  1. I don't know if I can wait. I am already too old (late 20's). And I don't know if I will be able to get in the program after few years because its hard for me to get good reference especially academic. Unfortunately, I am not eligible for any funding I have B + average in my undergrad. I have been offered RA positions. I can't make more than 300 per month with that RA position. But the thing is I absoultely LOVE the program. I have been trying so hard to find courses/certificate related to that program. In Canada there are only few schools offering that program. My question is how safe it is to take 50,000 loan for two year of my grad studies ? I am just so scare because I know if I will have trouble paying my loan back noone (family, friend) is going to help me....
  2. I thought its easy to go to grad school in US. I heard US schools offer lot of funding especially for grad student and also it is easy to get in with low GPA. I personally know someone who is in grad school in US with C + average But yes I heard that US schools for undergraduate level is not affordable.
  3. I am earning around 5K with my undergrad right now. Now I am considering a different option if MASTER's degree is even worth because I can also earn same $ 70,000 with my undergraduate degree after 2 years with more experience. But I am not sure if I will earn more than 70k after my masters because the field I am planning to go is not a major field in Canada but there is lot of opportunites in US. I am not a big money lover but again money is everything... The reason I am going to masters is that I absolutely LOVE the research of the advisor who accepted me. But again I am not sure if I should go considering financial situations....
  4. I am not an international student. I am a domestic student and I only applied in Canadian schools. I am not sure if you understand it right. I am not an undergradaute student. I graduated almost a year ago.
  5. I have question from domesitic students in Canada. I have received an offer for UBC program but I am not getting funding for the program. I am out of province student. My advisor willing to offer me part-time position in his lab which is hardly $ 350 per month but my monthly expenses will be 3 times more in my grad school approximately 11,00 per month I don't know if I should go for grad school. I am thinking of taking loans from government during my grad schools which will be approximatley 60,000 for my two years of master program. Anyone suggest me anything if taking loans is a right options. I heard lot of scary stories of people (in US) who are in great debt and are not able to pay back thier loans. What happen in Canada ? How people pay their loans when they graduate ? Is it stressful to take 60 k loan ? What are the drawbacks of taking loans ? Thanks
  6. No deffereing is not an option. My program is related to Mathematics but not exactly same thing.The program don't usaully get funding. But I know the professor had lot of funded project going on. I estimated that I will need $ 25000 per year to survive which means 50,000 for two years. I know when I will graduate my starting salary will be around $ 75,000. But again I am confuse how I will manage my two years because its my first time living by myself. Where can I get loan/bursaries for my masters program ? bank or is there any govenment agencies ?
  7. I recently received an offered at UBC for master program. I love the program and research of my advisor. But I am not getting any kind of funding like CGS-M or UBC scholarship. I am out of province student. I am so confuse if it is worth accepting the offer. Because I can't imagine how I will spend two years of master without funding. I still have to pay back my undergrauate student loan. If I will borrow loan from government then when I will graduate with master I will be in debt of more than 50,000. I have no one to support my studies Is there anyone who can suggest something in this situation. Should I go for my masters ? why and why not ?
  8. Please help My award change to NOT OFFERED for UBC and Alternate for McMaster University. I received admission offer for both university. I am very much interested in going to UBC. Do anyone know if "not offered" status ever change to "offered". What is the meaning of not offered. Is this mean I am not even on the waitlist ??? Please help I have applied for CGS-M for the first time. Thanks
