My Dad after being rejected by my top choice, McGill (In Quebec): "Cuz you're not French?." and now as I wait to hear from another school: "Don't get your hopes up." Thanks

Indeed, Ottawa has its charms. I currently live in Montreal, am from Toronto and lived two years in Ottawa. It was quite an adjustment for me moving there from Toronto. It is a government city and a family city. Perfect for raising a family, not so perfect for me. However, if accepted into Carleton I will make the best of it and take advantage of its "quietness" to focus on my studies - with the occasional weekend trip to Montreal of course.

I've applied to Carleton's MA Sociology program and the wait is killing me! My status says "Recommended for Assessment." It wasn't my top choice, but now it's my only hope. I was rejected by McGill a few weeks back, which came as no surprise. It seems like a good program, I just don't care for Ottawa so much.
