Acceptance letter

Receiving the acceptance letter from the university was, of course, a happy event. Even better, I received three such letters! It is quite common that if you apply to several universities in Canada you receive several acceptance letters.
The tricky part is that you must accept one (be careful, just one!) of these offers for graduate studies and, usually, in a quite short period of time (a few weeks). If you have several invitations, a good idea is to explore a bit before deciding.
Do not look at how much money an university is giving you (as I did myself and as many foreign students do!). It is better to look more at people then money!
What does it mean?
Assuming that after you graduate from a Canadian university you want to settle and work in Canada, you will strongly need recommendations from the professors you will be working with in the university. So, check the university web site, see those professors' work (if you have been indicated a supervisor check about that person in particular). See if these professors have publications, if they go to conferences. If so, this means they are well known in the scientific community and their recommendation will help you a lot after you complete your studies in that university.
So, even if an offer is speaking about a 1-2000 dollars per year less but the professors (or your future supervisor) are well known within the academic community, accept that offer. You will be able to make up the money difference in various ways during your studies (I will show you some) and getting a good job after the studies is far more important.
So, eventually do as I did, send a letter (and a fax and an e-mail to be sure!) where you accept the offer and an e-mail to other universities where you deny the offer within the time interval they require.
