Mail out date was August 7th, have not heard anything from 12 of my 14 schools since receiving application complete emails middle to end of August. Time to start calling?

probably sending a courteous email expressing your interest in their program is better than direct calling. (people who pick up the phone don't hold much power anyways) while ur email can be read by adcom perhaps.

I would email, not call. Did you get interviews at the other 2?

Im also curious about how to go about emailing schools. Someone can simply say that they are interested in the school's program but there would need to be a goal or a point to get across when writing the email. What would that be perhaps?

Basically for Canadians an A (80-90) is converted to a 4.0, and a A+ (90+) is converted to a 4.3. So you can see, the AADSAS conversion scale works in our favour. Yes I am aware of that, but even with that I don't think I'm that competitive (best two years around a 3.75 with OMSAS).

Oh wow, thats awesome. Is there a thread for Canadians applying to US schools?

I am also curious. I am thinking about waiting until after December 1st. If I get an acceptance maybe I will mention that and state that I am still interested in the school? I don't know if that will help at all.

Did you earlier get an email asking for the supplemental fee, and just now get rejected? Or did you never get the supplemental email?

The reason I ask is because I applied to UW but I literally never heard a thing back. I knew I had an incredibly slim chance being out of state, but just wanted to go for it. Do you (or does anyone else) know if I will ever hear anything back at all? Or is this just a rejection with no communication whatsoever?

I did get a supplemental. Completed and sent in my fee, but I didn't get any confirmation that everything was complete and received so I emailed about it. Got a rejection a few days later.

I called AADSAS on Friday about updating my coursework and they said for "planned/in progress" at least, you can change your courses and credits, but he did not mention anything about grades. I imagine you'd have to submit another transcript request or call.
