Well, got into UBC's Dual Program. Should I just accept right away or should I stay with McGill's program? Anyone currently in either McGill's program or UBC's Dual program that can help me out here?

I didn't bet on it, I'm waiting on UBC but they don't send out their decisions before March, looks like. I just bit the bullet and accepted McGill's offer. Accepting isn't like legally binding as far as I know, if UBC takes me I may very well not do McGill's program. The $300 deposit is a real gouger but I'm not going to do what I did in my undergrad and stay with one program just because I already payed a deposit.

Has anyone else gotten their decision for McGill's Information Studies Program yet? I got accepted because I submitted my app on the faux deadline (Jan 15th) and have until Feb 15 to decide (the actual deadline). Anyone else in the same boat?

I'm doing archivist work right now, don't know where the archivists' forum is so I'm here. Applying to University of British Columbia (duel, will prefer MAS to MLIS if it comes down to it, I know, a gamble), University of Washington, McGill, University of Alberta, University of Western Ontario, Nanyang Technological, and University of Hong Kong. Getting everything thing done before December, except for the Asia schools because they don't open till after Dec 1st. What is this about MLIS not being competitive? Even so, it's gotta be that McGill and UBC are pretty high up there right?
