Why wouldn't they just say "waitlisted" then? I wonder how many people will end up being on hold.

I really dont know. I have the econ requirements and am not applying for the joint program. Idk which genius came up with the idea of telling candidates their application has been put on hold. Makes it sound like theres something missing in the application.

I just got accepted to GSPIA about half an hour ago, but as it was well down below Munk on my list, I expect I'll be rejecting it.

Just a few minutes later I got the following e-mail from NPSIA:

 

 

 

 

So I'm not really sure if that's a conditional acceptance, a waiting list or a rejection, but I'm not a fan of all the uncertainty...wish they'd just give a yes or no response.

I got put on hold too  i called she basically said that means waitlisted. ? So sad.

ugh, i haven't received an email from Tabitha but I suppose it's because I'm applying to PhD? Is it okay if I email them to ask about it?

Applying for MA but havent heard yet either. It does say "starting" Monday though haha maybe just be patient. They probably are receiving lots of emails anyway. Good luck!

Yeah you are basically going to be assessed against other waitlisted people.. Or at least thats how I understood it

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.

Thank you for your encouraging words really means a lot

 

Just curious.. How many round of offers does munk have anyways? 

I'm not sure about rounds but they only admit 80 students per year (according to the FAQ section). But it also seems like quite a few candidates offered choose to accept admissions elsewhere! Someone in admissions might be able to help answer that. x

Hi everyone, just discovered this forum! 

I go to UBC, and only applied to MGA because I was so determined to get in... Haven't heard back yet so now I'm feeling like a total dumbass for taking such a big risk -.-

 

Anyone else from UBC on this forum? 

And what do you think chances are like for someone with an 82% final year average, 2 very strong recommendation letters, and a decent SOP with good content and maybe some small grammatical mistakes? 

I'm so screwed if I don't get in... Tired of being patient urrgh!! 

 

Also, congrats to everyone who got accepted already

Lol don't doubt yourself! I hope you get in  I had a much much lower GPA than that so I'm just glad I got accepted to GSPIA. All the best! 

 

Anyone know if second round of offers have gone out for MGA? Or anywhere else?

we have to be patient. I was looking at previous forums and most applicants got notified March 18-25. But honestly it is so hard to focus on anything I just keep checking my applications

That is quite late considering some people have to make a decision by this week! My letter from gspia said by march 29th. Anyone else?

Hi everyone,

I also received acceptance emails from the MIPP program and from GSPIA. Just wondering why people are leaning towards GSPIA as opposed to Munk for example (other than for financial reasons). I kinda assumed the MGA program is "better". Took a look at their courses and damn they look awesome! Even in comparison to GSPIA. I had a pretty low GPA so I'm not expecting to hear from others. They will send u a response either way, right? 

All the best! xx
