applea Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Got an offer to Munk this morning, 10k. Will probably decline - waiting on some other programs. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) I got accepted to BSIA (MAGG) this morning. No information on funding yet. Also not sure if anyone here applied to Queen's MPA program - but I was accepted there today as well. Edited March 1, 2016 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanatrick Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I got into Munk this morning as well - 5k in funding. Will probably turn down because it's still soooo ridiculously expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I should have specified - it was MAGG. I actually got a phone call from them to let me know, so they said that they will be sending a letter that will have all of the details about funding etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably turn down because it's still soooo ridiculously expensive. Also got in this morning (5k in funding as well)! Same as others, I'm waiting on NPSIA and GSPIA and will probably turn down Munk once I hear from one of them. Still a huge relief to have one offer at hand! blaffy78 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanatrick Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) I hope that NPSIA gets back to us sooner rather than later! Last year the first decisions went out on March 10 but every other school this cycle appears to be sending out decisions earlier than usual... Then again it's also possible that they'll send out decisions later than usual. Looking at the thread from last year, nobody at this point was still on the "preliminary review required" or "review in progress by department" stages, but that seems to be where we're all at right now.

Mine has moved on to "review in progress" now. I was also looking over the discussion from last year, and it looks like everyone who was accepted on the 10th was at the "recommended for assessment" stage. Hope they are taking a bit longer this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamShag Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Just accepted to Munk as well. 5k in funding. Received this as I was starting my 4 month backpacking trip. Incredible feeling. Although, I am still hesitant to accept given financial concerns and having already secured an offer and supportive scholarship from GSPIA for 12k. Decisions, decisions ..... blaffy78 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaffy78 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 wow congratulations everyone! for those who got accepted, how come you were thinking of rejecting the munk offers? cost related or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's exactly it. Munk's tuition is $20k a year. Two years of tuition fees plus two years of living expenses in Toronto.... I would really love to go but it's not gonna happen haha.

SNowB Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 yeah 20K for two years is a lot of money. However would it be worth it? With the name recognition (UofT) as well as a pretty solid program, would that be a good tradeoff? I am still waiting on all my schools and trying to make a judgement call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind sharing your stats? IR major GPA 3.9/4.0, ivy grade inflation lol My real interest is in international business and my dream is to become a consultant. Could anyone can speak to the quality of MSc at Ivey school of Business? I am leaning towards ivey at the moment but this could be a decision i regret. Any advice appreciated!!
