Morphie Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm an out of province student. I called and they said that they haven't sent out any notices to out of province students. I asked when they were planning to and she said "before the 20th" and thats it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hey guys, I just went down to the Admissions Office to check on the status of the interview letters for IP applicants. It turns out that something like 35 emails were overwritten by the registrar's office and those people had their emails sent to a different address. They said it was specifically people who put down their Dal (@dal.ca) emails that ran into the problem. The secretary told me she is resending the emails to the correct addresses (hopefully, this time) this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc2B Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Actually it was people who DIDN'T use there dal emails but had dal emails. The system automatically sent the emails to dal email addresses if there was a dal email in the system that corresponded to that B00 number even if the applicant had entered a different email address for this application.

2014? Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I was one of those people, and received a follow up email this afternoon from Tracy Teed outlining the problem and attaching the official interview invite. Thanks again Doc2B and others for looking into this!! VERY much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supafield Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Doc2B, Any further word on OOP invites? I'd like to contain my neurotic F5'ing to a 24-48 hour window lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc2B Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 On or before the 20th is as much as I know as well. Sorry about the wait but it's not too much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w8kg6 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 OMG that's torture If you think this is bad, wait until it's time for decision letters to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOC_Ma Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 If you think this is bad, wait until it's time for decision letters to come out. This one is different because I can actually do something about it. So whether or not getting an interview will determine the course of my action for the next 3 months (i.e. preparing for the interview or not). However for the acceptance letter there's nothing one can do about it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However for the acceptance letter there's nothing one can do about it . Good points, but even still, there's a possible wait that's 100x worse than either of the ones we've mentioned. Imagine you get your decision letter, and you find out you're waitlisted at number 14. Looking back through old posts, you find out that the average movement for your pool is between 11 and 15 spots, haha. That is EASILY the worst wait going, and it happens to tons of ppl each year (I was one of the lucky few last summer). Oh well, hopefully you've got a nice, fat, acceptance letter coming your way, .

Ouch that waiting must have been "good" . Anyway good luck to both of us, I am leaving my lab and heading off home finally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xi88 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Oh well, hopefully you've got a nice, fat, acceptance letter coming your way, . Dal's acceptance letters are actually quite thin. Mine came in a small plain envelope without the Dal crest on it, and it only had 2 sheets of paper (congratulations letter and conformation form).

Mine came in a small plain envelope without the Dal crest on it, and it only had 2 sheets of paper (congratulations letter and conformation form). Thanks xi. Yeah, I'd heard that the only difference between acceptance and waitlist/rejection was that acceptance had 2 pieces of paper in the letter. In that quote, I was just using 'fat' as a figure of speech. Cheers for the info though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
