Graduate School Admission Results

Masters at UWaterloo in Statistics with 91.71% average. PhD admissions for current UWaterloo Masters students depend heavily on finding a supervisor, meaning that if you found someone who'll take you in, you'll pretty much get in. Also, you can apply late, as in June-July (and you have to if you did your undergrad elsewhere). I got an e-mail from someone in the department about two weeks before I got an official letter about admission.

Accepted into the ABM program in secondary special education, met with advisor and discussed course schedule. 3.4 GPA, community service, jobs working with young kids and practicums shadowing secondary students. Submitted writing sample. No GRE required.

No research experience or publications; highly relevant work experience after graduation

The scholarship is from FSMP. I was accepted for the M2, i.e., just the second year of masters. I had an undergrad in physics from a very good university in my country (Colombia), and now I am finishing the postgraduate math diploma of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), which is equivalent to an M1 in mathematics.

applied for Astro PhD and didn't hear anything until May 1st, when I was asked if I would consider switching to the master’s program. It took until today to get the final decision. I'm writing this post to complain about how incredibly slow the process was. With this official rejection, my 2024 fall application season is finally over, with 0 offers. It's a bitter experience, but for the committee, they don't care about what you've been through or how hard you've worked to get in front of them; they only care if you meet their criteria. The world is very cruel. I want to thank my supervisors once again—everything I've achieved today is because of their kind help.

Waitlisted on April 1st , and CANNOT get a hold of admissions…. August 1st now. No replies to my emails since being confirmed I want to keep my place on the waitlist. I tried calling and left a message but have not receive a call back. Class starts in a month and I don’t appreciate the silence! Is this a rejection? Probably, but I’m. It willing to give up yet.

Never heard anything from LSU. Obviously it's way passed any reasonable timeline, but I called and emailed to confirm and no one ever bothered to reply. Rejected from all 15 schools I applied to this cycle with my Master's in a related field, rejected from 13 two years ago.
