    You won't be in Toronto which I know is a bummer for you but you 'll be in Ottawa...which for IR type stuff is still pretty good.

    How did you find out you were waitlisted? Did you get a letter ?
  3. poutinead
    My file still says 'UNDER REVIEW'. Given that 'many acceptances' have been sent from Munk already I am going to assume my application was not successful. I will wait till the bars open at 11AM and then ruminate over a few beers about why I even bothered applying. This is super depressing.

    My Munk has been status quo since I opened the Acorn portal a few weeks ago...I have not been 'invited'. I know officially that doesnt mean anything but boy....its disconcerting. I wish Munk would be a little more coordinated ...

    Anyone still seeing this on their BSIA application? I got a call from the Program Director early last week saying I was admitted but nothing official (as in a letter). Just hoping a letter comes soon...I wont be able to attend their open house tomorrow otherwise I could have cleared up the matter (I could just call him again but that would be too logical)...

    Where does one find the 'invited' status on ACORN? I don't see it...which worries me...perhaps I've been rejected..

    I have not heard anything nor seen anything updated on my file from BSIA (it still says there is no decision on my application) even though I received a phone call from the Program Director saying I was being offered admission. I don't want to be paranoid but..... ;-(

    I see a lot of messages here about 'funding'...just curious...and this might be a really stupid question...but what is the difference between 'funding' and a 'scholarship'? An admission offer is received said 'funding'..and it more than covered tuition (still left about $6K)..is that what makes it funding? Is it that it covers more than tuition?

    Has there been any scuttlebutt over the number of applicants this year or why there is/was a delay in the admissions process? Last year offers were made beginning March 9th. Munk notified me via email (as has been mentioned a few times on this board) that offers this year would be sent out towards the end of the month. For some of us that means having to either ask for extensions at other schools or risk accepting then turning around and rescinding the acceptance...

    I submitted my application back in December. The admissions guy said I had 'full funding' but no mention of this 'fellowship'. As long as I am I guess that's all that matter but it would be interesting to see what I'd have to do to qualify for this.

    Does anyone know anything about these Graduate Fellowships at BSIA? Its on their web page but when I got a call from the Program Director advising me I was admitted he didn't mention anything about this. Does that mean I didn't get it? Or do I have to apply for it?

    Congratulations on the full funding..I asked some of my professors for feedback on the various programs and they all had good things to say about BSIA...

    This has been mentioned in earlier posts but Munk has advised that its MGA decisions will be communicated towards the end of the month...possibly spilling over into April. Why so late? Not sure.
  18. poutinead
    Yes it is likely my top choice...I live in Toronto now so Munk is easier on the housing/adjustment front...but the sticker price and the potential lack of funding will be a challenge (and I haven't even been admitted yet) to wrestle with...still I have heard only good things about BSIA so it will be a VERY tough choice with academic and non academic factors at play... I grew up in Waterloo (high school and first undergrad) but that was a LONG time ago...still its like going home..
