Congratulations mate! Was it an email? Were you assigned a supervisor with the acceptance?

Anyone's got an idea how big the last rejection batch was at Waterloo?

I only see 2 rejects, but someone said it was a mass one. 

Well anyone here who can tell what does it means when a professor, who took interview more than a month ago, suddenly removes from skype? :(

It was significant, if not a mass one. I personally knew a couple of folks who got rejected. They didn't post on results section though, that's why there are only 2 rejects there.

Oh boy...That doesn't sound very positive. But it might be because he won't need to call you on Skype anymore coz he'll have you in his lab soon ??

31st March is tonight for McGill. Let's see if they keep their word of sending all CS decisions by March end or they postpone it (again for the second time).

McGill sending CS decisions, two of my friends got rejected.

Do they notify via email?

 

Yup. They also send an auto-generated rejection letter in pdf form. However they don't mention any reason besides the usual "too many good applications for too few spots" and such.

Thanks. Are there also any acceptances? My status still says submitted.

None that I know of. Mine says Submitted as well... All people I know got rejected.  

Alright. Then let's keep hanging on for the time being.

Fingers crossed. They did keep their word of sending decisions by March end. But most seem to be rejections until now. Hope acceptances come later in the day. (It's night here so I'm going to kiss my sleep goodbye and stay glued to my screen all night).

I know I'm somewhat gonna start getting branded devils advocate here, but this is almost certainly a reject.  

If a professor has decided to accept you, you won't need to ask here, you'll know for sure.  They're busy people so avoid ambiguity when they wanna admit a candidate. If you feel uncertain, it's cos they haven't decided to accept you.  

Everyone who I know that got backed by a professor, the professor in question was very direct.
