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.

I think it came on a Monday? I'm not sure

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.

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.

My two polar opposite program options both have major cons
A2018 replied to megtree's topic in Decisions, Decisions
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. -
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.

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?

I wouldn't email them again. Perhaps email them again after the first week of April.

Yes! Second this. Andrea is so helpful and she always replies very promptly
-
Did anyone hear from the PhD program yet?
-
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).
-
Thank you!! I applied to the PhD in Information Studies
-
I had a dream about getting offers ugh. I will be so crushed when I get rejected....

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
-
I don’t know them personally but I saw someone on Facebook saying they got accepted. Not the same program as yours but I got accepted to Carleton as an international student.

Acceptance Offer Deadline on March 14
A2018 replied to 12o'clock's question in Questions and Answers
Yes, it is common to politely request an extension. You don't have anything to lose by asking -
Thanks a lot I'm waitlisted (at a different program) so I was just wondering
-
I was wondering what's your deadline to accept their offer?
-
There's also a strike going on at Carleton so the whole process of sending out offers and stuff is also delayed

"Let's just TALK about it..." Decision Edition
A2018 replied to Bayesian1701's topic in Decisions, Decisions
I got an offer to a very exciting program but I am still waiting to hear about funding (should be some time this week) and I'm just wrecked with anxiety that the funding package will not be enough for me to go -
I don't think they actually update the status on the system. I was offered admission via email first but my status on Carleton Central still said "preliminary review required" until they sent out an official (formal) offer - hope that makes you feel a bit better! (To be clear, this is for the PhD in Communication. I also applied to another program at Carleton last cycle and got accepted, and my status on Carleton Central was updated frequently)
-
I don't even know anyone who already got accepted aside from the one person on the Result page lol Thank you very much for the update! At least there's now a timeline to look forward to

Going back for a Master's degree from Harvard is always a good idea.

Applying to NPSIA for 2018
A2018 replied to sandradee's topic in Statement of Purpose, Personal History, Diversity
It's not the "east" thing... It's definitely a Carleton thing! Many other schools in Ontario have 3.0 credit courses too lol
