    I'm in the same boat! My status hasn't changed from "recommended for assessment" either. I called Tabbatha on Thursday and she said that means the committee hasn't reviewed my application yet (which doesn't really make sense to me). She said I should get an email some time this week... although I still haven't heard anything. Hopefully we both hear back in the next day or so!

    I got rejected from NPSIA. However, I have already accepted my offer for elsewhere so no sad feelings here. Hopefully you will find out soon and will get in. Best of luck :)

    I have also been waitlisted for Munk but I am not gonna get my hopes up. As for NPSIA I still haven't received an email from Tabbitha. So its not looking so good. My status still says "recommended for assessment" I called her and she said to email her with my Carleton ID and she would get back to me. When I emailed her I received an automatic message:

    "Thank you for your email. Please note that while I am currently in the office I am receiving larger than normal amounts of email so it is taking much longer to respond.  I am also receiving  larger than normal amount of telephone calls and would like to thank you in advance  for your patience during this very busy time."

    Idk if they forgot about me or what? or if I am headed in the rejection pile however would be nice to know where I stand. Anyone else having the same issue?

    I was refused as well. Sad about it but congrats to everyone who got in. Luckily I have 3 other schools to choose from that actually want me but regardless congrats! and for those of us who didn't get in perhaps it was not meant to be.

    I totally get it. I'm going to have to decide between Balsillie and NPSIA and I don't think I'll have all of the NPSIA info before I have to accept or decline Balsillie. I've already concluded I'm going to have to pay the deposit for Balsillie and then potentially lose it depending on what I decide... It really sucks that the deadlines are so spread out.

    I'm sure they'll get back to you soon! I've got my fingers crossed for you :)

    Thank you! hopefully it works out regardless of what the decision is. And NPSIA and Balsillie are both great schools so it's tough decision I am sure whichever you choose will be the right one for you and hopefully it works out for the best :)

    My status hasn't yet reflected the e-mail I received... I'm also unsure as to whether I should end up taking the econ courses when I'm placed on hold. The only reason I'd be taking them is for the NPSIA MA. ~$1200 seems like a lot to gamble with if I could end up getting rejected in the summer :wacko:. I'd also have to quit my job.

    That sucks :( I hate when they say waitlist or put on hold. My friend was put on hold for NPSIA last year until May and they ended up rejecting her so it doesn't really help when they say that

    Don't worry yet! Tabbatha only said in her Friday email that they would begin to let us know today. They probably won't get through everyone in one day. I know that the wait is stressful though!

    I know but like you said its really stressful because you have to make a decision for certain schools and the deadlines are soon. The wait doesn't really help :(

    I haven't received any email and my status hasn't changed. It's still "recommended for assessment". I am assuming I am either gonna get rejected or be put on hold like other applicants....wish they would just tell me so I could move on...

    However, Congrats to those that got in!

    Best of luck everyone!  I suspect we probably won't hear from Tabbatha till this afternoon, does anyone else have an unfounded theory of what time we will hear?

    1

    so I got her email regarding her emailing us about our status changes around 3:50 pm on Friday so it could be anytime before that as well. Also she said in the email she will be beginning to email us on Monday so I assume because there are many applicants she won't get through everyone today. I personally haven't heard anything from her today.

    Did she send that to you as a reply to an email you sent her? 

    I just double checked but I didn't receive any email from her 

    i got that email too. its not a reply to an email I think she just sent it to everyone. It is what I assume.

    See that just sounds ridiculous to me. If they will be ranked against each other when a spot comes up then technically it is by ranking, we just cant know what it is.

    exactly! they are obviously going to assess us again if a space opens up.

    Hmm... I never received this e-mail from Tabbitha.

    check your spam? sometimes emails get placed there for no reason. For NPSIA Tabbitha said the changes in the statuses will occur on Monday for those who have been accepted I guess. Otherwise, we have to keep on waiting. I hate how they are dragging this for so long.

    I also got waitlisted for Munk. Email says: " The MGA has admitted a maximum number of applicants for this fall and should a spot open up between now and September, applicants on the waitlist will be considered for it. Being offered a spot in the program will depend on how many applicants accept our offer of admission. Please note there is no ranking on the waitlist. All applicants on the waitlist will be assessed for a place in the program should one open up. In the past, we have admitted students off the waitlist as late as the end of August. You will only be notified if we want to offer you a spot in the program."

    me too :(

    is that a bad tho?
    I know MUNK has already sent out its first round of offers, and some people's status says 'recommended for assessment' whereas mine hasn't changed, so I'm a little worried at this point.

    I don't think it's bad. Hopefully, we will hear from them soon and the 'recommended for assessment' status belongs to NPSIA, because I haven't heard of such status for Munk.

    So lets hang in there.

    My deadline for Munk was March 15 so I went ahead and accepted their offer. In the grand scheme of things it's not much more expensive than other Ontario universities...$20k/year as opposed to around $14k/year for Canadian students at Carleton or Waterloo...

    I know BSIA has already sent out 1st round offers so couldn't count on them, and between Munk and NPSIA I think Munk is best for me based on my research interests.

    Congrats! Munk is a great school and I agree every grad school is expensive better to go to one that you will enjoy regardless of the debt lol
