I still haven't heard anything at all from the IBBME graduate program - my application still says "Under Review". I guess it's a moot point now as I've accepted my place at Western, I just would've thought I would hear something back! Obviously I'm not expecting an acceptance at this stage but some sort of acknowledgement would be nice.

I'm also an international student (from Ireland) heading to UWO in September. Pretty excited already One thing I was wondering, maybe some current grad students can help with; what's the accommodation situation like? The graduate residences look really expensive, $800+ a month for a single apartment in the Glenmore residences. A lot cheaper for the two-bedroom apartments but unfortunately you need to apply with a roommate and I don't know anyone else. Ideally I'd like to rent a shared house with some other graduate students. A lot cheaper and more fun than living on my own! How early would I have to arrive in London to sort this out? I probably won't be flying over til mid-August at least, and I wouldn't like to commit to somewhere I haven't seen in person.

Thanks, good idea. I'll try that.

I have a bit of a dilemma, I've applied for graduate program in both Western Ontario and University of Toronto. I haven't heard back from Toronto yet, but last week I received an offer from Western. I have to make my decision for Western by next week. Is this common? It seems early to have to make my mind up. I think I'd prefer to go to Toronto if I received an offer from them - however I'd feel like an idiot if I turned down my offer from Western only to be rejected from Toronto. If anyone has any advice, it'd be great..
