I applied via Fast Track on the 24th, but still haven't received an email that they have even gotten my application... should I get in contact with the admissions department, or do they usually take a few days before sending out an email?

They didn't send me any status checker or contact me at all until my admission decision so don't worry about it. You'll hear soon! Good Luck!

Thanks a bunch!

I feel you man, I submitted mine Fast Track on the 25th, I swear I check my email all the time now...

Mine took a little over 3 weeks, I went complete 10/2, but I think the fast track applicants are hearing back in like 5 days or less.

Thanks! I read somewhere that they usually do scholarships in December, but I have no idea if this is true

Did people who were accepted write the "optional additional statement?"

No I didnt do any of the optional stuff

Can anyone tell me how long it took from your status to be "Under review" for a decision to come out? Saw the time from the submit date (non-fast track) at 3 weeks. But mine just switched to under review yesterday so I wanted to know if I should expect a decision soon.

Mine was 12 days from "Under review" to acceptance.

Same question. I am curious, too. Also, does BC require to submit a resume? I don't see resume in application requirement list on their website though.

I received an e-mail from BC for Fast Track and fee waiver. I already started the application but have not submitted it yet, and I do not remember whether there was an Option to select Fast Track at the very beginning. Can somebody tell me how to make sure your application is submitted via Fast Track.

Thank you

Thank you

I submitted the Fast Track and there was no option at any point. I think its something they designate on their end it seems! My file went from complete to "under review" in less than an hour so I assume I did it right.

[Law1491]

Thank you, agl520. Good luck

does anyone think writing a "why BC" statement would be looked upon positively?

I didn't write one, but I don't see anyway it could be looked upon negatively unless you have terrible grammar and spelling.

I just included that in my personal statement, which admittedly was on the longer side, 3 pages

I have a little free time in my semester coming up so I think Im just going to write one.

Does BC usually accept via email first before status checker? I've been under review for more than 10 days and I've been obsessively checking. Just wanted to ask if email comes first so I will stop checking like a crazy person. I am non-fast track.
