Pepper Potts Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) I have applied to UoT for MASc in Materials Science and Engineering. I am an international applicant from India. I know that I meet the eligibility criteria for the program, however, I am apprehensive about what my chances would be of making it through. My profile in brief: Applied for: Materials Science and engineering UG: B.E.(Hons.) Chemical Engineering with thesis University: BITS-Pilani TOEFL: 114/120 GPA: 8.29/10 (cumulative) and major GPA: 9/10( last sem thesis) 2 semester projects in Materials Science Thesis on 1-dimensional nanostructures Summer Internship at TATA Steel, Jamshedpur, India Relevant Courses studied : Structure and Properties of Matter, Introduction to Nanotechnology, Thermodynamics, Solid-State Physics, Kinetics, Quantum Mechanics. Research focus: Nanomaterials for Energy applications 1 poster presentation in International Conference 1 oral presentation in International Conference 1 poster presentation in a national colloquium More of my research can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/mynanodomain I know its tough to predict the exact decision. But I want to know, what does my profile look like, good enough to make it through? Is it wise to consider it a safe option? Edited May 5, 2013 by Pepper Potts Pepper Potts 1
Gingersnaps Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Hello, Got an email last week from Ryerson to tell me they had considered my app and will make a decision soon. Has anyone who has applied to Ryerson got similar email? Is it being wait listed ? Wish I could have a decision soon just so I can move on and put on action plan B of need be.

Gingersnaps Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Got the news…did not make it in this year. Congrats to those who made it. Now looking forward to applying for next fall and trying to figure out what the weaknesses were in application.
FacelessMage Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Got a surprise acceptance from Carleton's psychology MA program after being previously waitlisted and rejected! So stoked! MSW13 1
MSW13 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Congratulations!!! Got a surprise acceptance from Carleton's psychology MA program after being previously waitlisted and rejected! So stoked!
MikKar Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Got a surprise acceptance from Carleton's psychology MA program after being previously waitlisted and rejected! So stoked! Ha, I've seen everything now. So, they threw your application out and realized their mistake and took you in ? Jeez, I'd love that to happen for me
MikKar Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Nice way to start the weekend : UBC's FGS just emailed me that I was accepted in the MASc program in ECE (to start in January). Chuffed to bits The wait was absolutely mind-killing though. Still pretty painful but at least it showed that the time I spent on my SOP and selecting the right people for my LORs wasn't in vain. sdt13, surefire and MSW13 3
CharlieRae Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 It's amazing how deadlines vary within schools, but program to program! My UVic application isn't due until Feb 15, but the application status has already changed from "Submitted" to "App forwarded for review" to "App forwarded: Interim Review". It's driving me nuts! Hey! My Uvic app just changed to App forwarded: Interim Review. I'm curious what that actually means, as compared to app forwarded for review?
CharlieRae Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Also. I was perusing this topic, and I have ridiculous anxiety now. Very unfortunate. Congrats to those of you who made it where/when you wanted, and best of luck to those continuing to pursue school. MSW13 1
reinhard Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Has anyone applied to McMasters Mathematics program? I've sent my transcripts like a month ago and they still hasn't been updated yet. I am a little worried. How long does it usually take for transcripts to arrive from a different province ?

I am a little worried. How long does it usually take for transcripts to arrive from a different province ? I cannot speak to McMasters, nor their math program, but from my personal experience, it takes a long time for schools to collect/organize the application requirements sent from other places. I also sent my transcripts just over a month ago, and out of the four schools I applied to, only 1 has stated they have received it. I would just double check if they require official transcripts by the deadline, or if an uploaded copy will suffice until the original arrives. CharlieRae 1
LastGradStanding Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Just checked my status and saw that I was denied. The least they could have done was send me an email telling me to check my status or an outright rejection email. Edited November 25, 2013 by LastGradStanding
reinhard Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Just checked my status and saw that I was denied. The least they could have done was send me an email telling me to check my status or an outright rejection email. Which university was this?
LastGradStanding Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Which university was this? Waterloo
reinhard Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Waterloo They made a decision already? It isn't even the dead line yet
LastGradStanding Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 They made a decision already? It isn't even the dead line yet It was for May.
newpollution Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Any NPSIA Fall 2014 applicants in here?
reinhard Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 OKay so one of my transcripts finally arrived, but strangely I sent both of my transcripts to the school and only one of them got received...
TP24 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 It's amazing how deadlines vary within schools, but program to program! My UVic application isn't due until Feb 15, but the application status has already changed from "Submitted" to "App forwarded for review" to "App forwarded: Interim Review". It's driving me nuts! I got an interim review too. What do you think this is supposed to mean?
scottdickson86 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I got an interim review too. What do you think this is supposed to mean? I think it means your application is on its first round of review. Interim reviews probably just check technicalities, like whether or not your GPA and/or GRE scores are above what the minimum set by the department. Good luck! TP24 1
