Hi, does anyone know what happens if one of your references is not submitted by the deadline date? For my uOttawa MPH application due Feb 28th, I have literally everything checked off expect for one of my references is not uploaded, that is why it still says my application is incomplete. I have emailed that professor numerous times over the last month and not received a reply so it's really frustrating. They were also pretty slow at uploading my other letters for my other applications too, so I guess this was expected. Does anyone know what I should do? How many times should I keep emailing him? Will my application not be looked at? Thanks! 

If your professor hasn't gotten back to the emails you've sent him, I think it might be a good idea to get someone else to upload a letter for you if that is possible. This person doesn't necessarily have to be a prof. Imo, if the deadline passes and your referee hasn't uploaded your letter, then the admissions committee may not look at it as it would be considered incomplete. This is a really frustrating situation, but I really hope something works out for you

I agree - definitely try to get anyone else to submit the letter if you can. Also, follow up with the admin office to ease your worrying; unless it is a required academic reference to meet admission requirements, then I think it might be case dependant on whether they check your profile or not.

i've been kind of obsessed with this lol but for McGill, it seems like in the previous years the latest people got acceptances was the beginning of March so i feel like if we don't get news this week, it's most likely bad news unfortunately

I had the same thought in mind regarding getting bad news in the coming weeks from McGill  Trying to stay hopeful that I get at least one acceptance but let's see ?

Hey!

I applied of UofA Global Health and Epidemiology and I cant take the suspense anymore :// I assumed decisions would be out February-ish and then i'd have time to find another option if I was rejected. But here we are and I still don't know if i'm moving across the country in a couple months or not ?  

Interested to hear other applicants and if you guys have any idea of time approx. timeframe we will find out. Good luck!!

Were you able to get this sorted out?

I'm actually losing my mind waiting for a response from UAlberta and SFU

Has anyone applied to the MSc program at UBC SPPH? Any idea when they'd get back to us regarding decisions? 

[corgi321]

Does anyone know when Brock usually starts sending out acceptances?

Nope and I'm getting more and more frustrated by the minute. Literally spent my whole day at work today emailing back and forth with uOttawa's graduate admissions department. Since a new person kept responding to my emails, I kept getting different advice. What's frustrating me is they keep saying I have to figure this out on my own by getting another referee or else they will not look at an incomplete application due to their competition. It's like if I had another referee you don't think I would've used them by now?! And what professor is willing to write a letter on such short notice anyways. I was disheartened that they replied like this and honestly don't have any hope for myself now lol. Don't understand what happened to my prof but he just cost me a $125 fee. At this point I'm just telling myself I wouldn't have got in anyways so what's the point.

Did anyone hear back from UofT, Mcmaster or Queens yet?

That's a really tough situation to be in. Have you exhausted all of your options (ie., try emailing/calling all of your previous profs you don't think would say yes, explain your situation. I think they will be willing to help?)

All the best!

Edit: also, if it helps, I managed to get a letter from a prof within 12 hours. I emailed him the night before and he submitted it the next morning. I don't know how good that letter was lol but it got the job done.

Does your McMaster show 'complete' or 'incomplete' on the top of the application? Mine still says incomplete so i guess i gotta wait

I know someone who is in the program now. They told me they heard back on March 6 and their friend heard back a day or two before- This was in 2019. So it might be this week.

Yeah I’ve been hardcore creeping the acceptance dates on the forum from previous years. We should hear soon!
