Does this apply to UBC-V as well?
hopeful_psych Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 School: Guelph Type: CCAP Date of Invite: Jan 22 Type of invite: Either skype or onsite interview Interview date(s): February 1 (or skype interview at another time) POI: PM me shif, brainiac6, Neurophilic and 1 other 4

I (and others here) got sent a general rejection letter ~a week ago from the graduate secretary. My guess is that if you haven't received that e-mail or if the status of your application hasn't changed, you're most likely still in the running and your POI is just taking his/her sweet time haha.
Neurophilic Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I accidentally opened a spam e-mail with the subject "CONGRATS.... you've won" and now they're coming in every 10 minutes. So every 10 minutes I think I'm being invited for an interview or something. ?

aaaaaaaaa Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 If anyone applied to Windsor for neuropsych, you should be getting your interview invites soon. My current supervisor just informed me that I have an interview so I'm assuming the committee has made their decisions on who to shortlist. neocortical.coffee 1

My supervisor there informally hinted at my interview a few weeks back but no updates since. I wonder if they will send a mass email from the secretary?

These canadian universities are getting on my nerves... I don't think it happens often, and I would say never when the POI doesn't know the applicant. Bald Academic 1

ventiamericano Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Question for everyone - is there a difference between the terms "short-list" and "waitlist" or are they used interchangeably? Just got contacted by one of my PIs and they said I was currently waitlisted but would be updated again after the committee meets. So I'm a bit confused to whether they mean I'm in the running to be invited to the open house or if I'm the third (or Xth) option if their other candidates don't work out...

I think typically "short-list" means you are likely to be invited to the open house or a more formal interview, and "waitlist" means that you are a backup option in the event other students decline. I could be mistaken though hopeful_psych 1

I could be mistaken though ^^ That's correct Shortlist means you essentially made it to the next stage, be it interviews/open house/shortlisted for admissions, etc

Do you think it's warranted to contact the grad or prog. coordinator to inquire about interview invitations? Given such the delayed update of our applications to "Under Review". Just notice the posted interview days are for next week Edited January 22, 2019 by s_bellow

Do you know when the results are released? I have heard from some students at OISE that they didn't have an interview last years! Have you heard what the process is at OISE? What a dreadful time to send out a survey!! From my gatherings, everyone admitted to OISE programs will have done an interview (in person or skype) but perhaps there are exceptions! The official e-mail comes from SGS and has the terrifying title of Decision Reached For Your University of Toronto Application and then you follow the link to the SGS site, where is changed from 'Under Review' to 'Decision Made' and then you open a document (heart pounding) and see if it's an offer or a decline.

Neurophilic Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 I just received the itinerary for one of my interview days.. It seems as though I'm meeting graduate students from different labs for a lunch. Should I be familiar with their research as well? Or is this just an opportunity to ask them questions?

calvindude1111 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Hi everyone! I plan on applying for Fall 2020. Although it is great to congratulate each other for getting interviews and being accepted, I think this form would be much more useful if we all shared our stats... That's how law and medical school forms typically work.

Would it be too late at this point?!
