Actually, a friend of mine had an interview around March 4 regarding his application for the PhD program. He applied to CPPS and he was told PRGS was impressed by his application but will want to bring him in as Masters (a new program with funding modalities being worked out) with the possibility of moving into the PhD program although there will be need for an application. He said they have a considerable pool of students they are looking at. They said they would get back to him on the details and further steps but hasn't gotten back from them yet. Just wanted to throw this out cos it is a different line of info. I guess lot of people applied with the attendant pool of highly qualified students too good to reject.
