SocialCommSLP Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Just firmly accepted my Mac offer! A spot at Western should open up soon for those waiting I won't be formally rejecting my Dal offer (just going to let it go past the Apr 15 deadline) so there will also be a spot soon! If anyone is starting any Mac gc's pls let me know! Jim VK 1
kt_tje Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Also, one more quick question about Dalhousie: people on here are talking about letters being sent in through a graduation portal, but I don’t recall ever creating a graduation portal account for my application. I emailed all of my forms to their admission team. Where did people receive their official letters?
tothepowerof10 Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Hi, is there anyone currently in the McMaster program? I'm trying to narrow down my choices and I would really love to hear from others!
BrocasArea Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Hi all, I have just firmly accepted my offer to Western, so a spot on McGill's waitlist will open up! I am not sure if other schools do this but if you have the chance to visit a school you may be considering before accepting, I 100% would! I've just toured Western today and learned some interesting things about Western's program as well as cool opportunities that I would have never known about previously!
slptobeeeeeeeee Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Hi, if someone is currently in the UofA program, can you please PM me? Thank you!!
55slp Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Hello, for those who have accepted their offer from the U of A, has anyone received their official offer letter through the grad portal yet after hearing back from the academic advisor? Thanks!

BerrySpeechie Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Hi everyone! I decided to start a UofT FB group. I think my previous post got flagged for including the link, so if it doesn’t come back up, feel free to PM me for the invite link

Thanks! My official offer letter hasn't shown up yet, but I think it's because they said they can't process my acceptance until they receive my final transcripts to confirm I have graduated since I'm finishing my last semester of my undergrad right now. So I'm guessing mine will show up once I get my final grades for the semester and send them my transcripts

It’s the same site you would have used for the first part of the process where you would pay the application fee.

I still haven’t received an email from them for any reason other than giving me my student identification code quite a while ago 😬 I’m hoping they let me know soon, as they’re my best shot at getting in imo especially due to me being able to apply to the thesis option which I wasn’t able to do for UofA.

I would definitely email them and reach out! Make sure check your junk mail as well. Use this link to log in and see if there’s any update: https://dalonline.dal.ca/PROD/bwskasta.P_DispStatusSaradap?appno=3 My status says “Offer accepted, deposit received”

It also says that they’re awaiting outstanding work which they never notified me about, which can’t be good. Should I be emailing them?

I contacted them (after emailing for weeks- they’re hard to contact) and they said they received all my documents even though the portal says they didn’t. As far as I understand they’re still releasing admission decisions in the coming weeks. I only know a handful of people received acceptances in March. I’d say if we don’t hear any waitlist or rejections in the next couple weeks then we can be more concerned, but for now I’m waiting it out!!

I panicked for a second but this put me at ease. I may still email them just to clarify that they have all of their stuff, as I know they had technical issues right before the application deadline. Do you know if the April 15th deadline applies to Dalhousie then if they’re releasing decisions in the coming weeks?

speechy22 Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Hi!! For anyone has been accepted to UOttawa, just wondering if it takes time to process your response to the offer. Also, is there a fee to pay as soon as you accept the offer?

I saw lots of applicants saying the same. Mine said that up until a decision was made.

Do you know if that’s something I should be worried about?
