Actually hold your horses applicants. I spoke with NPSIA today and they said that it means that we have passed the first stage, but we can still be turned down. I got excited too, but they said that a decision will not be reached until mid March.
Hey!!!!
It means you should start celebrating... An offer will be made to you by March 4th. For more details check the link below. I am in the same boat as you. If you are applying to NPSIA, I will see you in September then. http://www1.carleton.ca/socialwork/2013/2013-14-msw-applicants-admissions-decisions
