Canadian. Surprised I got in as I have little research experience. Vancouver is too expensive right now, so probably going to have to decline

As expected, because I have already seen classmates sharing the offers they received in the first round, and the results that were supposed to be announced by March 15th have been delayed, this situation is similar to what happened with UT (where I was later rejected). Throughout this journey, I realized that applying for Master of Arts programs in Canada is quite challenging for undergraduate students from mainland China. The main reasons are the limited quota for international students and the high standards for cultivating prospective doctoral students (similar to the MPhil programs in Hong Kong schools). Compared to the outright rejection from McGill's Thesis program, being placed on the waitlist by UT and UBC is itself an encouragement. Thank you, UBC, for being so supportive!

Canadian citizen, undergrad from SFU. Had a 3.22/4.33 GPA, so it was very unexpected. I do have 1.5 years in a public and academic library as a page and my undergrad is a BSc

Received an email to check the portal -- didn't take the GRE, 3+ years of work experience, no publications/papers, undergrad degree in STEM (not IE though)

International student but completed undergrad at UBC. have a BSc in an unrelated field, no library/archives experience.

Domestic, undergrad completed at UBC

Domestic student accepted with 14.4k of funding. Good work and extracurricular experience but lack of research. Honestly very surprised to be accepted.

Rant.Proves whats wrong with this society. Theres no f way i can afford this school or masters in any school for that reason without almost full tuition scholarship . People look up to those who attended prestigious institutes , but little do they know that there are several more who are capable of attending them but are not able afford them. A handful take huge loans with hopes that some company will hire them with enough salary to help payback that loan. What abt those who arent willling to take on a huge loan and rely on the university's tag? their skills are pretty much the same regardless of whether or not they attend the institution. F the system.

Canadian domestic student. Admitted with 14K funding and $5000 scholarships.
