sv3 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 generic answer... UC is more upfront, albeit a bit. I finally caved and called today to see what was up - they admitted class sizes could very well change and that it is all in the government's hands. They also said they still intend to send offers out on the 14th. That's all i got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that I am pretty flabbergasted at just how late in the game they are letting this play out. You never really think that such grand-scale institutions would govern themselves like this.....most definitely disheartening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obvious the blame game has already begun as well. Either way, it's now out of our hands unfortunately. Just gotto keep waiting gluck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think writing letters, organizing protests would help. I know its late in the game but putting enough pressure on the government is better than doing nothing at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with less than two weeks to go, it won't make as much of an impact now - unless of course, this drags on post-May 14th. In that case, hell yeah. I'd also throw in putting pressure on the unis too but that's harder to do considering we're trying to get into them and all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashley Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Totally unreliable heresay but my friend at UofC said she heard that UofA wasn't cutting anymore?! Although she did know about the cuts emails first too before this whole mess... Anyone else heard this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although she did know about the cuts emails first too before this whole mess... Anyone else heard this? I did hear something positive last week as well from someone inside UA. Of course they did not say "we are not cutting seats 100%" but it was more along the lines of "we are operating under the assumption that the same number of offers will go out as last year". All i can say about that. Was nice to see a positive sign but nothings written in stone yet I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure U of A must know how many acceptances they are handing out on Friday because don't they also mail you a letter? These letters must already be made and will be licked and ready to go out thursday or friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
