According to the results page, a bunch of people were accepted on March 9th last year. It seems they make calls over the course of a few days, usually around the 10th or so, so perhaps they're going to start next week. Who knows though!
linguistics_grad Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) I've been checking the results, my uApply, and my email like a fiend. Nooo signs of anything from McGill yet. I feel like I've been waiting for an eternity! Their website says mid-March, so surely it should be soon? Maybe next week? Monday seems like a pretty normal time to decide a student's fate, yes? Love & luck to all! Edited March 10, 2017 by linguistics_grad

I'm worried they're going to send out the acceptances and I'll be forever wondering if I didn't get in because they didn't get these stupid scores... =_= They lost mine too! I've sent them twice as well. They asked for my unofficial scores so I had to send them a screen-shotted photo of the GRE-ETS website page.

They told me they didn't have my GRE scores a couple of weeks ago, so I re-sent them and still haven't heard anything back from the department. I'm wondering if I should send them an email to make sure they actually did receive them this time. I'm not really a fan of the Dal application to be honest. It seems really disorganized with some things needing to be sent in the mail and others not.

It seems really disorganized with some things needing to be sent in the mail and others not. It sounds like more than a few of us had our GRE scores lost. You know, I was worried about this when I was paying for them to send the scores on the ETS site. My friend did it too the same as I did and hers arrived, so I don't know how they managed to lose so many of ours. But when you fill out the section of where to send the score reports, you can't really see the address or anything, right? It just has the school name and code 0620 or whatever the heck it was. So I was worried it might go to an old address (to a different department) or something. I actually phoned ETS and tried to find out the address they were sending it to and they couldn't tell me. They were like "we don't use addresses" and I was like "how do you not have an address? surely it's there somewhere. How does the mail go out??". In the end she wouldn't/couldn't tell me and I just had to hope that the second time would work.

I think I posted this somewhere earlier in the thread, but Dal actually did have an address change to their department this year. I sent all of my application (online and mail) relatively quickly because I wanted to have it finished. Sadly, after I had submitted all of my documents, I noticed that the address on their department website was no longer the same. I was pretty upset at this because nowhere on the website did it state that there was going to be a change of address. Fortunately they were able to track all of my documents down. If anyone is concerned about whether their documents have actually arrived, I would definitely suggest emailing the department. Even though there was some confusion in my application, Mark in the admissions office was extremely helpful in getting everything sorted out! @slpbee I agree with you! In comparison to all of the other schools, the Dalhousie application process seems very unorganized. I think it would be great if they could switch to a completely online system, though I'm sure that's much easier said than done.

From the results page of previous years it seems most people got notifications by email and WAY earlier so I'm not sure why the change this year :/

I'm trying to figure out if they will post "yes or no" on there first before we receive the notifications in the mail.

My guess is they'll make calls next wed-fri, but I hope it's sooner.

Something's up with my login ID & password so I need to call the registrar to reset it but I forgot about the time difference and will have to wait until Monday.

That written notification will follow. During the process they were really slow updating the online thing though. I wonder if they would even update it? I have a feeling they'll send out emails or actual snail mail :/ Considering it's not my first choice anyway because of the extra year, I don't think it matters much. If you get accepted elsewhere, accept it. If Dal comes along a month later and offers you something, it probably won't matter if you already have some other school lined up. If you don't get accepted anywhere, and then Dal comes along like the hero of a story just in the nick of time to rescue you from despair, then all is well lol

They sent me an email on March 17th last year that I was on the waitlist and ended up scanning and attaching my letter to the email.
princesst Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Has anyone received an email acknowledging their application to the university of toronto yet?
SpeechPathWannabe Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Has anyone received a response from McGill yet??
toward the ocean Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Hi. Has anyone heard back from UVic or USask regarding admission?

SLPlease? Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 I know that @mizuro has heard back from U of A, but has anyone else heard from any of the schools with offers of admission? I feel like it's safe to assume that if I haven't heard from U of A at this point I likely didn't make the cut.

I know that Western, Toronto and McMaster you won't hear from until the end of the month, and McGill will be sometime this week. Don't give up hope!

theyaaz Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 @SLPlease? Mizuro got the awesome recruitment scholarship to U of A, but as far as I know no other offers have been given out yet. I'm also waiting to hear back from U of A. I've been asking around and checking all the info I've got, but there is still hope! Last year they started giving out the rest of the offers around March 16-18 it looks like. So hopefully we'll hear something soon! SLPlease? 1
