Looks like I'll be headed to Carleton this September. All this info has been great, just wondering if any leases come up in July/August? I don't want to be on the hook for 4 months of rent to catch the May leases (I'm paying rent right now where I live)

Finally got my acceptance to UVic MPA on Campus!! Ironically, now that I've got it, I've found myself leaning much more towards Carleton. But still happy to have been accepted to 2/3 places I applied to! I was concerned I wouldn't get in anywhere

Congrats!! I'm still waiting to hear back, I'm assuming I'm relying on someone to decline before they select me. All this waiting is killing me! haha

I'm waiting for the On Campus results from UVic I was told early April, so I'm hoping everyone (on campus and online) hears soon! Good luck!

I wasn't anxious until about 3 weeks ago. I've never checked my email this much in my life. I have a tight deadline on Monday and I'm praying that I get the decision from the school where I live before I accept an offer out of town. Good luck to everyone! No news is good news! At least those waiting weren't outright rejected

The second I told people about the offer in Ottawa, I`ve had tons of people asking me when I`m moving, what I`m doing with my animals, and also any plans for the summer are now `We have to do this before you leave!` An offer doesn`t mean I`m going there! Gah.

I haven't yet, I'm still waiting on my top choice (where I did my undergrad and where I currently live) to either accept me or reject me, before I make the decision. As much as I would love to move across the country, I have things that would be better left where I am (namely my horse haha)

I am absolutely thrilled with how things turned out, I applied to my long shot and got an early acceptance. Ironically my two safety schools have waitlisted me. Goes to show that there really is no thing as a safety school! (Also at least try for one long shot, you never know what'll happen!)

Erm - I meant waitlist - not wait lost. (Stupid phone)

I think the 'unofficial' wait list is my least favorite. I don't mind a timely email keeping me informed that I'm on a wait lost, but when the University doesn't even email you and you find out after emailing them that you're on a waitlist of sorts - and there's no information on when you may get a decision. This was an incoherent rant haha

Congrats errath! If you accept Carleton, we might be classmates!

I feel your pain! I was able to get an extension on my offer from Carleton, but when I emailed my other top choice they said I might not know until the beginning of April, and I have to give Carleton an answer by the 31st I can just pay a $300 deposit and accept my Carleton offer and then withdraw if my other school finally lets me know, but I'd hate to eat that $300 edited to say: Also my other school is my alma mater and that application was due 2 weeks before Carleton's, and I got it in a week early. So I've been waiting even longer, and I'm getting anxious and whiiiiny.

Thanks Kaitri! I got a quick email back and they extended my deadline a week. Hopefully I hear from the other school before then!

For all those that are wondering about UVic MPA, I emailed them and they said that the decisions would be out in late March. I'm hoping it comes out before my deadline for Carleton

I have the same problem! I got accepted into Carleton (which I didn't think I had a chance of getting into) but they gave a small window of accepting or declining the offer. I just emailed my other choice and they said they wont be sending out offers until the end of March, which runs past my deadline for Carleton. I've just emailed Carleton asking for an extension, and I'm hoping this doesn't annoy them. Is there a chance Carleton could rescind the offer? Now I'm nervous haha

This wasn't for Political Science (MPA instead), but I saw my status in Carleton Central change to "Review in Progress" and a couple days later a decision was made and I got an email (an acceptance, yay!). I'd been checking the website fairly regularly so when I saw the status change to "Review in Progress" it was only a day or two later I got the email. Good luck!!

Thanks! I'm still waiting on the university I did my Bachelors at to make their decision (I still live there) I didn't think I'd get into Carleton at all, so I never considered having to make that decision. It'll be a tough one for sure (if I have to make it haha) Thank you!!! I had gotten convinced I wouldn't get in anywhere, so this was a happy surprise

Due to a busy workday I hadn't checked my email all day. I checked it just after work, not expecting anything and I saw that I got an acceptance from Carleton!! I really didn't expect it because my application was a couple days late. I almost fell down in shock! Simple email just offering admission. I had to read it a few times to make sure I wasn't misreading it

Just got my acceptance to MPA by email from Carleton!! I'm ecstatic!! I didn't think I had a hope in getting in there, I applied on a whim because I would love to go there. I was accepting my fate that I might not get in anywhere, and this just made my year! So relieved!

I got a letter from my University that I received my Bachelor's from (where I also applied to grad school) and I freaked out. Turned out to be a request for money, since I'm an Alumni.

Congrats!! My status on my application to Carleton MPA program changed to "Under Review" - I accidentally submitted mine a couple days late (was used to being able to submit documents right away, not wait for a few days, whoops!) , so I assume I'll be at the end of the line for admissions/rejections. I'm so nervous!

I did the same thing but it was in the objective of my resume. I totally forgot that I had anything about the program in there, and I submitted it saying "Master of Public Administration" (the other 2 programs I applied to) instead of "Master of Public Service" - whoops! I tried to email and re-submit (since most are fairly nice and will help you out when dumb mistakes happen) but they said it was final Ah well!

This is the exact reason I didn't apply to more! I only applied to 3, but now in hindsight I probably should have just avoided my politeness and asked them to submit their letters to a few more schools. I talked to a professor (who I know in a different capacity, more casual) from my alma mater and she told me that she gets mad when she is asked to submit letters for more than 4 places and it reflects in her letters. So I didn't want to run that risk, in case it was a University trend, since both my referees are from the same University.

I got an email the other day on my phone where the subject line read : "YOU'RE ACCEPTED!!!!!" Needless to say I freaked out, and it turned out to be a spam email. I was not impressed.

I applied to the Public Administration program, and they also extended the deadline from the 15th, to the 31st. The poster above me had some really good points! Also my friend who got into the same program (who also went to UVic for her undergrad, just like me) said she didn't hear back until mid-March. So don't worry!
