I'm from a physics background, so its not like I'm giving up lucrative work elsewhere... As to jobs, I think it depends on the area you're in. Mathematical Biology is growing pretty quickly as a discipline, especially if you're into anything health-related. So I hope, anyway. At least it'll be fun to study... I sure wish they'd let us know - that email was quite the teaser. I have another acceptance I'm very pleased with, but I really do love the Pacific Northwest.

I'm also into mathematical biology... they have such a cool program at UBC. Hopefully there's room for the both of us. And yeah, being a master's student there will be awfully, awfully tight. I'm a little scared of that too. They say they're really specific about funding in their admissions offers, so hopefully there at least won't be any uncertainty! The really tight money would probably only be for the first year, so it could be survived.

Yeah I'm hoping its a good sign. I applied for the PhD, but realized later I wasn't really 'qualified' for it (I'm not particularly familiar with the Canadian school system); so I called the Graduate advisor and had them change my status to applying for the MS, but I don't know if that actually got done. They sound like they got swamped with applications this year. I replied discussing my interest in the various projects, and got a short reply linking me to some relevant work. Haven't heard anything else. Yourself? Good luck to you! What subfield are you interested in? Which department did you apply through?

I got an email from a professor feeling out whether or not our interests aligned. Sadly the email was also very clear that it was not an acceptance.
