Nope! Ontario University, I do not think they are being honest with their students, I think for the majority of the class they are only looking at grades, I had friends who got in that had one sales position on their resume and 2 reference letters, however, they had straight A's for all 4 years and they got in 1st round, while I understand that academia is important, it is a professional program, if they are going to choose solely by grades like a Master of Arts instead of the holistic approach they are promoting they at least need to be honest with people and not waste their time and money. p.s. check your social, promotions, or junk folder! That's where I found mine since it was a generic letter converted to an image.

LOL just got rejected and I had a dean's statement, 4 years of professional experience and internships within my undergrad, an A average in the last two years along with 4 references even though people with nothing on their resumes and minimal reference letters got in just because they had good grades for a full four years for a "professional program that takes a holistic approach" this does not seem correct. Everyone go check their other folders within their social or promotions email thats where mine was, or possibly another folder. Queens was my first choice because it was shorter but so happy just to know after the effort put into the application! whattttttupppppppp Queens MPA class of 2016!!

No problem @rdn! Yes, it is very concerning how long they are taking with these, it is pretty much near the end of admissions. I accepted my offer at Queen's and I am very happy with it, although, because I worked so hard on the applications I would like to know what the results of U of T were.

I called and they said that they were being slower with admission responses this year! She said to expect a round to go out this week, so it would be the afternoon or sometime this week! @stressulcer I got accepted to Queen's MPA too, I think it's an awesome choice as well! Has anyone else been accepted to Queen's for the Masters of Public Administration at all?
