Haha, I saved a copy in case they were to try and tell me they never gave me an offer to begin with. No takebacks! LMAO

New week!!! Wishing y'all good luck. 

The thread is dry today... Still a couple hours till the end of the working day. Hoping to hear back from them soon.

I was being sarcastic ahahaah

Definitely do not use google translate.

Correct, I didn't apply for any external funding. It does include 2 years of TAship.

I'd be happy with an acceptance and a $25 gift card to Indigo

I spoke to the Graduate Administrator at the Political Science department at Carleton, and was told that my M.A Poli Sci application is in the top 20 ranking and that I am most likely receiving an acceptance by the 15th with funding. This was my backup program (behind both NPSIA and GSPIA) but that was nice to hear. 

Good luck y'all!!! Please do continue to post updates including rejections  (I'm sure people may lose interest in checking in once they get good/bad news) but please do!!
 

Someone from GSPIA said I could expect answer by the beginning of March so it seems promising!

I don't know much about programs in the field at American universities but want to say congrats!

OMG one of my apps for Carleton moved to 'Review in progress by department'!! ?

Two questions that I have are:
1) From my knowledge, it is actually the opposite, and this excludes NPSIA's typically smaller funding packages....  
UOttawa Tuition Last Year for all Social Sciences MA Programs: $6,330- I added both the fall and winter totals from here, using the filters : http://www.uottawa.ca/university-fees/tuition-fees
Carleton's Tuition Last Year (Specifies their MA Intl. Affairs Program or NPSIA): $8,565: http://carleton.ca/studentaccounts/tuition-fees/fw-gr/fallwinter-2016-17-domestic-graduate-tuition-fees/
2) I'm confused as to how you'd come to the conclusion that GSPIA or UOttawa is more 'leftist'? If so, what is that supposed to mean? Personally speaking, I don't find NPSIA's economics-driven, westocentric, predominantly white, neo-liberal faculty to be somehow more comforting. GSPIA doesn't come across as overtly leftist but it does pay more attention to having a more diverse faculty and course offerings, something that students potentially preparing for careers in public policy ought to have, in my humble opinion. 

According to friends of mine who applied for SSHRC last year, the process is time consuming and the selection process is rigorous. At first, I thought I might take a chance and apply, but its a lot of work and given the strength of my application I don't think I have much of a chance at being selected. That being said, those of you with stellar GPA's and impeccable CVs should definitely give it a shot. $17,000 is nothing to balk at!

I haven't looked into those. Will do that tonight and see if we can discuss it here? 
Anyone else?
