工作学习 / 求学深造 / WHAT's this mean? Your application has been accepted by the departments committee, now a faculty member must choose you to supervise. -nadirtozenith(nadir); 2003-4-16 (#1143450@0)

who told you that? I believe the meaning is we have received your application officially. and to be admitted a falcult must choose you to supervise. -nadirtozenith(nadir); 2003-4-16 (#1143881@0)

I asked them, only got this answer. -nadirtozenith(nadir); 2003-4-17 (#1145469@0)

sorry. I am dying to holp your explanation is true. But, I am also confused here. you know. if they say "will" instead of "must" I believe your translation is much more possible -nadirtozenith(nadir); 2003-4-16 (#1143918@0)

我承认我说的不准确，我的意思是如果有导师你就能入学，如果没导师就不好说了。现在看来系里这关过了，关键在于有没有导师要你。所以我说你赶紧联系导师，抓住机会！ -lang(lang); 2003-4-16 (#1143930@0)

thanks langlang you are so nice :) -nadirtozenith(nadir); 2003-4-16 (#1143988@0)

接受了你的申请，但需要有导师指导你应该是你的条件符合录取的标准，但需要有导师愿意指导你。
最好抓紧一点，符合录取标准但由于没有导师指导/资助(offer)而没有最终录取的情况是有过的。 -hzgxy(知我者谓我心忧); 2003-4-16 {142} (#1143917@0)

thanks a lot. I believe your explanation is reasonable. you see , I never tried to contact a professor. Thanks a lot. Whatever, The meaning is ! I will try!! thanks all you guys -nadirtozenith(nadir); 2003-4-16 (#1143926@0)
yes, I was one of the victims of this situation 5 years ago in UBC. To nadir, Hurry up. -yuanzidan(原子弹); 2003-4-16 (#1143953@0)

Thank you, unclear bomb, you call nadir why not zenith? -nadirtozenith(nadir); 2003-4-16 (#1143994@0)

如果你自己没有确定导师而直接向系里申请，以我原来工作过的系为例子，是这样处理的：将你的材料放在系办秘书的counter上，每个教授过目一遍，对你有兴趣的就会在你的名字边签上他的名字，如果有人签了之后通常其他人则不会再看，没人签大概会在系办放一段时间看谁有兴趣。这种申请方式对自己被动一些，但有一些还是能申请到。 -wiwi(炜炜); 2003-4-16 {122} (#1144019@0)

那您说现在再联系导师还来得及吗？我的确没联系过。另外联系一个好还是多个？ thanks -nadirtozenith(nadir); 2003-4-16 (#1144189@0)

你试试看吧。通常教授们之间是不太通气的，但我也见过有的工作中的同事关系特好的，一起休coffee、lunch。这个我真的就说不清了。 -wiwi(炜炜); 2003-4-16 (#1144249@0)

If I tried to contact professors several times before, and they didn't respond. Should I try agin? If no professor contact with me, can I get offer? thanks! -xiaoer(王小二); 2003-4-16 (#1144529@0)

your situation is exactly same to me. -nadirtozenith(nadir); 2003-4-17 (#1145481@0)

maybe this is the answerIf the decision of the GEC is positive and you have applied for the thesis or project option, final admission depends on identifying a faculty member willing to supervise and financially support the candidate and approval by the Faculty of Graduate Studies.

If the decision of the GEC is positive and you have applied for the course-work option, final admission depends on the number of spots reserved for course-work students and approval by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. -nadirtozenith(nadir); 2003-4-17 {479} (#1145232@0)
