I received an acceptance from Carleton last week  
Due date for response is March 21. 
Still waiting to hear from Queens, SFU, and UVIC. From reading other posts it looks like Queens has sent out a first round of offers. Has anyone received news from SFU or UVIC? 
 

I haven’t heard anything from SFU. Hopefully before March, 21st!! 

Congrats on Carlton!

Hi Everyone!

Just to let everyone applying to the MPP program at SFU. I contacted Dawn at the School of Public Policy regarding receiving a response. She states " we will commence the acceptance process in March and it will run until June (or before once the cohort is full)". I hope this helps. I am really hoping that we hear something in March. Honestly, I don't think I can wait too long.

For those of you who got into Ontario schools, what are your stats/grades? I am sorry if that sounds rude...

I only applied to SFU as a domestic student as I want to live in Vancouver at this time.  I don't haven't found any information about applicants in previous years that have applied to SFU.

My stats as I applied to SFU are:

• GPA: 3.3 ( My grades a bit all over the place as I had to full time and go to school full time.  I am not using this as an excuse but as an explanation of what happened to my grades)
• Undergraduate degrees: Bachelor of Social Work from UVic and Bachelor of Science in Psychiatric Nursing at Douglas College.
• Work/Volunteer Experience: I have over 10 years working at Fraser Health Authority as a Dialysis Technician and Nurse. Volunteered with MS Society of Canada, Patient Voices Network, Greater Vancouver Food Bank and Access Pro Bono.  I was affiliated with College of Social Work and Psychiatric Nursing in BC.

I suppose I will "Keep calm and wait on"

For those of you applying to SFU, I heard we hear back sometime in early to mid March. Last year, a thread posting seem to indicate that it can happen as early as late February. Anxiety is killing me. I am really hoping that it doesn’t take a long time. SFU’s grad portal doesn’t provide a status update on their application process.

@StrawberryFields67 yes, I just applied to SFU. I can’t move at the moment so schools outside of BC are not in the cards at the moment. Otherwise, I would have applied to U of T or Carlton. I also wanted an in-class experience as my second bachelor degree in Social Work was online. This is my first time applying to graduate school. I hope it turns out well. I didn’t care for the UBC program due to price and course design. I also heard that SFU’s program is like Carlton’s.

Hi Everyone! 

I also applied to SFU as a domestic student. Whoever started this tread.. Thank you! It’s been so hard to find information after the application process.
