Received my rejection this morning as well.
I received an email the 21st about explaining why a class was considered "part time." I replied the next day, but somehow the email was never received because I got an email yesterday saying I was denied due to me not replying 🥲Unfortunately this morning I received a rejection from PEI. I think it has to do with the way i’ve taken my classes - they stated that two of my courses were taken as “part-time” which i don’t understand. Anyone else have this issue?
Yes, this. I was accepted with two courses in a part-time semester (it was taking maybe 6 total credit hours?) but I did have to submit an explanation statement about why I was taking such a light course load.Their website states you need to submit a letter of appeal if your prerequisites were not taken at a full time pace (aka a full courseload at a full time student pace)
Regional applicant here! Looking for some reassurance. My grades are typically quite good, Dean’s list student. However, I have one c+. How badly will this affect me, and will I even be considered now?
This happened to me too! I got an email asking why I never took biology or chemistry with a lab and why I took calc part time?? None of these things are true and I can't understand what on my transcript suggests that, because I took two semesters of both intro bio and chemistry, both with labs, got As, and have never taken less than 16 credits per semester. I emailed them back trying to get clarification on why they think I never took these classes and never got an email back. I even followed up with them and never got a response. How am I supposed to write a letter explaining why I never took those courses if I absolutely did take them??I received an email the 21st about explaining why a class was considered "part time."

I had already tried with my issue and they said they understand but it’s too late in the process to change anything🙄I would try reaching out again to let them know as this sounds like a probable technology error on their end that I’m sure they would be horrified by. I know it doesn’t help your situation now but I think it’s worth it![]()
Did they at least refund you because that’s really terrible :/ Sorry to hearI had already tried with my issue and they said they understand but it’s too late in the process to change anything🙄
I asked for one but they said no😅Like I get there’s a process to everything, but to acknowledge they understand what happened but still refuse to do anything about it with no explanation other than “it is what it is” seems ridiculous to meDid they at least refund you because that’s really terrible :/ Sorry to hear
If it helps, last cycle this was a concern too. You can reread last year’s thread but I think someone shot them a second email to confirm but there was no need to as they were already confirmed! Never hurts to reach out again but it’s probably fine.International applicant here c: !
Did anyone receive a confirmation email after responding to the interview invite? I responded to the admissions team that I would like to attend Interview Day and would like to confirm my spot, but I never received an email of confirmation from them. Am I overthinking that they did not receive my response? Interview Day is coming up and I am anxious that my position has been given up 😭
Thank you for the reassurance! This definitely helped ease my nervesIf it helps, last cycle this was a concern too.

Congrats! When did you interview?received an acceptance letter today! if anyone else is considering attending feel free to say hi, i’d love to chat about the program
thanks!! i ended up interviewing over zoom a little later because i couldn’t make it to the interview day in november - i think it was the first week of december but i can dig into my email if you want the specific date!Congrats! When did you interview?
That's right, I forgot there was an in-person date (I also was a zoom interview later).thanks!! i ended up interviewing over zoom a little later because i couldn’t make it to the interview day in november - i think it was the first week of december but i can dig into my email if you want the specific date!
Usually it’s a pretty good chance depending on where you are on the list. The international list has a pretty high turnover rate because they usually apply to lots of place and UPEI isn’t always their first choice.International alternate list. Anyone know how often people get pulled off the list?
Unfortunately it seems they base interview invites solely off of academic average ranking in each pool, so I do not think the number of times you have applied would have an influence. But just because you didn't get an interview last year doesn't necessarily mean you won't get an interview this year, even if your marks are lower. The minimum average to get an interview in each pool fluctuates year to year so you never know! And if you do end up feeling like you need to improve your grades you could try to take some classes this upcoming fall if you have any prescribed courses that are on the lower end. Such as taking a second year math or stats or chem etc. They would count towards your class of 2028 application as long as you take at least three classes.Do you guys think that persistence towards applying has any benefit to getting an interview? Third time NS applicant here and I'm feeling more doubtful about my application than I did last year. My average was higher last year than it is this year and I'm just starting to worry as I graduated from my undergrad this past spring so I can't really do anything to strengthen my average. Feeling discouraged 🙁.
I completely understand! This is also my third time applying, and I haven’t gotten an interview yet. I’m trying not to feel discouraged but I’m actually dreading the emails coming out in March.Do you guys think that persistence towards applying has any benefit to getting an interview?

Well last year it was on March 25th (and they were late looking at applications), the year before that was March 16th. So I'd say somewhere in between there. Wish it was sooner!What is everyone’s guess for interview invite dates? Always seems to be after St. Patrick’s day.
I have been wondering the same. As of last night the strike deadline is set for March 19th, so if an agreement is not met by then (looking highly unlikely that will happen) the strike will take effect. Hopefully the AVC/UPEI registrar's office takes this into account and get invites out next week before the 19th rolls around!Did anyone else hear about the possible strike that may happen this month at UPEI? Wondering if/how that will effect us who are waiting for news on our application. 🫤
Current AVC student here! I'm not aware of the timeline for admissions for this year, but I wouldn't be surprised if things were a bit delayed with the strike. That being said, we did receive an email saying that the Academic and Student Affairs office will continue normal operations during the strike! I anticipate they'll probably be busy with rescheduling exams, rotations, etc. but hopefully this means your invites won't be sent out too late, I remember how stressful the anticipation was last year 😐Did anyone else hear about the possible strike that may happen this month at UPEI? Wondering if/how that will effect us who are waiting for news on our application. 🫤
Yeah me too. Hopefully they don’t go on strike next week or we won’t hear for even longer 🙁I have been checking my phone every 2 minutes. I hope we don’t have to wait until next week!
This is how it started:I just received two emails from them but have to go to work and am too scared to open
I got just one emailjust one or two?!? What did it say at beginning?!
I’m not sure of the exact differences since I’m international, but I asked about an application review back at the beginning of February. I had emailed the [email protected] address and heard back the following week. The reply said to contact the admissions assistant Tracy Carmichael. On the admissions timeline webpage, she’s listed as the contact for Atlantic Canadian and international applicants. Maybe give that a try if you haven’t already?Didn’t get an invite again. Feeling so discouraged 🙁 Wish they gave more feedback other than the general “you scored lower than those accepted”. Been trying for two years for more information on what to do and never get a response.
