Graduate School Admission Results

Domestic student. I was accepted into the MI a few weeks ago, was just notified for MMSt today. No update in the application management portal. The email read "We are writing to let you know that you have currently been placed on a waitlist. What does this mean / frequently asked questions: We are unable to share where you are on the waitlist. There is no set number of rounds for additional offers. Applicants on the waitlist will be notified of an updated decision after the first-round response deadline (April 15), after we see how many spaces are still available in the program. The next round of offers will likely be closer to the end of April. Admission is determined by the quantity and quality of applications received each year. With the increase in applications received, this year was exceptionally competitive. Admission decisions were very difficult, as there were many highly qualified candidates and a limited number of spaces in the program."

Canadian applicant. Offered UVIC fellowship of 9k for one year. Will be declining as I prefer an in-person program and will be attending a different program.

This was my dream program, so this one hurts like I didn’t even know I could hurt. But at least this finally closes out my cycle

Domestic applicant, Cdn MA.

1a/7r/0p it's finally over

interviewed on 12/03

Completed undergrad 2021; letters from 2 profs and 1 internship supervisor; accepted with 40% scholarship. Applied for the Public History track. This was my dream program but have sadly declined because I still couldn't afford it with the funding.

Wow… Didn’t expect this with such a new program. Maybe funding cuts affected this department too. 2a/0w/ 15r/3p

A brand spanking new program, but the same tired lie of a rejection letter, prattling on about a high number of applicants every year. the AUDACITY, the GALL. Anyway 2a / 0w / 15r / 3p

They interviewed me in the middle of January and said that they could let me know the results by the end of January. However, I have not heard from them since then. On March 19, they just gave me a very short rejection letter. Why does it take them so long to reject me if they plan to do so? At least, they should send a proper rejection letter for the sake of respecting applicants' time and efforts spent on applying for their program.
