AH YES!

Hi! Since I went to York for my undergrad, and all my references were from York, i 'think' the reason why I was quickly accepted to York's MA program was that I am a home student. I got waitlisted at McMaster for a similar program, but finally made it in. Don't lose hope! If it's meant to be, it'll happen. Best of luck

SFU! Even though I am a York student, I am at a point now that I'd prefer anything over York. lol

I actually JUST got accepted into the program. YAY lol

Hi! I am hoping to find out if anyone who applied to program has received offers/rejections/waitlists? Who's got an offer but is going to decline? Please let me know, as this is my top priority program and I have been waitlisted since ever =(

So you've decided to go to Brock? No to McMaster's Globalization program?

Yes I think that will help. Try your best, you've got nothing to lose. An additional letter will only help boost your application.

For MA, I have been offered 15K for 5 terms which is pretty much the standard.

Congrats!! You made it

I actually found a chance to speak to Steve Bailey at York last Friday and he said he had just signed the funding papers which have now gone for mailing. So if all goes right, we should be receiving our funding offers in mail by Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks for all your responses everyone! They're all very helpful..... I haven't yet decided but I'm still thinking on what would be my best bet if I am to do my PHD in future.

Hi everyone, I've been accepted to a couple of programs both of which are great. My only concern is that one's 1 year and the other one is 2 year MA program. I'm wondering if that really makes a difference. I'm probably going to be pursing PHD studies sometime in the future, and I'm not too sure if doing a 1 year MA program would make any difference to my potential of getting in. At this point, a lot of people have told me to do 1 year and get it done, but I'm getting second thoughts. Do PHD programs prefer 2 year MA applicants? Do they prefer someone who has done thesis over MRP? Any opinions on this?

Any PHD students who've received their funding info? Any idea how long do they take after the website status changes to "admitted"?

I'll probably turn it down as well.... I'm only waiting until they send out the funding info... Feels great anyway ..will share my info as well.

I applied to York... they haven't sent out any email or funding info as of yet. But just this morning my status changed to admitted Best of luck!!!

JUST GOT ACCEPTED TO THE MA PROGRAM!!!! ...the website status changed to admitted! ecstatic!

wow! that's incredibly amazing. best of luck!!!

Hi, Did you receive your offer today? Also, do you mind sharing your funding?

HUGE feeling that they might send out decisions today or tomorrow!!!

Get ready MA people! You should hear from York sometime soon. I found out that the decision committee sat down today going over our applications!!! Best of luck!

i feel that contacting POI is extremely important but for some reason it's never openly talked about at least here in Canada. I attended various workshops on preparing for grad school applications and never heard a word on this. Anywho, congrats on getting into your first choice! I got into McMaster (which was my first choice), and I'm only waiting to hear from York. I did not apply widely just because I want to stay around in Southern Ontario, and I am glad that applying to just a few programs worked out for me. Is your funding great? And are you hoping to negotiate? I am wondering how that process works.

so I guess a week more until MA decisions...

Can't believe you got rejected from Carleton after getting into SFU and Ottawa! SFU is like the BEST school for comn.

not a problem, I go to york for undergrad so it took a jiffy to find out.

Hopefully not... this is the max amount of time it will take for everyone to hear from them. so I believe first round of offers will go around end of march, second round mid april-ish.
