NeuroLim3 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Anyone know if the summary of the proposal for CGSM application is like an abstract? I'm a little confused about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 For anybody that applied to UCalgary, did you get or not get confirmation emails when your references submitted their letters? One of my referees told me that she submitted her letter, but I didn't get any confirmation email about. This is because last time I applied, I got confirmation emails when letters were submitted.

janelove Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hi everyone! Hope everything is going well as deadlines loom closer. I was wondering if it is common to include references (as footnotes) in statements of interest? I have not because I have referred to potential supervisors' research more generally, but wondering if I should add some in. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okayidk Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hi, I have 2 quick questions and would appreciate any help! 1. For anyone who has started/completed their application to York: when I input my education history it asks me "Did you graduate?" - do I answer yes or no to this? I'm currently in the process of completing my degree and expect to graduate in May. If I put "No", does that imply that I didn't complete my degree? 2. For anyone applying to McGill, do you know if they accept official transcripts sent digitally directly from the academic institution? I requested a physical copy of my transcript so I could scan and upload it, but it hasn't arrived yet and i'm honestly not sure when it will due to mail delays (so I'm stressed given the upcoming application deadline). UBC said they would accept transcripts this way but I couldn't find any information on McGill's website about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egyptianintoronto Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hey everyone! I am a little worried about my McMaster application and was wondering if anyone could offer some advice. I applied through a new email account and it says that my application has been submitted; however, I have not received instructions on accessing the account to monitor the status of my application, and my referees have also not received their reference links. Is anyone facing a similar issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBC said they would accept transcripts this way but I couldn't find any information on McGill's website about this Unofficial transcripts are fine for McGill counselling app, not sure for clinical. I would contact the grad coordinator as I know lots of programs are more lenient about official transcripts this year due to covid and mail delays, as you said. I didn't apply to York but I would just say not complete if I were you. Lots of people apply to grad school while in the last year of their undergrad, schools know this and just want to see that you'll graduate in time (they can see on the transcript) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsmith Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Is anyone else's references having trouble with the CGS application portal?

okayidk Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Hi!

LMoll Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 For anyone applying to UCalgary: Are you writing a proposal specifically geared towards your desired PI? I wanted to revise my CGS-M proposal and upload that, but I am leaning towards writing a new, more specific one. Even though my CGS-M proposal relates to my desired field of research, it's more social than my PI's research. What is everyone else doing?

I don't think I have it in me to write another one, haha! But I did gear my proposal to be in line with the supervisor I want to work with at UCalgary.

You can modify your CGS-M if it can align with the professor you'd like to work with. But your overall proposal should be in line with their work and what you want to do during your graduate studies.
