Invited to "Visiting Day," which is not quite an interview but not quite a bad sign either.

I inquired about when they were going to send out invites for interviews and was informed that OEB does not do formal interviews. Just FYI

Got the letter in the mail! I come from a QS top 50, international uni. Distinction average, first class honours degree, two summer internships (though we call them something different here). I had no publications and no awards at the time. Good references. I was told I was accepted due to my research background (my research interests were also a direct match for the lab I applied to). I encourage anyone who finds a good lab to apply for it!

Got the snail-mail letter and an email from POI on the same day with the bad news. Not entirely unexpected, but sad :( POI said that the pool was very unusually competitive this year.

E-mail from potential PI. Unexpected and a bummer, but apparently they could only let in about half what they wanted to this year for funding reasons.

I haven't heard anything yet. The wait is killing me, but it looks like last year acceptances and rejections happened around the 25th of March. Good luck all.

Anybody heard anything from the program? There is one acceptance for F10. Not having received any notice of admission yet = rejection?!

Potential advisor states that decision letters will be sent out in the next few weeks. He is however not involved in admission process.

Email response to my inquiry from a potential advisor. They can only admit half the applicants they hoped to admit due to funding limitations. Going to UMass, Amherst this fall.

To the OEB blow, I asked a committee member whom I once met. He told me the bad news...

I called my contact there and he delivered the bad news (even though he said that I would be officially notified soon). It's ok. They could take less than half the number of students they usually admit...
