Dear Mr. George,
On behalf of the Graduate Program Director, I am pleased to let you know that the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has recommended to the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Office (GPSO) that you be admitted to the M Eng program, non-thesis option, beginning September 2009. Please see the attached letter for details.
The official acceptance letter and admission package will be sent to you from GPSO in the next few weeks.
We look forward to welcoming you to McGill in September.
Congratulations.

1. Breathe.
2. Maintain composure.
3. Crack a smile.
4. SCREAM ecstatically!!!
No word on financial assistance, but, even in the worst-case scenario that they don't offer me ANY assistance, I'll only have to pay about $30,000 altogether for tuition - compared to over twice that elsewhere.
So, now that this momentary outburst of joy has been lived, back to work on all the crazy shit that I have to work on the next several days! Yay.
