Did you mean for your application? Well when it comes to MPP related - I always feel they prefer if you have had some sort of research and writing experience. Volunteer stuff and extra curricular does help but I feel with research experience puts you further. And having your research supervisor being your recommendations helps even more! I sometimes like to correlate how applying to MPP programs is like Law in how they holistically look at applications. I made it to law but decided I prefer policy instead so my writing approach was about the same. Having experience working in public service would be beneficial too. I had all of those experience and was part of varsity throughout my undergrad. A key word to recognize and learn to utilize is the word ' interdisplinery' in the personal statement. My undergrad was not political sci. but I recognize what MPP was about and linked it to how my undergrad and research experience in that field would help me in MPS.

Just curious how many students does UT accept for its incoming class? And other schools? For City Girl: Did u accept for Waterloo MPS? You are aware that the MPS program is actually located off campus in uptown Waterloo that close by enough to the main campus. Semi disappointed by that but it made sense - I couldn't see where the MPS can be held on main campus. Sooo just a fyi when u figure out where to rent a place.

To Bellas above me. MPS at Waterloo does not offer funding and TAship because they are a course base master and not thesis according to their website and that why your MA in PS has funding bc it is thesis base. Having anything like an internship/coop is actually consider a strong front in additional to your studies. Course base and the team base assignment in the last term of MPS offers more 'apply' approach than the MA. So it really depends if you like to do a thesis or take courses too. Review the MPS courses too. I know I have only been aiming for a course base masters. Plus you would most likely make back $15K or more with the 8 month coop. I finally join this forum because I been accepted to MPS at Waterloo too. I honestly wanted people opinion on this program? Does anybody know anybody who in or has done the MPS at Waterloo? Their thoughts and opinions on it? I primarily like it the most because it has co-op. It was the only master program I applied for this year, I got dejected the last year or two when I only got waitlisted to Munk School of Global Affairs at UT. I certainly don't apply to enough schools - I get tired just crafting one perfect personal statement lol. I am interested in the international policy stuff. Right now for me is either do the master or look for a job.
