Really sorry to hear that @T-boy I think official letters sooner rather than later are a good practice. Not sure if may be you had been kept on a waitlist or what before they responded but it is just ridiculous how they handle applicants! Yes they know how much we want to get into their schools but they should regard that as a need to be professional and courteous at all times to applicants. Sorry again. Are there other schools you applied to? Has the status changed on Carleton Central
-
I find their lack of keeping within the standard time of giving responses 2-3 months after deadlines being in January, to be very unprofessional. I fear that it doesn’t look good for our candidature, but they still should just inform students within a reasonable time frame.
-
Have you called them to ask?
-
Has anyone heard back from Carleton this week?
-
Congratulations
-
I called Carleton today and they mentioned that they have been slow because of the strike but shall be sending out information to people this week and hopefully next.
-
I think the reason they probably didn’t inform candidates about waitlists may be because of the strike. Strike only ended last week. It sucks they have kept many student just waiting and informing people is just the most professional thing to do. Am still hoping that they can get information out to student this week who have yet to be informed as well.

I am curious.. did your acceptance come on a Friday or middle of the week?
-
Yes congratulations Nat, my application still says recommended for assessment but I have lost hope. Thought schools save Friday’s for acceptances... thought it was a thing. anyways... am still anxiously refreshing my Carleton Central page and outlook account.

Hey! I have been lurking around on this forum since I have not heard back yet from the school. Still hopeful, but at this rate it seems rather doubtful of an acceptance. In any case, for those who were waiting for response from the school, have you guys heard anything? For those who are at the school have you heard any news that decisions have all been made and that the incoming class has been finalized? -

I have the same issue. If we accept an admission from another school and then hear back from NPSIA positively and want to decline that offer from the other school to go with NPSIA I beleive some here mentioned that schools would still be okay with that. Correct? And I say “Okay” meaning they may have more work on their plate but that is happens. This is not obviously a good practice but schools that give offers late and those that give early must experience this issues frequently. Do you think they share communication with similar departments especially knowing students who applied to their program and accepted..for example like inter province schools for example must know, no? GSPIA and NPSIA..eg Would they know if a student gets accepted to one of the other and accepts..? And would that affect our admission to the other school if we accept before the school sends out official acceptance letters to us? -

Thanks !loopylex. So am curious...For those here that have gotten the unofficial emails has your specialization changed on Carleton Central now? @loopylex I know you mentioned above that in the past before the official acceptance Carleton central shows this change..but am curious to know if anyone here has seen the change happen already...or will they have to wait until the official acceptance....
