I have been looking at Craigslist for housing. There seem to be tons of rooms available within a 20-minute walking vicinity of campus. They are all quite reasonable -- within the $400-$700 a month range.

Looks like we have a similar track record. Congratulations.

I graduated with a B.A. from Kwantlen last year. Currently working full time at a law firm and studying my LL.B. part-time through the University of London. Will start M.A. studies at UVic in September and keeping poking away at the LL.B.

Congratulations to all accepted to UVic for September. Hope to see you around campus.

Waitlisted by UBC today. I have already accepted UVic's offer -- that was my first choice from the beginning, although Queen's was tempting and their offer was generous. I am into theory, mostly Rawls and liberalism.

Waitlisted by UBC.

Accepted by UVic yesterday via e-mail. Likely that this is the offer I'll wind up taking. I will finalize my decision by the weekend.

Accepted by Queen's via e-mail today.

Rejected from Western today.

I completed agree with the sentiment here re: statement. I have no expectation of getting accepted at UBC because of the limited scope of their applications.

I only applied to two American M.A. programs. Today I was accepted by ASU. No mention of any funding.

I was accepted into an M.A. program in Political Science last week -- still waiting to hear from a bunch of other programs.

Just saw this. Very cool. I'm doing my LL.B. right now through the University of London's international programs. So in September I will also be a grad/law student. With the job market being what it is, arming yourself with both an M.A. and a law degree is really an advantage, I suspect. It also opens up a lot more opportunities for doctoral programs.

I was e-mailed the offer (included two-semesters TAship). Haven't even checked the website.

Acceptance via e-mail from SFU today.

Ever notice how loathe political scientists/political scientist-wannabes are to talk about politics?

Plan B? There are several tall bridges near my home...

I have applied to 11 programs in total, 9 of which are Canadian. Fingers crossed for UVic. I've applied for Political Science M.A. programs, and my area is political theory.

It seems to me worthwhile opening up a thread for this. Take a word, drop a word.

Have you heard of York?

I'm in the same boat. If this year doesn't work out, there is always next year. I have learned a hard lesson: apply everywhere.

Still waiting.

Still waiting on UVic...

Hi Jeff. Thanks for the update. I am indeed waiting on MA political theory at UVic. As I mentioned above, the grad secretary today informed me over the phone that the committee is meeting sometime soon for another round of decisions. So, I guess there is indeed hope. Cheers. (Are you accepting, btw?)
