I have no idea what's up with Guelph. I've scheduled a trip there anyways and am meeting Prof. Fischlin when I go. I won't have time if I just find out on the 30th or something ridiculous like that.
About the wait-list, I don't think she did! I will definitely suggest it to her. Thanks for the tip, I'm sure it will help immensely if she hasn't already asked.
And yes, horribly nerve-wraking. And distracting! I can hardly get anything done besides check my e-mail.
I really hope you're bumped into the program soon. Are you going/able to go to visitor's day on the 23rd?

I was really looking forward to possibly going to UBC................but oh well. That's life.
The best you can do is make them regret they didn't take you right?
Exactly right

Well, I have Daniel Fischlin at Guelph and Elizabeth Harvey at U of T.
Since both schools fit, I'm back to funding vs reputation, and that's if I even get in to Guelph. I even have a place to live in both cities worked out.
In terms of hearing, Guelph is being evasive. I called last wednesday and they said decisions have been made (wouldn't tell me where I stood of course) and that letters would be going out soon. I called yesterday and they said the exact same thing.
Congrats on making the wait list! I've heard the mobility on that list is very good. I have a friend on the list too, she'd go to U of T for sure if she got in, so my fingers are firmly crossed for her, and you!

Sorry to hear that about McGill!
For Guelph/U of T, it depends on funding vs reputation. I know there's no funding at U of T and that Guelph is usually pretty generous but I'm also concerned career wise about reputation. I know Guelph is an amazing school, especially for what I want to do, but Toronto may look better on an application. However, If Guelph's funding is generous enough I may be tempted to go there instead.
What are your plans?!
-
Oh really?! Ok, thanks so much for letting me know, I thought I was totally down and out. Fingers crossed for the both of us!

Thanks on McGill! I saw a few acceptances on the board to McGill. I figured I was out but maybe not if there is much of a difference in timing. I'm fine if I don't get in, I'm very happy with U of T. They're both amazing programs.
Congrats Aubergine and Jelkost!
Crummy about no funding. I know they didn't offer it at the Masters level but I thought for sure PhD's got funding.
-
For which school? I heard back from U of T yesterday, accepted! Can't believe it. They sent an e-mail and said that no hard copy would follow. I saw McGill up on the board today but I haven't heard back from them so I'm nervous.

Anyone hear about/call the English MA program for Guelph or U of T?
I called and McGill they told me that there's a meeting on the 5th to discuss applications and then mid this week they should let people know.
Guelph just said they were still reviewing applications and that was all they could tell me.
Toronto said first two weeks of March...
Have you heard different on any of these schools?
-
If English Masters applicants are waiting and wondering, I broke down and called, they said first 2 weeks of March.

I don't think you can? If I'm correct, Guelph just linked you to the general Ontario app system. They don't have their own system like Waterloo,Mcmaster or U of T does where you get your UN and PW to check stuff. When I applied to Guelph, the grad secretary emailed me when they got all my app material.
I think you're right. Thanks!

Probably a stupid question but, does anyone know how to track the Guelph applications? I haven't been able to figure it out.
Does anybody else feel really nervous about their decision?

Impostor syndrome! Describes my feelings so perfectly! I keep feeling as if my school mixed up my application with someone else's and I'll get there, totally unqualified, totally underprepared.
But almost everyone felt that way at the visitor's day for my program, and those who didn't, I've decided, were lying.
