    Yeah I got the big letter in Feb saying my application had been put on the A-list and that decisions would be made on the 1st of April - not sure if this also means mailed on 1st of April or by what postal service. I'm in Victoria so it should take as long as possible for mail to get to me here from Ottawa. Haven't heard yet, hopefully will in the next couple of days.
  2. Having been accepted to McGill for both a BA and an MA let me tell you they take forever and are usually the last Canadian school you will hear from on any matter other than Concordia who are slightly worse. So yes I'm still waiting on McGill and also heard from UBC like 6 weeks ago. WTF?
  3. I'd say the faculty were hit and miss, some were very enthusiastic, others had a certain disdain for the MA students versus those in the PhD program. I've been out of school for a year and half so I did most of the PhD application work myself so I can't really comment on faculty helpfulness in that regard. In terms of faculty department you have a lot of latitude in choosing your courses. Mine were exclusively in PoliSci or the Harris School (public policy) but you can take courses in other fields such as history. I'm glad I went in the end but I was in it for the international relations so I don't know how useful it would be for a history student.
  4. Well I did my MA in that program and have so far been accepted for a PhD at Columbia, NYU, and UBC, as well as being waitlisted at Harvard, and I had friends there who have ended up at Harvard, NYU, Chicago, NYU, American, McGill and WashU, so I'd say pretty good.
  5. Has anybody who did get accepted gotten their package? I'm still waiting on more info about funding then the brief mention in the email.
  6. All I can say is that I'm wait listed at Harvard and if you do choose Stanford please informed Harvard promptly! I will love you forever through the internet and it will provide you with a bounty of positive karma if you believe in that kind of hooey.
