[Too old?]

Thanks a lot, this is very encouraging. What do you think my “cool factor” could be? I was hoping to mention what I learned about how diplomacy really works from the whole political process of the Philippines taking China to court over the South China Sea in an off-the-record briefing with diplomats when I was covering that beat as a journalist.

 

See if you can publish some of your work in the Monkey Cage. It could be a good barometer to see if political scientists are interested in your work as well. They straddle political science and policy.

I disagree. McGill has some fairly decent placements in the US, though obviously their focus is the Canadian market and not the American one because that's where the bulk of their students are from. Toronto also specifically advertises that their students successfully place both into the Canadian and American markets. I'd just like to see for myself via a tangible list, which I have yet to find.

I think there is a reason why they don't publish it... They definitely would put it online if they placed well in the United States.

Still haven't heard from Toronto for the MA. Does anyone know if they're sending out more acceptances or should I consider it as a rejection?

McGill just sent me an email saying that I'm on the waiting list, so prob all the offers are already made

Are you applying for a PhD or a Masters??

Does anyone know how long applications generally take from being in review to having a result?

My application at Mcgill is "in review" since yesterday. No news from UBC. 

Mine still says 'submitted'... At least it doesn't say 'rejected' haha.

I heard that UBC extended their deadline for some programs..so you could consider that. 

Their deadline for the MA in Political Science was the first week of January unfortunately.

In other news, has anyone heard from other schools yet? I'm surprised there aren't more of us participating on the Canadian thread this year.

Does anyone know when we can expect to hear back from Canadian universities?

So what would you recommend? That we don't go to non top 10 school?

I'm applying to Toronto and McGill, as well as some universities in my home country, for an MA in comparative politics. I'm wondering if I should add more applications...
