Acceptance: Confirmed

Got my letter back from Queen's welcoming me to the program and confirming they received my deposit, registration form, and pictures. Pretty quick turnaround as my package, sent by express-post, didn't arrive till last Thursday.

The letter said other material and information would be coming in the future. I'm not expecting anything further until the New Year, but we'll see.

(Update: if you wanted to hear another version of this process, check out a blog by a 2010 Queen's MBA Candidate here. Plenty of information if you explore a bit)

Acceptance: Sent Back Form

Today I sent back the required form, two pictures, and check for a deposit on tuition. Hopefully this will arrive before the end of the week and my spot will be secured. Now I just have to wait to see what is next.

Acceptance: Made it in to the program!

Got an e-mail from Queen's today! I got in! 2 weeks and 1 day after the interview! YES!

They wanted me to verify the details of the letter so they could send out the entire package via courier.

Very excited by this development.
