So I need opinions. I have been accepted to the Masters of Peace and Conflict Studies at both Saint Paul and University of Waterloo. I'm not sure which I should go to. I get more funding at Waterloo, but there is not a thesis or MRP option. Only coursework which is not 100% okay with me. Waterloo is only 16 months but Ottawa is a full two years. Waterloo has an overall better reputation that Saint Paul, but Saint Paul is highly connected with University of Ottawa. The Saint Paul faculty has been educated from Oxford to UofT, while Waterloo is mostly smaller American universities. I am able to get an internship at both schools, but Waterloo really pushes this and seems more experienced in this department. I am able to get both an RA or TA position at both. Help would be appreciated!!

So got rejected from Munk yesterday. Was hoping worst case scenario I would be waitlisted. One chance left and it is not looking so great. I'm legitimately thinking I need to think of another course of action for my life. Extremely terrifying. I didn't get an email from Tabbitha saying anything about admission status either.

Got a lovely email...

I applied to Munk, npsia, and gspia. Got rejected from gspia three weeks ago but haven't heard anything from the other two. Extremely nervous considering gspia was my back-up. Don't know what I'll do if I don't get into at least one of the programs. Congrats to everyone who has been accepted, your hard work has finally paid off and that is incredibly exciting!
