Two questions here:
 
	I applied to McMaster's Global Politics program, and in the application portal there is just a tiny "x" for denied, but haven't received any communication from the program.  I am sure that is a rejection, but it feels odd that there was no follow up email, or is that just the way it goes?
 
	 
 
	I have also been waitlisted at UBC, and just curious what the likelihood of getting off the waitlist is there, or if anyone else is in a similar boat?
 
	Was really hoping to get into a program in Canada, but if its absolute rejection I was accepted in New Zealand.
