Hang in there bec it's early days for MPA/P/S offers in Canada. Also, if anyone is wishing they applied to more schools: the deadline for Dalhousie hasn't passed yet. Chance to experience east coast lifestyle.

FromE Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 I didn't receive an offer from queens yesterday, does anyone know if they sent all offers out yesterday? Of if more are going out over the next couple days? Queens is my first choice for grad school, but the deadline to accept my second choice is today...so I'm a bit conflicted on what to do.

Call the school with the deadline and ask for an extension while you wait for other offers to come.

You can also view the funding in your MyCarletonOne (MC1) account by clicking on Applications > Carleton Central Graduate Admissions > View Application Details > Statement of Standing: View/Accept/Decline Offer of Admission. Hope that helps! Edited March 4, 2022 by MPAMPPA2022

Me too, I reached out to the Uvic grad admissions and they said they will likely be releasing decisions in the third week of April. I wish they would announce sooner like other schools, because most schools like Carelton have a deadline to apply. MPAMPPA2022 1
