kardia123 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 have not heard anything yet... anyone else?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedMedapplicant Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Nope... Though not sure if its due to minimal movement in my pool or a delay on the UofA's part in contacting us. Would really be nice to know more about being on the list... I understand not telling us where on the list but it would be nice to know if there is an alternate for every seat offered or if it is some percentage of every seat offered in each pool...

hamham Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hey, just want to let you know that accepted applicants have until May 31 (i.e. today) to accept or decline their offer. So, I would not expect any waitlist movement today. Earliest would probably be on Monday. Hope this help ease some fears! Good luck to all!

SKM Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Sigh. I truly believe the benefit of letting people know where they are on the list far outweighs the cons. If there's one area of the application process that really feels antiquated, this is definitely it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelayedMedapplicant Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Thought I would post this link. I know it may seem a bit cheesy but I think for those of us on the waitlist as well as those who have been rejected it is a nice reminder to never give up on our dream! I also want to thank everyone on this forum who has taken the time to advise me and counsel me, as well as the many useful posts and information that everyone has shared. For all your support over the past few years I am eternally grateful. Never stop believing! One day it will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelayedMedapplicant Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Anyone here about the rural pool waitlist... I know it's a small pool so maybe all of the seats are filled by individuals who don't frequent the forum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComeOn!! Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Just wondering if a relatively big batch of IP waitlisters received an acceptance today? So anybody else that was waitlisted IP get in, other than the one guy that posted already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbak Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I'm wondering the same thing. Anyone have an idea if they send out acceptances all at once, or over a couple days..? I'm IP and haven't heard anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kardia123 Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I think it is all at once, at least for the very first batch of movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filter105 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 U of A waitlist thread is pretty quiet, is there lot of movement in the wait list? because other schools (ontario) seems to be moving pretty quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telric Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Could be a low movement year? Every person I know who was accepted to both Calgary and Alberta is attending Alberta, which surprised me. Also the reduced number of seats at Calgary could indirectly reduce wait list movement at Alberta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyl Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I got in off the ip waitlist today as well so there seems to be some movement. Goodluck to those of you still waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filter105 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 hey thanks for letting us know jyl. I guess there is some movement. I'm getting very discouraged now though,,,because I thought I had a pretty good chance. just wondering does anyone know if they only take certain number of MSc grad at U of A?

stillwaiting2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Congratulations on getting an acceptance, jyl!! I was wondering if you will be accepting your offer to study at UofA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyl Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Thanks, yes i will be accepting! The movement does seem kind of quiet (at least from this forum) so maybe it is just taking them some extra time to sort out all the offers to the waitlisters out there.
