Tryptophan Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 ive been wondering the same thing. Im so nervous keep checking my beartracks like everyday. Does anyone know how they usually do it? Do they send emails before letters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupineworm Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Oh i was asking if anyone else got theirs. I have mine already, and they sent it though mail. Didn't get an email and beartracks still says the application is pending. Go check your mail, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupineworm Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Got mine a couple days ago! They sent it on May 18th! So happy! Congrats! anyone know if its a rolling admission? or did they send out all the acceptances already? I heard that about half the acceptances have come out, and the rest will be in late June/early July. At least that seems to be what happened in previous years.

Simplicity01 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Mine was also sent out on May 18th. As porcupineworm mentioned, no change on my bear tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnesium Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 For all you who got the letter from May 18th, had you already gotten a conditional acceptance letter (in March)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplicity01 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 For all you who got the letter from May 18th, had you already gotten a conditional acceptance letter (in March)? For me, the letter sent on May 18th was the only one I got. It does say it's a conditional acceptance though. The final transcripts must be in before the due date. Last day to confirm the position is June 1st. I'm accepting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kswiss Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yeah the only letter I got was on may 18th cause interviews were only in march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupineworm Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I had the conditional in March (sent March 21st but arrived on April fools day). It just said it's conditional on maintaining grades, staying in enrolled classes, etc. So it didn't say what GPA you had to maintain to keep the acceptance. Then just a few days ago I got another letter with final acceptance (sent out on May 18th, like everyone else's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnesium Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Congrats Kswiss and simplicity! It sounds like they form the class slowly and send out acceptances to the next set of students once the previous group has accepted/declined their offers. Fingers crossed for everyone else who's still waiting. @zap_man99 It's not the same type of rolling admissions system as the US, but it does look like acceptances are being sent out in a rolling fashion. HYPOTHESIS ON ALBERTA ADMISSIONS: Admissions selects and ranks all students; top ranked 33-35 students put on "initial acceptances" list, followed by the waitlist. As the top (half of?) ranked students (March 21 and May 18 letters) start accepting/declining their offers, additional spots are opened in the later rounds for the next highest ranked student(s) on what I'll call the 'unreleased waitlist' (i.e. these students would've been the waitlist if all acceptances were given out at once). It would then follow that the 3rd round of letters (June/July) would be sent to remaining "initial acceptances" AND ALSO to the top x students on the 'unreleased waitlist' (where x is the number of open spots created by declined offers). The remaining students from the 'unreleased waitlist' then become the 'official waitlist.' The x students who got off it will never know that they were waitlisted because their letters came at the same time as everyone else's. By the time we get to here, a student on the 'official waitlist' can only get in if someone from the 3rd round declines or if someone from 1st or 2nd round decides to go elsewhere after paying the deposit. This is just a theory, but if you check old forum posts you'll see that the Alberta waitlist doesn't move a lot and this system of releasing letters in waves would definitely produce a similar result.

Mr. Freeze Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 waitlisted.... would be so nice to know the order, but i guess just have to wait again. Hopefully the waitlist moves significantly this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamingDent Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Waitlisted... Does anyone know the number of "waitlisting" positions they offer? Will they reveal your position on the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
