Last year decisions rolled in around December 18th, and the application deadline was October 1st. This year the application deadline was mid-September, which makes me think that 2nd week of December is the most realistic guess Yeah I agree with this. When I said first week of December, I meant that to be first full week of December (so the week that has Monday as Dec 6th). I doubt they would make us wait until the week after (the week that has Monday as Dec 13th) if the deadline to book an interview is mid-Dec (so assuming Dec. 15th?)...but they totally could In any case it should be coming up pretty soon here, time flies.

MadSchool Posted December 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 "Unfortunately, we cannot specify the exact day(s) on which the notifications will be sent". Can someone please explain the reason behind this stupidity? Obviously at this point all results have been finalized. What harm would it cause to tell us the exact date now? It happens every year and this level of bs is beyond my comprehension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be making last minute tweaks, people are stilling having verifiers being contacted this week (and they have until Dec 6th to respond) frenchpress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens every year and this level of bs is beyond my comprehension. They almost certainly have a date in mind, but lots of things can lead to delays. UBC frequently suffers a day or two of closures in December because of icy roads, and this year the province is in a state of emergency with widespread flooding. A smart administrator knows it’s better to be vague than to deal with hundreds of panicking applicants emailing them about a slight delay that occurs because the power goes out or a server goes down or the person who sends the emails is sick or whatever.

nt2324 Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Will be interesting to see if the system encounters errors like it did last year. In 2018 and 2019, rejections were sent on the Monday, early invites Tuesday, regular invites Wednesday iirc - but for 2020 they did early invites and regular invites at the same time and left rejections for the very end, so you were basically holding out hope the whole day and seeing invites roll out before getting your rejection. Everyone who was rejected was also placed into 75-100th percentile for NAQ for about a day before they resolved the issue - my application score also changed after the rejections were sent (interestingly my NAQ was placed in the 50-75th and my application score was revised higher but still not past the cutoff lol). Definitely kinder for the rejections to come out at the beginning so people can get on with the rest of their week. Last year the R's rolled out at the end of the day on Friday.

I believe that last year Early Invites came out Thursday afternoon/evening (maybe some Friday morning) while regular invites came Friday morning to afternoon, and rejections Friday afternoon to evening. So amore compressed timing than previous years with invites sent first. But early applicants still generally heard first (someone correct me if I’m wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
