  1. Agree with high_hopes about rent, but also if you do not speak French well, your social life in Montreal might not be limited. Day to day activities are fine, but it might be awkward to be in a group of friends who prefer to talk to each other in French.
  2. I think it came on a Monday? I'm not sure
  3. After I got recommended for assessment, it took a long time for me to receive the official offer. This was during the strike. But since the strike ended, it should be faster now Congrats Nat!!! I don't think requesting money back is a thing, because it went through OUAC. I tried with a different school but they won't give me the refund.
  4. I got my offer from Carleton (from the Grad Supervisor) and then an official offer on the system. The strike slows the process down but that doesn't mean offers haven't been sent out.
  5. Flip a coin. When it's falling down you will find yourself wishing for a side. And that's the one you should go with. But if I was in your shoes, I'm going with A.
  6. I am deciding between a few offers and without going into details, I just want to ask about the advantages and disadvantages of going to a PhD program where my cohort would be one of the first (not the literal first though!). Nobody has graduated with a PhD from this program yet. Otherwise I am in love with the program. Just want to make sure I consider all the pros and cons that I might not have thought of yet. This is in the Humanities/Social Sciences field, if that matters.
  7. What's the program at Queen's? Gender Studies or Cultural Studies? Are you Canadian, British, or international? Do you have plans for immigration? What's the funding like? Without knowing further details, all I can say is: most people, when hearing about Cambridge and Queen's, will very likely choose Cambridge for the prestige. It's almost common sense. However, you had to ask the question, so it's clear that your heart isn't 100% for Cambridge, in which case I might think Queen's is a better fit for you. That being said, who's the supervisor at Cambridge? Is there more than one person who can support you? CUST at Queen's allows you a committee of three- do you have 3 people you want to work with?
  8. I wouldn't email them again. Perhaps email them again after the first week of April.
  9. The admin staff at Carleton are on strike and I've been told this will cause some delay in sending out offers Thank you T-Boy, I got accepted last week (Communication) and my status changed to Reviewed by the School of Graduate Studies (or something).
  10. Thank you!! I applied to the PhD in Information Studies
  11. I had a dream about getting offers ugh. I will be so crushed when I get rejected....
  12. They are trying to choose between 2 schools. Sorry this isn’t really answering your question I’m also wait listed for a different program so I know how you feel
