timeisticking Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Actually, Mandarin chinese do have grammar but it is completely different than european languages. Compared to chinese, japanese may be harder regarding the multiple pronunciations of one kanji (chinese usually has one), and grammar can be really complex. I hope to pass the second hardest level of japanese next december. If i succeed, i'll try chinese ! I suppose Chinese does have grammar, but I see it more as sentence structure. Good luck on passing Japanese! Just note that you can be easily confused with the kanji when you are reading the Chinese characters, as they have different meanings.

newpollution Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Concerning the Coop program, can we do it only if we choose the coursework path or can we choose the research essay but also do the coop ? I believe it's accessible for every student Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabrielle Bishop Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 It looks like its only for the first year. The offer letter says "when accepting or declining, you will be able to do so for the first year of the funding only. Your decision will be applied automatically to all subsequent years". You can check online on Carleton Central. My letter said $12,000 but it's divided up ($10,000 for first year + $2,000 for second year; then divided per semester after that). The breakdown is where your application details are/where you confirm your attendance for September. Archie1991 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie1991 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hey guys, sorry to hijack your thread, but I'm looking for some help! I see a lot of you have applied/been accepted to the Munk MGA. For those accepted, were you given a deadline by which you must accepted/decline a spot? I ask because I contacted Megan Bell today and was told that I am basically on a wait-list and may receive an offer, depending on the outcome of the initial round of offers etc. Unfortunately I have fast approaching deadlines for two offers from UK universities, and as most of you know, any information you get from Munk has to be squeezed out of them!! Hopefully someone here will be able to help me out! ps - congrats all around, a seriously brainy bunch here by the looks of it!! The deadline I was given for Munk is March 25. I'll be declining that offer, so hopefully the waitlist gets moving soon! Mountie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing there will be other awards/OGS to apply for in second year. Gabrielle Bishop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melo92 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hey everyone! Congrats to all those who got in, I just received my offer. I was curious about funding, I see a few people talking about their funding. Where would I find that information, is it just in the letter?

I'm curious to see if they'll be sending out updates during the weekend I'm sorry, I may have over emphasized the "just" I received my offer on Tuesday but have been looking for a forum with prospective and accepted students and found one today. I'm crossing my fingers for you though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lahdeedah Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Is anyone still "Recommended for Assessment" in Carleton Central? I've come to really dislike those few words over the last month... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marika287 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I am... even though I received my unofficial acceptance... i'm just freakin' out since last monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satellite2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hello all, I called the department and they confirmed the process was alphabetical...Friday mine still said "Recommended for assessment" and just now my status was changed to "Review in progress by department". My last name starts with a "P", good luck to all. Gabrielle Bishop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icedtea Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Isn't "review in progress" the phase before "recommended for assessment"? I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satellite2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I received an email on Last Monday with an unofficial acceptance, at that point my status became "recommended for assessment" and just today it changed to "review in progress by department"....I'm hoping this is the correct order but I think everything is moving along because my specialized are was also updated to my first choice on my preference form today.

Archie1991 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 For me the steps were "Preliminary Review Required" > "Recommended for Assessment" > "Review in Progress by FGPA" > Decision. It took a few days from when it changed to FGPA review for me to receive the official offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahdeedah Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Well, I guess this just confirms what I learned in elementary school. It kinda sucks to have a last name that starts with a letter close to the end of the alphabet. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabrielle Bishop Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) I received an email on Last Monday with an unofficial acceptance, at that point my status became "recommended for assessment" and just today it changed to "review in progress by department"....I'm hoping this is the correct order but I think everything is moving along because my specialized are was also updated to my first choice on my preference form today. Tabbatha told me on the phone that Carleton Central often glitches, so that could be it. My application dropped back down to "review in progress by department" when it was supposed to say "Review in progress by Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs" last week.
