Thanks for the insight, selecttext and Nerd_For_Life, much appreciated!

Does anyone know whether Canadian schools will offer you more funding if you let them know about a better offer from another school? I've seen some of the Americans talk about leveraging, but I don't know if it's done here. Anyone have any insight on this? Would be much appreciated! And to all of those who are waiting, hang in there!

For me, it went preliminary review required, then recommended for assessment for more than a month, and finally now it's at review in progress by department. I'm almost certain I didn't have review in progress before this, as I've been checking pretty obsessively! It could just be that my department does things differently. Definitely! These statuses are supposed to give us information, but instead they seem rather mysterious! Positive thoughts are the way to go indeed, it keeps us sane during the long wait.

I don't know if it's universal for all programs, as my status has been recommended for assessment since mid-January, but this week it changed to "review in progress by department." I'm applying for history though, so it might be different than your department. Just FYI, sorry if that's a downer!
