Reject letter on portal

US citizen w/ international degree. Finally! I can't believe it took them this long to tell me I was rejected. I also applied to the Linguistics dept. and haven't heard back from them yet.

TTPB: How were you notified waitlisted? Did you get an email or asked them in person? There seems no process going on my application. Is this the 'If you haven't heard of anything from committees by now, your application haven't been considered' things?

Checked quest 2 minutes ago. Shows "deny" :)) Good luck out there bois.

Wow Columbia... submitted 11/28 last year, Interviewed 2/11, still no result and it's 5/1? Waiting slightly less than half a year for results....

McGill has been least considerate about the students. This is sheer unprofessionalism on their part.

"If you have not heard from our Department, then your file will has not been considered." - What does this sentence even mean? Are they talking about the questionnaire which the department asked us to fill up around mid January? (Did they ask only selected students to answer those questions? I thought they asked every applicant) Or are they talking about interviews? Also, I had mailed "[email protected]" asking when they will let us know about their decisions, and I received the following reply on 18th April - "Good afternoon, All applications are still being reviewed, decisions will be made by the end of April. We thank you for your patience. Regards, Graduate Program Coordinator School of Computer Science | McGill University" How come the graduate program coordinator is now saying that they will approve files till May 21? I am very confused.

TTPB: I have not been waitlisted either. I was thinking probably they would give us admits and based on our decision, the waitlisted people would then have a chance. Just speculating.

Why can't they just reject all the people they haven't waitlisted? What are they waiting for?

TTPB: "When did you receive this email?" => this morning at 10:46 Eastern Time, so needless to say it was very very confusing. Not only does the email contain grammatical mistakes, but it says a) that 5/21 is the last day to "approve files" (ie. accept students??) and b) that if we haven't heard from the Department, we haven't been accepted, which seems like a contradictory statement to me...

TO THE BANNER BELOW So if we haven't received any interviews or emails, does that mean we are rejected implicitly?

TO THE BANNER BELOW Must be the mail that we received that involved answering the extra questions, that we received around Feb

When did you receive this email?

Received the following -- not really sure what it means. My uApply file is still in "Submitted" state. Anyone else receive something similar? "Good morning, Our last day to approve files is May 21, 2019. If you have not heard from our Department, then your file will has not been considered. If you have other offers from other universities, we encourage you to accept them. We thank you for your time and patience. Regards, Graduate Program Coordinator School of Computer Science | McGill University"

Totally a surprise!!!

TTPB : Even i am waiting to hear back from them. I feel that only rejections are left at this point. Mailing them didn’t help in any way and i got a generic reply.
