Volition Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Also yesterday I left the McGill PS department a message pleading to them to take a look at my application in absence of the GRE -- up to that point my application status remained frozen as 'submitted' and never 'under review'. Well anyways, they responded by giving me a rejection letter today... Hey at least I tried ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boruchan93 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 @Volition I checked the portal and it said not admitted. No letter or anything. I specialize in Comparative and IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask if your status has been also updated on the portal? Thank you! Looking forward to having all offers/rejections in so that I can make a decision. Status still says "under review" on the portal but I got an e-mail yesterday saying the application was successful and they'll send the official letter soon.

So sorry to hear Don't lose heart though. There are lots of excellent programs you're waiting to hear from. Sometimes it's just about that "fit" and you never know which program you might be a great candidate for. Sending lots of good wishes you way! boruchan93 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine also still says "in review" and I didn't receive any news so I'm going to count it as a rejection (at least for now). Fit wasn't really great though.

boruchan93 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Just received a general e-mail from Alberta. Apparently they received 108 application (MA and PhD combined) and their new application system is glitchy which makes it hard for them to process the data. Mail said that their committee will meet first week of March and they will start inviting people for Skype interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Dreamer_ Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Has anyone contacted UBC lately? They said they should get back to us late Feb/early March so I would guess that we should expect some news next week. Also, I talked to UofT and they said that successful applicants will be contacted early March so that's probably in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't contacted UBC so thanks for getting in touch with them and U of T as well. I'm waiting to hear from both of them too! Fingers crossed.

I know!!! Definitely the most generous out of the other ones! I wasn't expecting it to be that much but it's great for prospective students I guess.
