year in case I don't get in and have to let them know if I'm accepting their offer of employment by this Saturday. Due to the nature of the interview and selection process they can't move back the deadline at all, so I essentially will have to accept without knowing about slp. If by some *miracle* I do end up getting in, I'm gonna feel so bad bailing on this company since they would have to start the interview/selection process from scratch to find a replacement. I wish grad schools realized that backup plans exist on a timeline too and it's unfortunate that everything is dependent on when they decide to get back to us (specifically the schools that accept on a rolling basis). Just wanted to get this off my chest, anyone else in a similar boat?

Anyone else mentally gearing up to potentially hear back from UofA this week? I wish there was just one day we would find out for sure like the Ontario schools…

To everyone whose UofA portal said pre-screening - 30 minutes ago mine still said pre-screening but just updated to say under review. They're probably going through and updating everyone's bit by bit so keep an eye on it! We're probably so close to hearing back, praying for all of us!

I know someone outside of this thread who also had their portal change to under review, but like another person said, we shouldn't give up hope yet because it might not be indicative of anything! Fingers crossed we'll hear something next week

Same here…fingers crossed for both of us!!

Has anyone else’s UofA portal updated? I wonder if offers will start going out tomorrow…

To speak to this point - I feel like it really depends on the applicant pool in a given year. I have a friend that has gone through the application process 3 times, and the first two times she was waitlisted at multiple schools (one of them being Dal) and then the third time she applied she didn't get waitlisted or accepted anywhere. I don't want to discourage you at all, and wishing for all the best for you this time around! Just sharing an unfortunate reality of how tough this process can be sometimes

Congratulations to you both!! Would you be able to share your stats?
