Ikari Gendo Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The title says all. A friend of mine is offered admission from Simon Fraser and I am on the waitlist for Alberta. I am particularly interested in Calgary, British Columbia, Waterloo, Western Ontario and McGill. To φ or not to φ and Dysexlia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApplyingToGradSchools Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 When I was applying last year to Canadian MA programs, SFU was always the earliest. Then sometime late February to mid-March came the others such as Western, UBC, UofT, Queen's, etc. Ikari Gendo and Dysexlia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cogsguy Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I only applied to PhD programs. But if anyone has questions about SFU, feel free to message me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
753982 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I strongly considered SFU, but I ran out of money for apps and their app fee was around $120 for US applicants, so I didn't end up applying there. Their placement record seems impressive, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullvine Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I applied to the University of Alberta, University of Calgary, University of Victoria, Simon Fraser University, and Western University, and so far I've received offers from Simon Fraser University and Western. Simon Fraser was my first choice, so it looks like that's where I am going to end up this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modalities Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Anyone know when UofT will start releasing offers? Also: they accepted a handful of their own undergraduates last season. Isn't this a bit unusual for grad programs? matchamatcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: they accepted a handful of their own undergraduates last season. Isn't this a bit unusual for grad programs? U of T started releasing non-fellowship offers yesterday. It's possible they still have more to release but maybe not? I've only heard it as a guideline to students applying that they shouldn't have all 3 degrees from the same institution, so it might not be a guideline on the adcom side of things. It may also be that since it's the highest ranked Canadian school, they do what they want. EDIT: I didn't realize I was in the MA thread. They release MA decisions after PhD decisions, so maybe this week the MA applicants will hear back?

abbyecrt555 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 @Ikari Gendo Not quite an MA program, but I received an offer from McGill's MScPH program early February. Other candidates have also been getting them since then too. Just a guess from others' offers, but I think they might sift through candidates' applications and send out offers for favorable candidates in waves. Their admission deadline was Dec 16, 2016. Hope this helps. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullvine Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 If anyone on here has applied to the University of Victoria's MA Philosophy program, keep an eye out for an email. I just received an offer from their program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
