Ahh I see. Their admissions is a joke, 150 dollars wasted. Future applicants, only apply if you get a positive reply from your prospective supervisor. If not this is a joke. Maybe the department is understaffed or in some crisis, first is the extended deadline till june, lack of support ( I had login problems with CWL, no one from mech helped) and shitty servers.

Excited beyond words. I was expecting a rejection, since I had been waiting for the admission decision since February.

Yes, it was Derek! One thing that almost drived me crazy was this fact that I totally forgot to send my electronic IELTS score and even after 4 months they did not bother themselves to notify me regarding this lack of documents. I applied for several programs in Europe but whenever there were some missing documentations, they were contacting me immediately! regardless of zero application fee!!! But when you pay the application fee it's natural to get some basic services concerning your application status.

Thanks for the info. I got a reply from this person called Derek. He basically cut and pasted the text from the website After applying section. http://mech.ubc.ca/graduate/prospective/applications-admissions/research-application-instructions/ They didn't give any specific details such as the decision hasn't been received from supervisors. Did Derek reply to your mail too?

To the poster below. As a matter of fact, I had some correspondence with the department and they told me that the professors whom I had selected have not sent their response concerning my application. They refused to tell me the date on which they are going to publish the results of admission or even anybody has granted the admission so far. Please be advised for some applicants the visa procedure takes very long time and they should publish the result at least 3 months ahead of September. Hence, 1st of June for the deadline is very late. Moreover, it seems the other departments have already announced the results but no any news from this department.

Guys!!! for mech the deadline is June, do you think that is the reason for the delay!! I sent a mail and received a generic response. Surely, they should be done with apps within a certain period and won't even tell us that. bloody hell. For September start would they let us know in August.

I did not receive the decision from the university. Anyone can share if you receive any message?

Still heard nothing yet! Getting a little anxious since it looks like acceptances are being handed out already

To the poster below, I am from India waiting for this result! Someone posted a few cards down that he/she got accpeted! Please share your profile mate!Thanks!

Anyone receive result for Master of Data Science from UBC? Any who have got through pls share their profile and how much time UBC have given them to confirm their decision?? Anyone from India waiting for result??

HirnrnAnyone received accept/reject from UBC in master in data science?? If yes, share your profile?? How much time did they give you to confirm?

This is ridiculous! After submitting my application (around 6 months ago), I still have not heard anything from this lazy department. I don’t understand why does it take so long for a department to select its prospective students? I received my admission from Europe’s top-tier Universities considering the fact that I applied 2 months later compared to Canadian Universities.

I wonder why were they holding on to the application for so long. I had applied quite early.

Have not decided yet if I will take up the offer, I am a bit skeptical regarding career opportunities as this is quite a new program
