vityaz Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Any news on Western's Public History MA? My status still says released from program.
vityaz Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Just got an acceptance via email from UVic for the MA program.
Aski Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Actually i m applyin fr masters structural engg. in UBC. bt one of my friends in US told me tht CANADA and its univ are technologically nt tht advance . he told me to go fr US. I dnt knw whethr to apply or not. sum1 pls clarify!! Your friends statement is not true, Canada does not lack technological advancement. However, that being said, some of the best structural engineering programs are in the UK and Japan. It matters firstly what you are looking to get out of the program (your career ambitions). And be careful when reading articles that list the "top schools" they can be misleading. You should contact alumni, search for publications and review professional journals, this will help you decide which school to attend.

KDelamont Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Just got a rejection letter from UBC - would have been my top choice (if I was able to pay), but they only admit 15 PhD and MA students total, out of over 100 applications. So I'm not too broken up haha. In the words of my father: "think of all the money I'll save."

So I'm not too broken up haha. In the words of my father: "think of all the money I'll save." So UBC's results are out? 15 grad students in total? ... I could not believe it! I always thought UBC recruit more students since the department is pretty big. Please tell me, did you get your rejection letter when you asked anybody from the department? Or you simply got an email from them? I am dieing to know!

Or you simply got an email from them? I am dieing to know! They appear to be out. I got an email from them with a pretty boilerplate rejection. They also said that a letter should be coming in the post. It is, I agree, a little shocking that they only accept 15 applicants every year. But hey, that's their thing I guess.

CeciliaZ1909 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Hey guys. I just found this thread today! And I'm new to gradcafe actually... First congrats to everyone who have had offers and fingers crossed for all! I've been accepted by MAAPPS in UBC in Feb and there's 3200$ fundings for international studs. My supervisor will be Timothy Cheek, and others told me he is excellent to work with. I'm still waiting for U of T's department of East Asian Studies because my boyfriend is in Waterloo and UT would be closer than Vancouver... When will UT make final decisions about MA? I feel exhausted waiting for UT while holding a quite attractive offer from UBC...

I've seen a few UofT acceptances go out, but mine is still "Under Review". A facebook friend posted her acceptance there on Thursday. Not my top choice as they don't fund MA, but still awaiting the decision.

And it does not need to apply. Studs will be considered automatically I think. My UT is still 'Under Review' for almost 3 months. Desperate... Edited March 15, 2014 by CeciliaZ1909

I was making a joke - "stud" is also a term for a sexy male (like myself). Now that I've had to explain it, i think its fair to say it's pretty much a corpse at this point.
