Jumbo3 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 just out of curiosity: do you think grad schools' decisions can be influenced by whether the applicant has completed their undergrad degree at their school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That heavily depends on the school I think. One of my profs this morning mentioned that UBC is looking to be fully in-person this September. U of A is still holding out until April to make a decision. I read McGill's website out of curiosity and it looks like they're trying to push for mostly in-person with the large lecture hall classes still being remote. Given that all the provinces seem to be at different paces in regards to vaccine distribution, the fact that it varies so much between schools and lots of it is still up in the air isn't surprising to me.

I received an email from U of L today that their courses are going to be online. I thought this was very early to announce this, and given the small cohort size I was quite surprised (and sad to hear this). I'm curious how other programs will approach this.

I'm curious how other programs will approach this or whether U of L is going to be an odd one out while the rest are in-person. Yeah, that is super early. Honestly U of L probably did that in light of Alberta's current ban on indoor gatherings (with few exceptions). Kind of odd that U of L decided so fast meanwhile U of A is still waiting and they're a much larger school... Edge98 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CateFace Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I'm registered at UCalgary and the schedule was released and each of my courses have a designated room so I'm assuming will end up in person? Who knows, I know things are subject to change fast and it is easier to make the arrangement plans for in person and make sure the rooms required are available and switch to zoom if need be.

I'm currently a U of A student and that was the case for our fall/winter courses but things switched to remote. I think that's in the event they do decide to go forward with in person classes but of course there is no guarantee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlrogersfan98 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 McGill applicants - if you used the communication tool in uApply, do you get an email when you've received a response or do you need to keep checking the portal? I asked a question and I log into uApply like 5 times a day to check but if I'm just going to get an email notifying me they answered I might as well stop lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
april21 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Has anyone heard back about an interview at SFU? Should I assume I didn't get an interview at this point? Any updates on UBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any updates on UBC? I'm pretty sure SFU hasn't sent out interview invites yet, and UBC hasn't sent out offers. My understanding is both universities typically do so in mid-March so we should expect to hear back soon. april21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied a few years back and was rejected March 11, so I was curious whether interview invites would go out earlier. counspsycapp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been soooo antsy. Thank you!! Ahhh I’m not sure. I’m going for the thesis based route and there is a professor at ubc whose research interests are more closely aligned with mine so it’s likely I will accept the offer.

snickerdoodle Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Congratulations @counspsycapp!! @Jumbo3I haven't heard from UBC yet, though I applied to the M.Ed program.
