19, 288 dollars for NPSIA plus a TAShip! Weird amount? But yay!
-
You and me both! Fingers crossed
-
Amazing offer! Congrats
-
She did not mention international students! She just said early this week all offers will be finalized.
-
GSPIA told me that they will have all the finalized offers by early this week.
-
This wait is killing me! It's getting hard to focus on other things when you're awaiting offers. We will all have some big decisions to make!
-
I'm sure yours will change soon Mine changed to review in progress by FGPA yesterday afternoon for some reason. Hoping we get some offers today!
-
Did your status change to review in progress by FGPA?
-
Nothing from GSPIA either - they're taking their sweet time over there considering I was in the "last stage of the offer process" two weeks ago lol
-
Anything from NPSIA?
-
Same!!!
-
I know the Carleton MPPA program you need both micro/macro and a political institutions course? That is definitely turning me away from the program - two econ courses is enough for one summer IMO.

The people I've met at GAC, have mostly been NPSIA grads to be honest. I've only met a few from GSPIA. NPSIA seems to be very well regarded at GAC - all of my directors know about the program and think very highly of it. Honestly, I was more GSPIA before I got accepted to NPSIA but I think after getting accepted there it's changed my perspective. I think I would feel odd turning it down you know? I love GSPIA's wide range of faculty - their professors impress me more than the ones at NPSIA. I've also heard GSPIA has smaller class sizes which I think is beneficial for getting to know your professors/make connections for outside employment. However, I don't like the idea of doing an MRP to be honest - I'd rather do courses like at NPSIA. (The courses at NPSIA look unreal). Also in terms of coop opportunities, I always thought GSPIA had a better, more official coop program but after working at GAC.. it's all coop students from NPSIA? Basically - GSPIA pros: faculty, smaller class sizes, more "official" coop program, good opportunities to go on embassy internships. Cons: less recognition than NPSIA ( but it's growing). NPSIA pros: awesome courses, international recognition, good placements at GAC. Cons: less diverse faculty, bigger class sizes.

I agree. Well if anyone ends up taking some econ classes this summer in Ottawa it would be awesome if we could do some group study seshes! Just a thought
-
Did you do this course at Carleton?
-
Yeah I tried doing an online history course last semester and my god... it was more time than an in person course. Also, the online micro/macro course at Carleton goes from may-august. I know uOttawa offers a micro and macro courses in the summer and you can do the course in "sessions" aka like may 1-june 12, june 19-july 31, etc. I would personally rather get it over with early in the summer so I think I would almost rather do the two in-person econ courses at uOttawa. I also suck at math so this should be interesting!
-
Yup - this is correct for Munk. I wish it was like that at NPSIA too. I know for GSPIA you can take the courses in the summer or you can do one course in the fall that's a pass or fail.
-
Do you think it's better to do Econ in person? The online course in the summer looks good - but I'm wondering if an online econ course would be easier/harder
-
Anyone planning on doing their econ prereqs this summer? Carleton has an online micro/macro summer course!
-
It's weird because I technically got in first round with the email on Tuesday night... but did not receive the official offer. I'm not sure if I'm still first round or now if I'm in the second round? It's kinda scary because I was hoping to still get good funding. Or it could be simply random? I think one person got 15k on the first day of official offers from NPSIA and yesterday someone else got 25k.. so maybe it's not necessarily that the best funding offers went out last week only.
-
Is it bad I still haven't gotten the official offer from NPSIA yet? Getting nervous lol
-
AMAZING! Thank you
-
I know in an undergrad, if you do a full-time fswep term, you need to be a full-time student the next term. So I technically I need to be a full-time student this summer. I guess my question is, does me accepting my master's offer make me a full-time student then in the summer?
-
Also, side note question. Is anyone familiar with FSWEP? I finished my undergrad in December and I took on a full-time FSWEP this semester. However, with FSWEP, if you do a full time term, you need to be a "full time student" for the following term, in my case summer. Since I am now a master's level status, I thought that if I did two economics courses + had my proof of full-time master's enrollment - that would suffice. I know for undergrad, full-time is usually 4 courses... but since I'm not an undergrad anymore, I shouldn't have to do four courses to be seen as "full-time" if that makes sense? I've heard that as soon as you accept your master's offer you're seen now as a full-time student - even in the summer. I guess I'm just confused! When I accept my master's, and do two econ courses this summer, am I technically a full-time student now?
