Just got my letter in Georgia. I was rejected with a score of 14.2/30. It was my first time applying. I'm a direct-entry PhD student, so I just graduated from undergrad in June 2012. I figured it was a long shot but was hoping! My letter was postmarked May 1st and there were 2 pages in the envelope. My stats at the time I applied: - 3.91 undergraduate GPA (no graduate grades at the time of application) - Internal funding from my university, some scholarships from undergrad - A few awards for my honours thesis - 1 first author peer reviewed publication - 4 international conference presentations - 4 RA positions, no TA - 1 technical report - Research proposal was okay, but could probably have been improved upon in hindsight - I assume strong references Best of luck to everyone else who has yet to hear, and congratulations to those who were successful this year.

I'm not sure if the Michael Smith Foreign Study Supplement form means anything, but I can confirm that it wasn't there when I checked my application yesterday (so fingers crossed!)

I've accepted an offer from the University of Georgia. I have notified the schools I was still waiting to hear back from, so hopefully a spot will open up for someone else! Good luck to everyone! Applied: North Carolina State University, UCLA (Management), Berkeley (Management) Accepted: University of Georgia, University of Guelph Waitlisted: UNC Charlotte (invited to recruitment day March 30th), George Mason University Rejected: University of Chicago Booth (Joint PhD), University of South Florida, University of Central Florida, Georgia Tech
