congrats!

 

 

So I am guessing the letters were either mailed out yesterday or today?

 

hummm, thats cutting it very close to the weekend for letters to arrive for the rest of the maritime people (not in NS)

[Lesleybean]

I got my acceptance letter in the mail today by 1:30 PM!

 

Came to my permanent mailing address in Halifax.

Congrats Lesley bean! Is Dal your first choice?

Not first choice, no. I want to go out of province...

 

Still anxiously awaiting May 15th!

Where OOP would you like to go?

[Lesleybean]

I'm waiting to hear from Mac, Queen's, and U of C.

 

My top two are either of the Ontario schools.

Congrats Lesley,

 

I am curious, both queens and mac have a contrasting curriculum (more lecture based learning compared to more PBL), is there any particular reason you would choose both of those over dal, which might have a better mix of the two types of learning style?

What about Western? I just peered at your stats over in the accepted thread... and you should have had a guaranteed interview there?

 

I certainly envy your position at the moment.... accepted and waiting for more!

 

Congratulations

Congratulations

 

 

I did a 5 year undergrad degree, and my courses were all out of order in terms of course level:year of degree level. Ultimately (after a lot of communication with the Western Admin office), it was determined that any application of mine to Western would have been invalid. So I didn't even apply...

I'm ashamed to say it has little to do with curriculum. I agree that Dal has a good blend of didactic/PBL. However, I've done my undergraduate at Dalhousie, and my entire elementary-high school was completed across the street from Dal. I just need a break from the campus and Halifax. And Calgary is a BIT too far away. So, purely location wise, I'm hoping for an Ontario school.

Ah, dont feel ashamed, i was just curious, as i am vaguely in somewhat of a similar situation as you... gotta see what happens in 37hours

Has anyone received news today? I'm getting an ulcer just thinking about it.

Hi guys,

 

Stalked the postman this morning and got my acceptance letter!!! I'm going to post my stats in the accepted/waitlisted/rejected thread, but am a NS resident.

 

It was a normal stamped envelope. I am guessing that they send the NS ones with a stamp and maybe the OOP and other maritimes express so they get there by Friday?

 

My letter is dated May 11.

 

Yayayayaayayay!!!

 

Good luck to everyone else

[annapolis]

Congrats, whale.of.a.time, that's awesome!

 

Your stats look similar to mine, and I'm hoping to God that my third Dal application will be a charm. If not, I can't guarantee that I won't do something insane with my rejection letter. Like eat it.

[Belisarius]

Thought this was the occasion to finally stop lurking and register.

 

Received my acceptance letter from Dal this morning!

 

I'm in NS outside of Halifax.

[xi88]

alright thats it. I'm leaving work to go home to check the mail. It's not like I'm would be doing much work today anyway..I'm definately not worth my salary today

[patrick83]

I'm beginning to think that only acceptances were sent out? That or no rejections are willing to post.. can't believe I'm stuck at work alll day.

I dont think anyone wants to be the first to post a rejection. But once someone posts, more will come.

 

It is possible that only acceptances were sent (interview invites were sent ahead of non-invites), but the website does say that all notices will be sent on the 15th...but since its not yet the 15th, this is all speculation

[sjcisme]

Im thinking also if you live in a rural area this might be coming into play. So far has everyone who got acceptances lived in or near a major city? If the letters were sent out May 11 as one person noted, then it can take 4 days to get to us rural ppl.

 

Also just curious, did the acceptance letters look like normal mail or were they thicker?

[astudentis]

First NB applicant posting here!

 

Happy to say got my 2nd acceptance today from DAL (1st from MUN).

 

Yippie!

 

I'll post my stats tomorrow in the sticky.

 

 

btw, letter came in a small white envelope, via regular mail, date on the letter is may 11, no date on the envelope it self, had two sheets in it

[whale.of.a.time]

I live right in Halifax (well, near the rotary) and close to the main mail sorting building place, so that definitely might be part of it. Mail always gets here quickly.

 

The letter said May 11, but it is stamped as going through the mail system....ummm, let me check....May 12.

 

So I wouldn't be surprised if it only reaches some people in Halifax tomorrow even. They timed it pretty well.

 

Envelope was completely normal, doesn't even have the Dal logo on the front (just Admissions & Student Affairs address in the corner). Not at all thick. The acceptance only has 2 pages: the letter itself and then the Admission Confirmation form.

Acceptance and rejection letters are both sent in standard white envelopes. Rejection letters are one sheet of paper, and acceptance letters (I believe) have two sheets.

Congrats astudentis!!!

 

That's good news for all the other maritime people too, the letters are on their way!
