   Hahaha @PeachyT, I'm in the same boat as you: caught between UofT and Nipissing and Queens (But the Toronto based ones make more sense to me). I've accepted Nipissing as of the moment, but I still have till Friday before my UofT offer expires or I ch...

    People have gotten responses from Queens, but I don't think anybody has heard back from U of T yet.

    SPPhopeful replied to tamaraago's topic in CA Programs

    I'm with you. I touched on this in another post, but I'm caught between Queens and Nipissing. I know its 3 weeks of intro/ inquiry, 9 weeks of placements, then 3 weeks of reflection, but does anyone know more specifically how we will be taught/ learn...

    Thank you for that well thought out answer! You were very thorough-- helped explain a lot. I know Queen's' program is actually famous for its small class size so that's not really an issue for me. (Are U of T's classes large?) I'm more fearful that I...

    That means that your application is still under review. No decision of any kind has been made. You are neither accepted, rejected, or wait-listed. If they wait-list you then they should clearly state that somewhere.
