Hi TBK, I hope you are enjoying the UBC MA programme. You must be really, really busy, but i was wondering if you could share with us some thoughts on how you find the programme so far. If you happen to read my post some time.

also, i was wondering what you had meant by "If I had not gotten the SSHRC, my package would have been about $15,000." Do schools actually give funding for MA students who don't receive SSHRC funding also? My chance at CGS/OGS is very slim, since I did terribly in the two summer courses I took this summer (2 C's), and my GPA in the last 20 credits come out to about 10.4/12 with no TA/RA experience or any research potential. I know those are all based on GPA and research potential. Do you know of anyone who actually got some sort of funding from the school (not TAship) w/o holding SSHRC/OGS scholarships?

Thanks.
