SmallBean Posted March 3, 2020 Author Posted March 3, 2020 @TenH Thanks for joining the discussion and congratulations on Queen's! When did you submit your applications & receive your offer? I'm still waiting on mine but I did submit a little closer to the deadline. Do you mind if I enquire about your stats? feel free to DM if you prefer ? @kchen So wonderful to hear about your acceptance to UofT, congratulations! ?

TenH Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 @SmallBean My application was fully submitted last Tuesday and I got my offer Thursday. I have about a 93% average my last two semesters, 86% cumulative for all 4 years. Happy to answer any questions! SmallBean 1
SmallBean Posted March 4, 2020 Author Posted March 4, 2020 @TenH thank you for sharing! I'm a bit worried about my cumulative GPA - I'm wondering, did you have any professional experience in IR/HR, and what was your undergraduate major?
TenH Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 @SmallBean Queens is very accepting of any major!! On the webcall I joined in on in the fall they had a drama undergrad who had joined the program. my degree is in Family and Community Social Services. How about you? No professional experience just some volunteer (remote though/web based) HR assistant work!
SmallBean Posted March 4, 2020 Author Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) @TenH I'm relieved to hear that! My major was in Psychology. I'm surprised at the fast turnover between your application submission date and acceptance date. I'm sure your application was very outstanding! I will be on the lookout for an e-mail hopefully soon, my application was fully submitted on Friday, fingers crossed! ? Edited March 4, 2020 by SmallBean
TenH Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 @SmallBean Thank you!! Im super surprised too - confused even! Its all just a little overwhelming though, having a date to reply by for queens, yet waiting on uoft, and waiting on ogs results for both
SmallBean Posted March 4, 2020 Author Posted March 4, 2020 @TenH I can imagine, how long did Queen's give you?
TenH Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 @SmallBean Until July! More worried about ogs results since thats a big factor in my choice
SmallBean Posted March 4, 2020 Author Posted March 4, 2020 @TenH did Queen's provide any funding? I'm checking my emails neurotically you guys, I might unplug for a bit and check again in 2 weeks...too much stress!
TenH Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 @SmallBean just a small amount (which also makes it more confusing why I heard back quickly). I totally understand the feeling. Im refreshing over and over especially knowing offers have begun to go out for uoft
allyvs132 Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Same here @TenH and @SmallBean!! I'm sweating bullets and checking my email every two seconds! We'll get through this!!!
SmallBean Posted March 4, 2020 Author Posted March 4, 2020 @TenH @allyvs132 we're in this together ✊ allyvs132 1
SmallBean Posted March 6, 2020 Author Posted March 6, 2020 @TenH I think I just got into Queen's... the email says "recommended for admission" was this the same one you got?
TenH Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 @SmallBean Congrats! Yes I got one of those emails - and then once the school of graduate studies approves you its official and you get a second email SmallBean 1
SmallBean Posted March 6, 2020 Author Posted March 6, 2020 @TenH Thank you!! Did you receive the second email already?
TenH Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) @SmallBean Yes! They are usually pretty quick at reviewing the department recommendations from what I remember people saying in the past Edited March 6, 2020 by TenH
TenH Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 @SmallBean who knows? We could end up being classmates!
SmallBean Posted March 7, 2020 Author Posted March 7, 2020 @TenH ahh okay so I'm 50% closer to an acceptance than I was before, I'm pretty relieved! Hopefully I'll get the official results by Monday or Tuesday then I can really celebrate! We very well might be classmates :]
SmallBean Posted March 7, 2020 Author Posted March 7, 2020 @TenH that's awesome, can't wait for the official email
TenH Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 @SmallBean were they able to offer you ogs or any funding?
SmallBean Posted March 7, 2020 Author Posted March 7, 2020 @TenH I actually didn't know about OGS until you mentioned it here earlier and I looked it up - I haven't applied for it. Queen's is granting 1k
TenH Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 @SmallBean Hoping more people join this thread so we can keep tabs on the uoft side of things
SmallBean Posted March 7, 2020 Author Posted March 7, 2020 @TenH agree! my application is still under review. Did you apply to advanced standing or two year stream?
