Thanks! I guess I'll go with Carleton, if they let me enrol soon lol. We should start a Facebook group for those doing econ over the summer! Honestly, I think it depends on the person. I know for me, i need to dedicate my time to econ. I'll see how the work load is like the first few weeks and decide from there.
-
I tried, but it said I'm not an active student yet. I emailed Tabbatha, hopefully she gets back to me soon! Have you? I'm wondering what the syllabus is like, compared to Athabasca.
-
Do you have a link for more info on the micro/macro courses at Carleton? It's online right? If you take the course, would the grade be transferred to your overall GPA? Or do they just care about what mark you get in the course?
-
I might register with Athabasca uni. I'm thinking of registering with my university as a non-degree course, but I still need to talk to the department. How about you?

Congrats on being accepted to LSE!! What program did you apply for?
-
Munk and NPSIA are both in the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA). https://apsia.org/graduate-schools-programs/member-directory/?sortorder=titleasc&filtercountry=Canada "NPSIA is a fully accredited and founding member of the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA), an association of the leading graduate programs in international affairs in countries that include the United States, Britain, France, Singapore, Korea, Russia, Switzerland, and China". Can someone explain the relevance of this? What's the difference between a ASPIA credited school and one that isn't?
-
When did your Munk app change to 'decision made'?
-
Congrats!!!
-
It shows the same for me too. I'm assuming as others pointed out, it is the courses in your first semester of the program.. You can always email Tabbatha!
-
Wait, I'm confused. It says the same thing for me. I thought we had to take economics before our M.A starts...?
-
Same! I didn't expect them to be working on weekends? Unless its automated or something.
-
Me too. I was looking forward to a nice relaxing summer before grad school, but I guess my summer will be filled up with econ classes. I'm kicking myself that I didn't apply to GSPIA. The pass/fail option looks appealing. My nightmare is not getting the required grades for econ and than have my offer rescinded. The pressure is on!
-
I took a few online courses, and it was ALOT of work. They were social science courses, so I did well in them, since that is my area. I would love to take carleton's online econ courses, but for me personally.. I feel that with a subject like econ, I need to be in person to learn lol
-
I will have to do the required micro and macro required (if I do end up going to NPSIA). I'm in the same position, I already applied to graduate. I was wondering if I can still graduate, but take econ as non degree courses? I don't want to include those classes in my GPA. I'll have to talk to my home school about this. Seriously dreading econ. Math is definitely not my strong suit. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but for Munk you don't need econ, right? If you're accepted, you can just take econ while you're there?
-
Nope. My status and specialization changed, but I haven't received an official offer. The email said 5-8 days, so I'm just trusting that. Plus I kinda hope they send their offer on the 8th day, incase I get offers from other schools (so I have more time to decide).
-
Yay! I just checked mine after you posted this lol. Finally! I was getting a bit worried. I got my first choice: Intelligence and International Affairs!
-
Me too. I emailed Tabbatha about it, but I don't expect a reply since she might be busy with other things
-
Thanks! That makes me feel a little less worried lol
-
Did anyone else get an (unofficial) offer from NPSIA, but their status is stuck on 'Recommended for Assessment'? There is no updated on my specialization either. I'm constantly refreshing this forum to see if anyone had an update for Munk! I'm not sure what's worse, working on the applications or waiting for a response.
-
LOL a part of me wishes I applied to gspia. Tbh I have no idea why I didn't. Also, does anyone know how many people NPSIA accepts??
-
That is so generous! I am definitely PM'ing you!
-
Not going to lie, same. When I saw Tabbatha's name show up in my inbox, especially at this time - I felt like that shook spongebob meme! I had to reread it three times to comprehend the email till I told my parents the news! I am absoloutly elated. But just the fact I have to take micro and macro econ in the summer....... idk how to feel about that
-
I am emailing to inform you that your application to the MA International Affairs program at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs has been reviewed. We are pleased to inform you that your application will be recommended for admission into our Full Time MA program for Fall 2017. OMG!!!!! I GOT INTO NPSIA!!!! CONGRATS EVERYONE WHO GOT ACCEPTED!!!!! I'M LITERALLY JUMPING UP AND DOWN. What a nice email to come home to after a long day of classes!!
-
Ahh, I'm so excited for you!! Congrats again! I applied for Global Politics as my first choice and Media and Communications as my second.
