  1. Thanks a lot. I absolutely agree with you that schools need to handle applicants better because in all actuality they need our money, more reason for them to be courteous. Also my status changed today on Carleton Central as well. This has been quite the experience anyways I applied to ryerson and I’m waiting to hear back from them. That’s my last option.
  2. So Carleton replied my email and this has to be the rudest reply I’ve ever gotten. I emailed them about my application status and apparently I got rejected. I got this reply... “Thank you for your interest in the Carleton University Master of Journalism program, and for your patience as our admissions committee conducted its deliberations. As you know, the Master of Journalism is a small enrolment program with a limited capacity to admit international students. I am afraid that we are not able to make a recommendation of admission in your case. We do wish you all the best with your future endeavors.” Is this even fair? You didn’t let me know all this while till I messaged you and you are no rejecting me? Wow. Carleton has disappointed me
  3. So I called Ryerson today to know my status update and I got the same vague answer like the email they sent to me. They said they can’t tell me when to expect a decision but that my application is being reviewed. I later called Carleton to know my status as well and I was told that my application is still with the department and it has not been recommended for admission but it is still being reviewed. At this point, I am confused and honestly tired of waiting since January for a decision. I don’t even know what to do at this point.
  4. Alright I will call them during the week. Thank you
  5. Please has anyone heard from Ryerson at all because i got an email from them on the 29th of March saying this “We would like to take this opportunity to again thank you for your interest in Graduate Studies at Ryerson University. This acknowledgement confirms that we received your documents through the applicant upload portal for the School of Graduate Studies for the term commencing Fall 2018 for the following program: Master of Journalism - Full Time To confirm the status of your document submissions, you may log into the Applicant Portal to determine which documents have been received by our office. Please upload any missing documents listed. Your application has been reviewed for consideration and has been forwarded to the Program Admissions Committee for review. Once an admission decision has been reached, you will be notified by email. Due to high volume of inquiries, we are unable to respond to individual requests concerning your admissions decision.” I did not understand what they meant by they just received my application cos I finished applying in January. So does this mean I’m waitlisted, might be accepted or what?
  6. I emailed Carleton second week of March and they told me that they would get back to me when there’s space in the program. Ryerson emailed me last week to tell me that they have successfully received all my documents and when a decision is reached, they would email me. I had completed my application for Ryerson since January so I was shocked about the email. At this point, I don’t know what else to do but wait even tho I just want to know!!!!
  7. I’m so excited for you cos we have been waiting a long time for this. I’m sure you are going to be celebrating lol. I’m still here waiting on Carleton and Ryerson. My fingers are very crossed right now cos I want to celebrate as well
  8. Hey!!!!!! finally some good news. I am excited for you. I hope you get other ones as well.
  9. Hey guys, I’m seriously tired of waiting. I already emailed Ryerson on the 1st of March and they gave me a vague waiting time between March and April. I don’t know if I should email them again to confirm. I’m just so anxious. I’m an international student by the way for the master of journalism. HELP ME!!!!!
  10. That’s really nice. I’m happy for you, at least some good news. For the graduate program yeah? I’ll just wait for their strike to come to an end before I start checking again
  11. Hey!!!! Congratulations!!! Excited for you. Finally some good news and hope. When did you get the news? And what program?
  12. Goodluck to you too. I pray we get good news soon. The wait is agonizing to say the least.
  13. Nice!!! I applied to both Carleton and Ryerson University. Masters in Journalism. Wbu?
  14. Just waiting to hear some good news from international students at the moment. Especially for Carleton and Ryerson U. At least I would know there is hope.
  15. Yeah you’re right. I don’t think it is mainly rejections anyway, they just need to hear back from domestic students with the deadline given to them before they attend to international students. Let’s have faith that they would get back to us with something positive soon.
  16. Hello, It’s sad that this is happening tbh but I hope they answer you soon because seeing domestic students post that they have gotten accepted is quite depressing.
  17. Hey, It still baffles me that they are doing this but I guess it’s routine. I would be glad if you let me know what they say. Thank you.
  18. Hey! Congratulations!!! I believe they are sending out acceptance letters to Canadians first and if there is any space left they will contact the international students (me).
  19. You’re not the only one, I was feeling some type of way when I read it as well. It’s sad to know that with the many international students that would apply, only one might get picked and that is only if one of the accepted domestic students declines an offer.
  20. It actually really sucks but I understand. Thank you for the reassurance. I’ll keep waiting
  21. I did not know that when I applied and I am an international student. Do I have hope?
  22. Thank you for your interest in the Carleton University Master of Journalism program and thank you for your patience as our admissions committee conducts its deliberations. You should know that the MJ is a limited enrolment program to which only 20 or so students are admitted each year. We first admit a complement of domestic students, and only once that cohort has been settled upon do we turn our attention to international applicants. As well, we only have the capacity to admit a very small number of international students — sometimes as few as one. We are currently in the process of waiting to hear from some of the domestic applicants to whom we have extended offers of admission. It may be a few weeks before we will know how many spaces in the program, if any, will be available to international applicants. Again, we thank you for your forbearance. So I just got this email from Carleton, please someone help me make sense of this...
