I feel like SSHRC is more prestigious, but the money is actually almost the same if I'm not mistaken ($15000 as long as you have 3 full-time terms of study vs $17500, right?). Also, I think that SSHRC is portable (so if you get offered the award it can be used at any of the unis you put on your SSHRC application - I think any Canadian university basically). So wouldn't have to sway your choice to one school or another. No, I missed out on applying to OGS, which I regret. The one nice thing about SSHRC is the schools will usually top it up - independent of other funding you're getting, so it works out to usually be between $22,500 and $24,000. I also thought that was the case when I applied, but that is no longer true. When the CGS-M was centrally adjudicated, it used to be portable but now that they're done at the university level, you have to petition the school to allow you to take it elsewhere.

Oh, that's too bad that it's no longer easily portable. It doesn't really make sense because the SSHRC decisions generally come out after one might have to accept/reject offers.

SSHRC decisions are out!!! (or at least some of them) I was offered it for the 2 schools that I applied to. Do you know how top ups work (e.g. should I email the school where I've accepted their admissions offer and ask if they'll top up my SSHRC)? I was leaning towards doing the course based track at NPSIA (because that's possible with OGS) but I'm pretty sure that if one accepts SSHRC one has to do MRP or thesis track. So I'd probably only opt for MRP/thesis track if NPSIA tops it up (e.g. if I can get more than just the $2500 extra from SSHRC vs. OGS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you're correct about having to do the MRP or thesis route at NPSIA. I poked around Carleton's site a bit this weekend and couldn't find any info on them topping up SSHRC, which is weird because everywhere else I got offered SSHRC, the school extends funding. I may try calling someone today - but let me know if you come across the info first! As far as how the topping up works, the schools should send you an email letting you know how that process works.

Could you message me to let me know what they say by phone? I also haven't come across that info on their website. I've already turned down my other offers (perhaps a bit prematurely, in hindsight), so am definitely going to NPSIA, but of course I wouldn't say no to a top-up on funding from them!

Irwi Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Does anyone have any idea why my NPSIA application would still say "recommended for assessment" at this point? Is anyone else experiencing this? Everyone I know that has applied has received offers at this point, and clearly some on this forum have been waitlisted. Why would I still be in limbo? I emailed Tabbatha last week but still have not heard back. Other posters here said they have been told that all applicants will have heard some response by the third week of March, or the end of March (conflicting info). Just looking for thoughts or insights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I actually never ended up getting any updates and my application is also still on Recommended for Assessment. I was just going to wait till the end of this week and try contacting her again. If she emails you back, let us know what she said cause I'm also confused as to why we haven't heard back with any sort of decisions.

It's good to know at least one other person is experiencing this, as it means I'm probably not just lost in the system due to a computer glitch. Since my earlier post I've been reading posts in threads from previous years. I have learned two things. 1. Apparently Carleton Central is known to be glitchy so the "recommended for assessment" status cannot always be trusted. 2. There are people in this situation every year. I think NPSIA keeps sending rounds of offers right up until the end of May or later. Seeing recommended for assessment during this whole period is common. I relate to the anxiety this can cause, but I have also started to think that there are hundreds of applicants every year, and only the most enthusiastic will seek out a forum like this, so the responses on here are skewed in that direction. There is still time and space. Best of luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deadline to respond to offers for the MPPGA was March 30, if that helps! They will likely send out another round of offers soon.

MPPA_2019 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hey guys, A long time lurker here. I have some insight about Carleton's second round. I applied early March from the MPPA program so I'm fully aware that I'm applying for the second round. This is because the deadline is extended until May 1st for this program. For those applying to NPSIA, the deadline for entrance is actually August 31st. This means offers can be made up till that date and they are still rolling admissions. I highly doubt new applications are coming in now. For those in the "recommended for assessment" phase for the MPPA, I spoke to the graduate coordinator and he said that there's a good chance they will wait until after May 1st to make additional offers, when all the applications are in by the final deadline. As for NPSIA, I'm not entirely sure what their assessment timelines are - but it appears they are able to make offers right until the end of August. So to put our minds slightly at ease, no news, is good news. Here's a link to the deadlines from the Faculty of Graduate Affairs: https://gsapplications.carleton.ca/deadlines.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
