It seems nothing will change today.... Wait 4 tomorrow
The only way we would see a change in their online system is if we receive an email letting us know that a decision is available online. Of course, unless, the system change goes public before an email gets dispatched.

not sure about full-time, but the director of the program told me that they had not started to review part-time applications, would start in May or June. The weird thing is if you go to the applicaion tracker, you can see a part-time applicant saying he is accepted. Either is not telling the truth?

How are they able to differentiate part-time and full-time? If I remember correctly, they never asked in the application...

This is a good question... I have not finished the online forms yet, so never thought about this... Anyway, that's what they say..
Another thing I know is there are only 10 positions for part-time.

I am still pending.... How about you?
Why there are still so many pending applications? Anyone has an idea?

I think that since their deadline is May 31, they are still waiting for new applicants.

Anyone else here considering joinging MAFN for 2011? I am trying to decide between MAFN and a MSF program, would like to get your views on MAFN. The reviews on the program here is disparaging, but the several alumni/current students I reached out to had a more favorable opinion.

Thanks

I am joining to this program. My previous supervisor graduated from this program and he is very positive about it.

@Nicolas_S
I look forward to your positive experience in the program. To be honest, I have tried to find someone who can prove all the nay-sayers wrong but I couldn't find anyone.

Can you post your timelines in the Tracker and select the MAFN program as your final destination?
Thanks.
