Is anyone else in the same place right now, or, does anyone have anything new to report? Hi, I called UVIC last week and asked about the MPA online admissions, they told me that they were meeting about it and will be letting people know in a week or two. So now it has been a week. I applied and have not heard yet. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently work for City of Toronto Children Services. Did a research internship at Ryerson. Still in shock that I did not get in. Sorry you did not get in. I guess it was very competitive. Wow I’m also shocked you weren’t admitted with those stats..that is an incredible GPA.I didn’t realize the program was that competitive! Welp, I guess my chances of admission are down the drain.

DaBear Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Anyone know if UVic has sent any of their final offers? I am aware that they have sent most of their acceptance letters out. I am just curious if anyone has received a rejection letter of some sort. It would be nice to get some closure as my application is still pending... considering it is almost May it would be nice to just have some clarity...

I heard they sent out the offers already. Tough having waited 4 long months to find out I’ve probably been rejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my new weekly tradition! (god dammit-hah) I was told they're still waiting to hear from the second round? That doesn't make sense to me because I know that the second round went out at the beginning of April... Candidates were only given 10 days to respond, so I'm not sure what the hold up is. Maybe extensions have been granted for 1 or 2 applicants who are waiting on other offers (although, I think most f/t programs have wrapped up now)? Or maybe the grad assistant has been instructed to placate inquiries until UVic gets around to sending final rejections? Or maybe they have no intention of informing rejected applicants because they derive pleasure from our anxious inquiries. Or maybe I've gone crazy. Maybe the program doesn't exist at all. Maybe this whole experience is just a figment of my imagination. I have no idea. It's bewildering. All I know is that despite sitting on applications for 4 months, UVic states that they still haven't filled their small 25 person cohort, they've apparently made no progress in the last month, and they're no longer offering decision timelines... ಠ_ಠ DaBear and Grad1111 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called the admissions office today and she said while it's not the program she deals with, she believes they are still considering some files and will be sending out acceptances. So fingers crossed! Let me know if you hear from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaitJonni Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 But they didn’t give any instructions on whether I should get my undergrad school to send them official documents... very confusing lol.

CaitJonni Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Yea no problem - B+ overall A- in the last two years but I did my third year in Ghana and have been working in the programs and policy division of a major international charity for 2 years. Since UVic has a focus on international policy I think it was my international experience rather than my grades that helped them make the decision Seahawks3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaitJonni Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hey for the people for the U Vic online stream - I have sent in my acceptance but haven't heard anything from them to confirm they received it.
