I applied to Concordia but their website is very vague about it and so was the email I received after applying. I think anywhere from Mid-end of February up until late March probably. Will depend on the school. You could probably reach out to the graduate chair at Concordia and inquire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fortunate to have graduated in November, but the flip side is that I’m an unemployed graduate who is struggling to even get a temp job ha. I’m wishing you both, and anyone else in uni right now, best of luck! ovejal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went into my MA right after my BA, and now finishing up my MA while applying to PhDs. I feel pretty young too. Lol. Also have major imposter syndrome... If it makes any of you feel better, I returned to school after 10 years in the workforce. Its just as weird feeling when you're "older" and the imposter syndrome is super real. Everyone else your age are already professors, and your cohort is 10 years younger so you don't quite fit there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indeed Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I started feeling like I shouldn't have joined this forum and checked the results of previous cycles. As it's the last Friday of January, I am refreshing my e-mail account like crazy. I hope Berkeley, Princeton and Emory release their results today...

If you're using Chrome, I recommend checking out these extensions: StayFocused | BlockSite I would also set your phone on Do Not Disturb and uninstall the email app so as to not hear any notifications. We have absolutely no way of knowing when results will be released as applicants, so remove any stress sources for today if you have to do so.

Yes it was, I was (and I am still are) quite shocked by how fast things proceeded. Especially when considering that I haven't heard anything from the other universities I applied to (for results or interviews). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the fastest sadness for me LoL I wasnt called for an interview so I will probably be rejected soon, and I feel like I wont get any admission because I did not get into Albany. It was the last one I applied in terms of rankings AHD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
