Fortunately, I was admitted to the thesis stream! I'm back on this forum because I'm trying to decide if I'll apply for PhD programs after (I know it's early, but I love to plan :P). When I applied, I applied to the MA and MEd (major research paper) streams with the hopes that I'd get into the MA because I wanted to keep the door open for further education. What are your end goals career-wise? You sound like you could be a good fit for the thesis stream, especially if your research interests align with a potential supervisor.

When I applied to Ottawa last year, I was told during an informal interview with a potential supervisor that there were 527 applicants for 24 spots. I hadn't been overly anxious about my application until I was told that... ha.

For the uOttawa MA(Ed), I know the deadline to accept offers is Apr 27. Not sure if it’s the same for the MEd but if so, there is still hope as maybe not everyone has accepted/rejected their offers yet.

Just got my admission for the MA(Ed) at uOttawa via the portal!!!

I really hope to hear from uOttawa this week as well. I am also at the point where I am trying to plan my summer, determine when to leave my job (or if I’m going to be staying at my job!) and arrange my volunteering schedule. My child also starts school in the fall so I’d love to know if I’ll be working or going to school so I can plan school bus/before after school care and all of those fun logistics. This waiting has been really difficult… my fingers are crossed for all of us

That’s good to know!! I hope we hear soon!

Yes I applied for the MA. I also applied for the MEd (major research paper option) and that’s sitting at ‘Under Evaluation’ as well. I emailed a couple weeks ago and was told that decisions should come out ‘any day now’, but now it’s been weeks, lol. I am wondering if the decisions are somewhat delayed due to the convoy shutting down the city for some time. I do some RA work at a lab at uOttawa and my work was cancelled for a few weeks during the convoy, so I’m wondering if this could have impacted the decisions timeline overall? At this point I’m just grasping at straws trying to rationalize the super long wait…

Has anyone heard anything from uOttawa? My application is still sitting at ‘Under Evaluation’… this is the only program I applied to and the wait for an answer has been agony! I did see that my application ‘Requirements’ list was updated to show ‘Approval of Supervisor’ with a check mark and the prof I’ve been in contact with’s name, so I am assuming this is a good sign? I just want confirmation so I can stop refreshing the portal 10x a day while I’m at work…

My status is still “under evaluation”. I was told acceptances will go out “any day now”. I inquired about the MA and MEd (research paper stream).

Has anyone received an acceptance for the MA(Ed) or MEd major project stream at uOttawa? My application is still sitting at ‘Under Evaluation’ and the wait is driving me crazy!
