So I got this email from Queen's econ graduate coordinator this tuesday, and here's the first part of the it:  
 
  I am very pleased to inform you that we have recommended your acceptance into the M.A.   
  program in the Department of Economics at Queen’s University. You will receive an official   
  letter of acceptance from the School of Graduate Studies and Research at Queen’s, both online   
  and, when your acceptance is final, by mail  
 
  Has anyone received this before? What does this mean exactly? Why can't they just send me one letter indicating clearly if I'm accepted or not.....  
 
  Thanks.
