Rejected from McGill MA in Political Science with the European studies option.

I emailed McGill last Friday (about the MA decisions) and yesterday they replied saying that applications are currently under review, the committee will convene on March 21st and make final decisions, and that they will be released in the days following the 21st! Up until early April. Eeeek!

johnehm, i'm sorry to hear that did you apply for the PhD? or MA?

Rechoired, what uni? Carleton?

They went back to work in January...I'm sure they had tons of work that had just been sitting there for months and loose ends to tie up before taking on the monster that is the admissions process...

According to last year's results, PhD results began coming out the first week of March and MA results began coming out mid-March around the 18th. This will probably not be the case this year because of the MUNACA strike backing everything up.

Idk if you guys saw my post in the other thread, but I emailed McGill a month ago on Feb 2nd asking when admissions results for the MA applicants would be released. The graduate coordinator told me end of April/beginning of May. Idk if this is still the case and maybe they've been moving along quickly and everything will be sped up? Or maybe the opposite and everything's getting backlogged... I guess we can only sit and wait checking the results thread until something happens. Le sigh.

SINCE SEPTEMBER. D':

that sounds just like me. i check gradcafe threads & results search when i wake up, on my break at work, and all night at home. i do my twitter searches intermittently. whenever i hear the new mail beep on my iphone my heart drops. oh, wait, it's just groupon, again D:

Shape shift

Something to help the crazies (like me) while waiting: go on twitter.com/search and type in "name of university" and then "accepted" or "rejected" and it yields all tweet results about being accepted/rejected by the said university. A lot of people don't know that GradCafe.com exists, so its a good way to see if other people have started to be accepted/rejected into the universities that you have applied to. This will obviously also yield results from high school applicants that have been accepted into undergrad, but still. It works! Eeeeeeeeeek.
