Good evening Fam!!

I am an applicant of university of Manitoba Canada. I applied late last month/ early this month during my application I did all was required aside the part I skipped that part was boldly written OPTIONAL. I paid my application fee and started waiting for decision just four days left for most Canadian universities to close portal for winter 2023 I had to mail them just so I can know my fate .

Initial I have been told I can reach my department for decision but I decided to be patient but looking at it fours days to go , I needed to play safe so I can quickly apply for other schools. I decided to send mail last night and when I did I was told to drop a writing sample for a final evaluation and from the school portal writing sample only comes when one is to be considered for funding!! Does it mean they want to give me scholarship?

Here are pictures of what on going
