Hi everyone, I received an email yesterday from the Graduate Program Coordinator on behalf of the Director of Graduate Studies accepting me into their graduate program. I have been instructed to respond by April 1st through email in order to accept or decline the offer. At this point, I am torn between two schools. Should I acknowledge that I have received the offer of admission and will let them know my decision as soon as possible? Alternatively, do you think it would be better to hold off on responding until I know where I would like to go? Thanks!

Around 6000$. School 1 offered me 8000$ (fellowship and TAship). School 2 offers 2000$ to all new MA students. However, I would be eligible for a TAship in my second year. Also, I already work on campus at school 1. I would be forced to quit my job and look for something else. There are just so many things to consider.

Thanks for the response! School 2 offered me funding but I would definitely have to take out a small loan. They offer the same amount to every MA student. School 1 would give me almost 6000$ more. I guess I am just attracted to the very strong reputation of school 2.

Hi there, I am having difficulty deciding between two Canadian schools (MA in English). Any help would be greatly appreciated! School 1: - I am completing my undergraduate degree there. - I know all of the professors. - I already work on campus and could keep my current employment. - They offered me a TAship and funding. - However, the school is not nearly as reputable as school 2. School 2: - The school is very highly regarded (recognized internationally). - However, they only offer TAships to second year students. - They offered me less funding than school 1 (they offer the same amount to every student entering into the MA program). Both schools have great professors who specialize in my field. Any thoughts?

I'm currently finishing up my undergraduate degree at Concordia. Montreal is a great city, everyone loves it! Good luck with UOttawa and congratulations again!

I was accepted with funding as well. Were you offered a TAship? Did you apply to McGill too? About the tuition, I am not 100% sure. Does this link help at all? http://www.concordia.ca/admissions/tuition-and-fees/graduate/regulations/ Congratulations by the way! Let me know if you have any specific questions about the program, I am very familar with Concordia.

Has anyone received any news from Concordia yet?
