EconCO Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Guys, sorry not to follow the form proposed, but I'm wondering if you know when will UBC send their results for the PhD program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt11qj Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 I am not too sure. I did not apply there to be honest. Maybe give the grad coordinator or grad assistant a call during normal business hours?

okc Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Comments: Seems like they are eliminating the General/Doctoral Stream starting this cycle. I was wondering the same thing. My letter did not mention anything about the stream, instead it indicated pre-approval to enroll in any PhD classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tt11qj Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Yeah I get the impression they are eliminating the Doctoral Stream all together. I personally was not offered the ability to take PhD sequences but I know someone that was offered admission and had the option to take sequences. However there is no additional incentives for doing so aside from not having to take them again. It appears everyone has received the same funding for the most part which is unfortunately very little considering cost of living and tuition. I was wondering the same thing. My letter did not mention anything about the stream, instead it indicated pre-approval to enroll in any PhD classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
economie Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Last year they mentioned the stream in the letter. If they don't, your funding should give you an idea of which stream you are in. Doctoral stream gets you 24-27k (depending on TA/RA hours offered) + maybe an additional admission award of 2000 $ (I got that last year, not sure if some others got it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okc Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 According to my letter, I can choose to enroll in any PhD courses but the funding package is really low (5K+TA). I already have a couple funded T30 offers from the US so I would not go to Toronto. If Toronto offered a better funding package then I would definitely attend because I get to live at home.

pocketecon Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Still have not received any update/email on Toronto's MA program. Do they send out offers all at once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt11qj Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Everyone that I know of that received the option to take PhD sequences had the exact same funding as regular stream. There is an option in the letter to submit offer letters from other programs to the grad director. Perhaps that may increase funding packages? That's what I did at least so lets hope for the best.

soundchaser Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Guys, sorry not to follow the form proposed, but I'm wondering if you know when will UBC send their results for the PhD program UBC's decision may come considerably later than usual as they extended the deadline for a month to help international students who were affected by the U.S. executive order.

tt11qj Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 It's official. There is no longer separate streams (doctoral or regular) for UoT. People will only have the ability to get pre approval to take core PhD squences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specious Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 That's really frustrating that UoT would change the terms after soliciting applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okc Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I got my UofT offer revised. Now funding is 24.7k conditional on me getting accepted to their PhD program in 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundchaser Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Do you know if they're sending one by one, or was a mass email? Likely one-by-one. There's an attached PDF with specific funding information. There is also a minor stuff in the PDF that seems to be personalized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
