    CanPlan got a reaction from anxiousraj in Planning Admissions 2021: Discussion Thread   
    I just got this email (the Head of my department forwarded it very late at night). If anyone else is wondering, it sounds like UBC (as a whole) is pushing for some sort of in-person arrangement, but all options are still on the table. They will make a final announcement in May. 
    The two possible options they list are 100% return to in-person teaching, or allowing small classes to return in classrooms 3x the size of the class. In the latter, large classes will still be online. 
    It's definitely possible that the planning program will meet in person, as the classes are small and can be scheduled into large teaching spaces.

    Accepted from the UBC wait list! I accepted another offer already, but I'll be awkwardly forfeiting that deposit. 
    edit: I'm not on social media so I won't be joining any of the groups for incoming students. However, I've lived in Vancouver for 6 years and immigrated to Canada from the US. If anyone has questions about the city or moving across borders, definitely reach out!

    If you received a better offer (financially speaking) elsewhere, it is best to approach UofT with that information and more details about your circumstances. 
    Note that I am not speaking from experience, but this was recommended to me by a professor. 
    You've got nothing to lose by asking, so go for it!

    Not sure if it will be the same, but my other offer from SFU asked for a response within 21 days.

    I guess I just had to be patient, because my offer came through a few minutes ago. I appreciate it wasn't an automated email as they actually mentioned many of the specifics from my application (but spelled my name wrong). 
     
    Or maybe we all blew it and that's why we aren't hearing back haha

    I haven't received anything, but that's OK since I'll be declining this one anyways (if an offer comes through). It will be the MRM planning program at SFU or SCARP for me. Still waiting for SCARP.

    I haven't done this myself. However, a faculty member recommended that it is possible if another school offered me more money. So, you can go to UNC and say "this other school offered me $$$ more than you, is there anything we can do to close that gap? UNC is my preferred program, but it may not work financially."
