Haha. I applied for an OGS (Ontario Graduate Scholarship) and it was the same thing. They kept pushing the deadline later as they kept missing it.

For OSAP, does it matter that students get a summer job and make an income?
If by having a summer job, will this decrease/affect the amount of $$ one gets?

For instance, my friend said that without a summer job, he would've received $4000 in grants (money you don't have to repay). BUT since he made money working in the summer before his studies, he received no grants, which is like footing yourself in the foot.

PM me back?

Because I wanted to. Plus I went to school in Alberta so in order to get into the aerospace field I need this sort of training. I've also noticed that contrary to the usual trend, this is a graduate degree that actually will get you into industry.

Huh. That's kind of cool. Did you have to bust your ass doing your undergrad to do this master in aerospace engineering? I bet you did, eh? Heh.

I worked hard in undergrad but I know people who spent more time doing work than me (and may not have done better than me grades-wise). I didn't decide to do grad school until my last year anyways, so it's not like I was specifically working towards that goal.
