barnswallow Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Resist temptation!! I would check it out first. Maybe I'm only saying that because you might still get into McGill, and their campus is so beautiful that it would be enough to drag me away from waterloo (I say this as someone who is applying to neither school, haha). Wow you were right! Soon after I read this I got an email from McGill saying I was being recommended by the department. I am not sure what I am going to do now! The program at McGill (medical physics) is non-thesis for the first year, so funding is definitely going to be an issue. Gah, I'm so confused, I was dead-set on Waterloo until a few minutes ago. And yes, I have heard McGill is very beautiful
WishfulThinker Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 It'll be a slow week thanks to reading week
courtc8891 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I received word from UVic today asking about external funding. They said "an admission offer will follow shortly." So I assume I've been accepted, if they're looking into funding for me. The end of this madness is soon upon us, friends. Hang in there. barnswallow and quilledink 2

foucaultmania Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) has anyone already heard anything from the PhD program in Environmental Studies at York? Edited February 20, 2013 by foucaultmania
Nerd_For_Life Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Anyone heard anything on York's PhD in Anthro?
madricka Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I just received my acceptance from UToronto for MI. Yay! For those of you still waiting, stay strong. This process is gruelling! courtc8891 and crimsoc 2

courtc8891 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Accepted to SFU! Unfortunately they didn't offer me funding, although they did say I'm "eligible for competitive funding opportunities." Judging by their handbook I assume people normally get funding offers with their acceptance, so I'm kind of sad. Ah well, it's great just to get in.

Was your offer of admission letter from the school of graduate studies or from your department? financial packages are provided by the department not the sgs

Mmm I had read all of their funding information, which led to most of my disappointment. My application-crazed-brain went straight to "Maybe I'm a last place pick out of a tiny pool of applicants and they don't think I'm good enough to be a TA"

I'm checking my SFU application pretty much religiously... so much that I finally memorized that silly GA###### login. Getting reaaaal sick of seeing "No offer has been made" courtc8891 and rmrda 2

quilledink Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 It was from the school of graduate studies. I am hopeful again! Thanks Congrats! Hopefully they'll get back to you with funding shortly! I'm in the same boat myself as far as crossing my fingers and waiting for funding is concerned... it's just more waiting games, really. crimsoc 1
crimsoc Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Got a phone call from UAlberta last night. Got (informally) accepted into their sociology PhD program. Still waiting on UToronto criminology and UOttawa criminology. I heard from a prof at UOttawa that the Crim Department that the selection committee will be sitting to review applications March 8th. Best of luck to all applicants. crimsoc 1

venusandback Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Has anyone received any news from Concordia yet?
crimsoc Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Congratulations!! Thanks! Hoping for UToronto though. From what i heard the criminology PhD program is HIGHLY competitive. As in, they let only TWO cadidates in last year. I don't even know why I'm getting the slightest of hopes up though. crimsoc 1
foucaultmania Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Tomorrow is the final day to be nominated for York's Scholarships... http://www.yorku.ca/grads/money_matters/york_awards.php?id=8
courtc8891 Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Has anyone received any news from Concordia yet? I got word today from Concordia that I've been accepted with funding. Have you heard anything? Also, I have a (very silly) question about tuition there. So, the English MA is a 45 credit degree and I am a non-Quebecer. According to their tuition fee calculator, it'll be about 11 grand for my degree... but they estimate that over a year of study, not two. I read it as 11 grand per year, not total, because it does say that each term is about ~2600. How do you read this? It's my top choice, but I really would rather not pay 22 grand for a degree that is 10-12 elsewhere
