Fall 2018 Admission

Fall 2018 admission

Accepted by Fall 2018 program. (Why the decision came so early?)

Hello to the poster below who apply to U of A too.. My application status is still "Under Review" too. I call the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences' Graduate Admissions Team today regarding the status matter, and they said "once the committee has made final decision, you will be notified of your application status updated at Application Portal. It is not advisable to check your application status at Bear Tracks.." So, all we have to do is just wait.. Have patience😄 Good lucks!

Hi! I'm an international applicant. I was wondering if anyone here has heard back from U of A regarding admission result (especially MSc programs etc.) for Fall Term 2017? I submitted my application on 26th March 2017, and until present my application status is still "Under Review".. :( Highly appreciated if anyone here can give me a hint/clues whether the U of A will notified us of the result before the end of June.. Thanks!

Hi, anyone here gotten a feedback from Biostatistics? Been waiting since January.

accepted to the program, now just waiting to hear from one other school to make my final decision. Any one know how long it takes to hear back from Stony Brook for the stats program?

Request for interview with supervisor Feb 28, Accepted March 16 officially. Canadian.

Canadian, I have still not heard from Queen's yet, accepted at Western and Dalhousie.

Withdraw the admission just before. Wish someone could get my admission.

Provide me a funding PhD offer. Said that I can change my direction after accepting.

Will reject the offer, hope this might help others.

To the international student who asked for advice below: Actually I am in the same situation as you, I am also an international student who got accepted into the fast-track MS with no funding. They said if your grades are good in the first year then you will have a chance to get funding for the second year, and all PhD students (starting from third year) will get funded. Since I want to research in statistical genetics, this is the best place to go so I had no choice but to accept it. I know the costs are really tough, especially without tuition waived. But I think nothing much could really be done... If you cannot afford it then you should probably decline it. You can leave a contact in the comments if you are still undecided. All the best!

I applied for PhD in Biostatistics but was accepted to their fast-track MS with no funding. Although I am very interested, as international applicant the cost is too much for me. Contacting the faculty did not help. Does anyone have relevant information of what else can be done ? Or should I just decline to free the spot?
