beachbum Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anyone is waiting on some of their "outstanding items" to become "completed" on Beartracks. I sent everything in and the last outstanding item I have is one of my reference letters. My prof said he mailed it Jan 7 and I know it would have taken a few extra days to get to Edmonton from BC. I'm sure the letter is in good hands at U of A and that Beartracks just hasn't been updated with its status, as I'm sure they've been flooded with applications over the last few weeks. Anyways, if anyone is in the same boat as me let me know! Good luck everyone with their applications! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepeak12 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I was in a similar situation as you but it was with transcripts. My school stated that they mailed it out, but it took what seemed like forever for beartracks to update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi2158 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yep, mine took 4 weeks to update in December and then 3 weeks in January...I thought I was losing my mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egad00 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm still waiting for them to update my references - all the other schools I applied to have my reference letters, which leads me to believe that it takes them quite a while to update bear tracks, or at least to get through all the application materials they receive. I'm still panicked though haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepeak12 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Me too. I mailed them my CV, reference letters, and Statement of Interest but they still havent updated it yet. I used a tracking number so I know they have gotten it already but still it makes me nervous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Seems like we're all a bunch of Type A personalities! Mine was updated about 3 weeks after I sent it in so it does take quite some time to update! Since it's now the deadline I'm sure they'll be updating the status of the documents hopefully soon to bring everyone's stress levels down! Here's to hoping we hear back about admissions sooner rather than later!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JYC Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi guys! Some of my documents are still "initiated" on Beartracks but I believe U of A has them already. Good luck to all of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clumsyballerina Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hey everyone, I haven't posted here before but it helped me out a lot with my applications. Does anyone know from last year what date UofA sent out early acceptances? Is it actually mid-late March or do they tend to put it off into April? I can't stop thinking about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepeak12 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 last year they sent out actual mail i believe, or at least some people got early acceptances that way. i remember people receiving them from mid to late march. this year though they are sending out emails as their site states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi2158 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I have seen people post their acceptance dates from previous years usually starting around March 19-ish. Probably varies a little bit year to year, but I think we've got another week or so of waiting before they start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogaandtea Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Oh man, the wait is killing me! Do you know if they are sending out the emails to our ualberta accounts we created when we applied? or our alternate addresses? Also, do they send the letter by mail or email first? Haha I'm sure you all have the same questions...BUT...if you know, do tell!! Good luck everyone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 One of my friends is in pt at U of A and she told me to set up my ualberta email on my phone cause that's where they sent her acceptance to! I'm guessing it'd be the same for us!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepeak12 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I heard last year they sent it through your email account that you put in the contact information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumsyballerina Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm not sure, so I set the ualberta e-mail to forward to my regular one. I'm spending way too much time refreshing my e-mail...hopefully we'll hear soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepeak12 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I totally hear ya. I'm refreshing my email excessively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Glad to see I am not alone in checking my email constantly!! I doubt I will get early acceptance b/c my GPA is in the 3.7 range... but I just really really want to know!! I looked at some of the previous threads on this forum and it seems like early offers go out between March 15-23 and then again later in April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepeak12 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Did anyone else see the U of A site being just updated? They no longer say mid-late march. it says at the end of march Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogaandtea Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 ohh yeah i saw that! But I mean...it's kind of the end of march now? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCOT Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yes I expect we won't find out about admissions for awhile. I called the office to ask why it was taking so long for my application to be updated and they received way more applications this year then in past years so everything is taking longer than usual.
