chloem Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) Looking for advice as I am in a bit of a weird situation. I am currently doing a master's degree abroad, which I am on track to finish by the end of July. The university that I am at only does graduation ceremonies in the fall (I think mine is in November). I received a conditional offer from McGill which says that I need to provide official transcript and proof of graduation, however these won't be available until after the fall semester at McGill has already begun. I have written to the admin people already but was wondering if anyone has been in this type of situation before? I really don't want to lose my spot but worry that it's out of my hands.

Thank you I also got accepted to Ottawa, but I'm leaning more towards going to Laval. I haven't heard of anything about a group chat for the new cohort, so I dont think anyone has made one yet.

Hi, I’m in a similar situation where I don’t finish classes until August 2nd because my program has a built in 1000 hour internship. I had emailed each place I wanted to apply back in the fall to confirm that they allowed a graduation date after the masters had started. U of A, Dalhousie, and Western said it was okay and I would just need a letter confirming that I’m done my course work by August 31st. McMaster said that I would have to apply the next year. So I would say that chances are that it will be okay as long as you get a letter saying you will be done, but I didn’t apply to McGill, so check with them. Also, on ORPAS McMaster stated that they required a graduation date before June 30th, 2024, so if McGill doesn’t have it stated on their application site then you will probably be fine.

SocialCommSLP Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 McMaster's Cognitive Science of Language MSc program is still accepting domestic student applications! More info: The program is a two-year thesis program. Students with linguistics, cognitive science of language, cognitive science, or psychology degrees usually have a good preparation for our program. From your master’s, you can continue to a clinical program, many different kinds of management and analyst jobs, or a PhD program. The deadline for guaranteed consideration has passed, but we still welcome good students with the right background. More information under the link below: https://gs.mcmaster.ca/program/cognitive-science-of-language/ https://linguistics.humanities.mcmaster.ca/graduate-programs/msc-cognitive-science-of-language/ Possible supervisor research profiles can be found behind this link: https://arieal.humanities.mcmaster.ca/about-us/laboratories/ NOTE: Dr. Daniel Pape is away on research leave July 2024-July 2025 so is not accepting students/ NOTE: Not all professors under ARiEAL can supervise MSc CogSci students.
