Thank you for your email and checking in regarding your MEng application.When do we expect a decision from them? It's already mid-June.
I am sorry to hear that you have been having difficulty securing a supervisor. Selection of applicants depends on whether a faculty member is available to supervise your graduate program, requires more students to join their research team, and/or has the funds to support other graduate students.
I do understand your need to respond to other universities, however, I am unfortunately unable to provide you with a final decision date regarding MEng program admissions at this time. It is not too late to secure a supervisor, so in the meantime, I would recommend that you continue to contact faculty members to see if they will be able to supervise you.
Applicants are expected to contact directly by email those ECE faculty members who are in their anticipated field of research. ECE faculty member’s area of research and individual home pages can be found at http://www.ece.uvic.ca/faculty.shtml.
This is what they wrote to me when I inquired them about the M.Eng decisions.
