Email to check portal. Knew it was over when I reached out to supervisor I had met with in person because I hadn't heard anything and was ghosted on the response. This is my last cycle. I am done with this whole charade

Non Canadian, I came on gradcafe to post about this rejection and then I saw the ones who too got rejected post a short note about their experience. I thought I was the only one ghosted because I too had a strong backup from the supervisor I was in touch with. He was extremely positive to take me on as his PhD candidate and then my last two emails I sent him after submitting my application was simply not responded to, I was ghosted completely. I felt so stupid because I was so sure about this and didn’t apply elsewhere thinking I would be betraying a potential supervisor who showed interest and now I’m left with no prospects. That’s on me and also a lesson learned.

I got in touch with a potential supervisor in November 2024 and she agreed to supervise me. I also contacted other supervisors who agreed to sit on my supervising committee. And now it turns out that everything I did, every email I sent, looks so stupid. They didn't contact me for interview or anything. Id rather got rejected with at least an interview.

I was in touch with my potential supervisor and he too was interested in taking me on, suddenly radio silence and then 2 months later I get rejection email. Pretty disappointed.

I am an international student and I already have a supervisor and funded project to support my PhD, the process was highly competitive.

[IGNORE STATUS] : I’m a non-Canadian candidate. Can someone tell me if they’ve heard back from this program? Submitted my application at the beginning of Jan but received no updates. If anyone has any information pls do let me know as I’m heavily dealing with anxiety. Thank you!
