Making other plans

My MPA offer didn't mention funding either. Anyone happen to know of any Facebook pages specific to grad student housing?

You too! ?

Congrats! I accepted my offer too!

They didn't provide specific dates for orientation week, but they said it will likely be the first week of September. Hope this helps!

I attended the Zoom session for Queen's. In the session, they went over info like field trips, courses available, degree options (courses only, thesis, or research project), international exchange opportunities, the international award program, costs of Kingston housing, some key queen's facebook groups, orientation week, conferences, and events put on by the academic society for planning. Hope this helps!

My portal has a "view decision" option that links to my offer letter. It's been there since the day of my acceptance email. Might be worth calling otherwise you can't click on decline or accept. Or ask online on the 23rd.

Excellent to hear they have an orientation week. Imho, planning schools in particular should be selling themselves on community:)

Congratulations on offer and great $!! Got an email from Waterloo over a week ago that said they were starting to review application but no word yet. When did you hear? expected they'd be more generous than Queen's but there's little info on their program. Heard the master's courses are cross-listed with undergrad planning courses. Also Queen's has an orientation week, field trips etc. Also no clue how many master students Waterloo has in planning. Maybe I missed an info session but not aware they had one of those either.... An idea of how program compares to Queen's?

Congrats!!! The email I received re: funding guaranteed a minimum funding amount. Any intel on when we'll know if we get more than that minimum?

Heading to Queen's, but not sure whether to accept M Plan or MPA there.

Yay! Admissions rolling at Queen's. Received email offer about an hour ago. No mention of funding. Does anyone know if SURP typically offers any $?

Hang in there bec it's early days for MPA/P/S offers in Canada. Also, if anyone is wishing they applied to more schools: the deadline for Dalhousie hasn't passed yet. Chance to experience east coast lifestyle.

In at Queen's MPA. Advised via email a few min ago. Thrilled!!!!!! Stats: L2 gpa 3.8-3.9/4.33; student leadership roles for ECs; 3 interesting co-op jobs but not policy related

Heard Queen's 1st round offers will be this week.

A big thanks for sharing all this!! And again: congrats!!!
