Hep/th: International student with first-class honours in my master's degree and two papers in process. Interview on 10 March. Still awaiting funding and College membership.

Email to check portal.

Received an email from the Chair of the graduate committee. Will accept in a few days!

Just declined my offer. I hope it helps someone get in.

[ignore interview] UBC was really slow this year and I think they just started sending out the first round of official admissions. The deadline to respond is April 15th for the first round of offers so there might be another round of offers around that date (ik.. so late)

Emailed the department to ask about my status and they said final offers were sent out on Monday and that they were sorry they couldn't offer me a spot. Pretty much expected at this point. Did not receive the actively considering email.

Waitlisted. Please, if you got an offer and not planning to attend, decline as soon as possible

Just email Prof. Cohen and he will tell you everything about the status. (Extremely frustrated about the result because it seems that the "active consideration list" is truly a waitlist and I held the expectation for nearly two months !!)

I have notified the department that I will not be attending UVA. So for anyone holding out hope, a spot has opened up.

"We received many impressive applications, such as yours, and we only had room for a specific number of admits"

TTPB: I'm sorry to hear about that. May I know which Research Group or Professor you mentioned in the application & candidate statement? Your reply may help me.

I received a reply from the admission committee that I'm on the waiting list. If anyone who's accepted doesn't plan on attending, kindly please decline. They're waiting to hear from the first group of accepted people before they make more offers.

For people who are waiting: I recieved the likely letter in February, contacted the department today and was told that the last offers were made on monday. Despite your strong background, we are sorry to inform you that you are not accepted.

TTPB: Could you please mention who you corresponded with? Was it Prof. Cohen?

3.7ish GPA, a little less than a year of relevant research, and a bunch of extracurriculars. I'm excited!

Ignore waitlist. If you have an offer from UF and have somewhere better to go please reject their offer asap.

To those who are under active consideration and who are not, you guy will all receive rejection within a few days. I just emailed a professor who in charge of the admission and was informed that the final round of offers were made by Monday, meaning that if you haven't received any response, you will be 100% rejected. It's actually hilarious that this process took such a long time. Also, I was on the active consideration list and was told that a significant amount of offers would be made in Late March. But it seemed that very few were given, it turned out umd was kinda pranking on us ！
