Not PhD programs but I hope this is still welcome :)

Comments: Seems really early considering most Canadian schools haven't even passed their app deadline. I am still going to be waiting to hear from UBC, Western, U of T (MFE), Guelph, Waterloo, and Queens. Nonetheless receiving this email was a nice way to start my weekend.
