Canadian applicant. $19,000 in funding. Emailed by manager of the program then received an official letter on Quest approximately 1 week later.

Data Science And Artificial Intelligence (MDSAI)

Status changed on quest (no email yet, but informal acceptance from supervisor came some time ago)

Unofficial offer via email from Program Director. From Canada.

Ignore the “interview” selection... I noticed there was one post about Waterloo. Has anyone else received a response?

Canadian applicant. No interview. Offered funding. With requested supervisor.

Canadian applicant. Funding offered, but lower than my other acceptances so will probably be rejecting.

Forget the waitlist part, no clue what's going on. I emailed the department and asked where the admission process is at and they said that they'll let me know around April. Does that mean a rejection? Shouldn't acceptances come by march ending? Is anybody familiar with this process know if that's a rejection?

TTPB: It is possible but highly unlikely because most of the application process is handled by the department. University Graduate Office essentially just double check your admissibility, but the decision to admit you lies with your intended department. Unless there is a discrepancy in your application, this process is just a formality.

I receive the grad visit day invitation on 2.24 but i did not see that. I saw it on 3.7 and then i sent an email to explain. On the next day i receive an email where it said that my missing visit day would not affect the application and my application had been recommended by the Department of Statistics and Actuarial science but need to be approved by the University Graduate Office and i should see something within a week. However, this email was received on Monday and today(3.12) is Friday but the status is still "Application". Although some people on the internet say that this email is a kind of informal admission but i am still very anxious. Is there someone get the recommendation for admission but be rejected by the University Graduate Office?

TTPB: Thank you so much for going out of your way! Your argument is quite reasonable. Good luck with your applications! :)

To the poster admitted to this program: Congrats! I am one of the admitted applicants, too. How long have they given you to decide? I'm waiting for other universities and I'm not sure if it is appropriate to accept the offer and decline it later if I get admitted to other programs. Or should I ask them for more time? Any suggestions?
