nwo4life2011 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Just a quick question for those individuals who have received acceptances in years past; What does the body of the email contain? I imagine it starts off along the lines of with "Congratulations, you have been accepted...". I was just curious what the rest of the email talks about (I've been waitlisted in the past, so I'm hoping to receive a different email this time around and I was just trying to mentally prepare for a possible acceptance) Also, I understand that successful applicants receive an email attachment. Does this simply repeat the contents of the original email or does it include additional information? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardHammond Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hey jmatt, Thanks for sharing your email. I noticed the email didn't seem to mention which campus you got accepted to. Is that included in the letter attached to the email or is it a separate email that came shortly after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that included in the letter attached to the email or is it a separate email that came shortly after? Attached offer of admission letter. Last year they had a glitch that caused the attachment to not sent with the initial letter... but I think I got it later that day or early the next morning. At the time, all I really cared about was that I got an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralk Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 It looks like the acceptances are starting to come out! Slightly off topic, but probably best to put here - a question that often comes up is what "Unspecified Campus" means. In past years, London has been more highly requested than Windsor by accepted applicants. Rather than simply put students in Windsor who would prefer London, Schulich says "Unspecified" and as accepted applicants decline their offer, spots open up in London which go to individuals who previous had "Unspecified Campus". In the past, as far as I'm aware, enough people have declined their offers to Schulich that everyone who initially got "Unspecified Campus" ended up in London. Basically, "Unspecified Campus" means London, but Schulich won't make any promises in case there are very few people who decline the offer of acceptance.

Thanks ralk, I was definitely wondering about this. Do you know if it's possible we'd hear back before May 26? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Thanks ralk, I was definitely wondering about this. Do you know if it's possible we'd hear back before May 26? It think rarely that is the case Considering the waitlist movement is usually more than the enrolment at Windsor and proportionally fewer people want Windsor most usually people with an unspecified INITIAL offer do get London if they want in the end. It just flows from the math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What rmorelan said The final campus decision took quite a bit of time from what I remember, 99% sure it was well after the deadline to accept the offer.

Thanks guys! Probably accepting regardless. London is my home, but in any other case, it wouldn't make a big difference to me which campus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowStar Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Anyone have any ideas of whether people on waitlist would get their preferred campus? E.g. if they're initially offered 2nd choice in June, but later on a spot becomes available in their 1st choice in July, will they get switched to their 1st choice (and the next person coming off the waitlist has to go to the other campus)? Hope that wording isn't too confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralk Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Thanks guys! Probably accepting regardless. London is my home, but in any other case, it wouldn't make a big difference to me which campus Windsor is a pretty great campus and their building is awesome - all the Schulich promotional material comes from there because it's nicer to look at! (It may be because their students are nicer to look at too, but I keep telling myself it's the building ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that wording isn't too confusing. I don't believe there is any switching between offers for campuses. Either you're given a specific campus and you can accept it, or you're offered "unspecified" and you'll have to wait to find out which one you get. You wouldn't be given an offer to Windsor and then an offer to London. I honestly forget if they give "Unspecified Campus" offers to those off the waitlist or if they go right for a campus - sorry I can't be more helpful on that front.

nwo4life2011 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Thanks everyone for replying to the topic. After several years of being on the waitlist, I was finally accepted to Schulich and I couldn't be happier. Just a quick followup question for those who received a offer of admission letter. Does anyone feel their letter is a little "light" on information? I feel like I'm missing a page or two. How many pages were all your letters? I just want to make sure that there hasn't been a technical error with my application. In all likelihood, I'm just being paranoid and hoping nothing has gone wrong at this point. It's been a long time coming for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's tons of forms there Also just wanted to say: I LOVE that they put "good news!" in the email head. Made my day for the interview invite, and once again made my day for the acceptance.

Scholarship info didn't come until much later last year (well after classes had already begun, I got regrets on my Schulich Scholarship application 11/24/2014, granted I did get another lesser funding offer). Maybe they'll handle it differently this year, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
