Did anyone who already received an acceptance to the MGA hear back from them? Are we supposed to reply to that email sent by Megan Ball? I assumed it was a mass email and they would send me more information online or in the mail, but now I'm thinking I was supposed to actually reply...

Thanks that definitely does help. I got into International Public Policy at UCL and International Political Economy at LSE. Politics and economics is my forte and what I'm most interested in. And having grown up in the GTA and spending a lot of time downtown (my mother practically works on UofT campus ... that's why I chose to do my undergrad at McGill), London just offers the opportunity new. And in terms of negative things about Munk, I'm also really interested to hear what people have to say. A friend of mine is a current student at Munk and she really tried to sell the program to me (and succeeded for the most part). I know some people are sometimes weary of being associated with the name Peter Munk and his involvement with Barrick Gold. Giant gold-mining companies generally don't have a very good reputation especially if you want to go the human rights route.

I guess we both have a lot to consider. I think I'm going to wait until I hear back from all my other applications and make a giant pro/con list :/ Has anyone received the admissions package or know when we are supposed to respond by?

I just got an offer today as well, although my email didn't say anything about funding... Also under the UofT admissions page it still says that my application is 'Under Review', did that happen to anyone else? I'm really torn about what to do. I also got into LSE and UCL in London and having grown up in the GTA (did my undergrad at McGill) Toronto isn't that exciting for me anymore. Although I guess I should base my decision on more than where I want to live. Anyone else torn about accepting offers? What do you guys think?
