@lew thank you! ?

I applied for the MIPP program. There has been no feedback at all so I'm curious. I hear that the program is small so crossing my fingers

I haven't heard anything from NPSIA and my status on the site still hasn't changed. I'm assuming that she said she would be sending first round offers starting yesterday. I also still haven't heard anything from Balsillie school application. I might call in tomorrow because they have been very quiet

still haven't heard anything from most of my schools. I hope that I will hear back from someone by tomorrow. If not I guess results will be in next week.

Has it been put in motion yet?I'm wondering whether you I want to get into so much debt for schools like Munk. Does it apply to students starting in 2016?

any responses for second round other than GSPIA? I just checked NSPIA and Munk and still under review

Has anyone heard anything today? I haven't heard back from any of the schools and I'm wondering if they are all just going to make offers in the second round of admissions which will be by mid-march

Yeah I did some research/digging and I noticed that students form NPSIA and GSPIA seem to have more amazing work experiences then U of T students. I am curious as to what Munk students end up doing after graduating. I thought that maybe the MGA degree is broad in that you have opportunities to work either in private/public sector. Whereas GSPIA and NPSIA are more geared to federal positions as well as some IO's and NGO's

np. Yeah i know them in relation to management consulting. Well its good to know that. I heard Munk has opportunities within IMF, World Bank so maybe Munk is more suited to IB Banks?

Yes I heard their MsC program is pretty new, I was looking into it a while ago. I know with CEMS you can do the exchange abroad. They advertise as being the premier business school in the country. I know they do the case study approach which is why maybe they attract so many of the management consultancy firms. I think they have some pretty solid connects due to pretty impressive alumni as well as there reputation

@lumberjack23 I know that Ivey has the MsC in International Business program. From what I have heard they have a good reputation. I have noticed that most go on to management consulting positions, but I would have to double check

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

are they doing this alphabetically or in order of when applications were sent in? So nervous!

Did you guys receive an e-mail or did you check the site?

yes hopefully. Just want to get over this stressful wait

oh ok. I was reading the thread for last year this time and most were saying that they were recommended for assessment, which is one step after review in progress. I hope that doesn't mean that responses are later this year

has anyone seen a change in their status for any of the schools? I'm too anxious/scared to check

Yeah I've heard the npsia also offers internships.

@blaffy78, yes I heard about the internships. So if you can compensate via these internships I'm assuming they pay very well depending on the type of internship of course? Yeah I'm pretty impressed by the program. I did business as my undergrad, so I wanted to work in development banks. I want to get as much work experience as possibe in terms of internships etc during my studies

I've read and heard that people are hesitant about attending Munk because of the high tuition costs and the lack of funding. However I like the program. Would it be a good gamble to attend the school because it is a lot of money. Have there been any feedback from graduates of the Munk program?

I applied to all four schools: Munk, NPSIA, Balsillie and GSPIA. Wondering whether I should have applied to more?? My grades were nothing special but I have international work experience. Wondering how much that is taken into consideration. I'm assuming we will hear responses within the next month or so?
