I got an email that my application had been approved and to check Carleton Central!

I'm freaking out....I didn't expect that at all and honestly just feel super overwhelmed lol. 11.68/12 Carleton undergrad, speak three languages (Eng/Fr/Span), development internships in Peru and Malawi, a few jobs on Parliament Hill. Hoping you hear something soon!!!!

Just got my NPSIA funding offer. $30,000. Omg.....
-
Got the same email!!! Congrats everyone!!
-
Thank you!! The wait is brutal. Best of luck!!!
-
Does this mean you're a first round applicant?! If so, congrats!!
-
Thank you!!! My guess is NPSIA will be a lot more affordable, that said. It's all going to come down to money.... Thank you so much!! I applied for Social Policy and Development. Submitted the app at the very end of January (29th?), received LSE ID on February 6th, and received my offer this morning (but apparently it was sent on March 2nd). What did you apply for?! My fingers are crossed!

Well, I have no news re: NPSIA....but I did get an offer today for the London School of Economics which is my first choice!!! I am over the moon Good luck to everyone who is waiting (still waiting on NPSIA here). Threads like these make the wait simultaneously better and more stress-inducing LOL!
-
Social Policy & Development!! Good luck to you too...the wait is killing me!
-
I've also applied to LSE (as my top choice). What did you apply for?
-
Oh man...this is something else.

@Norma955 I'm on Carleton's Model UN team. If you end up at NPSIA the team is really quite good.

I'm finishing up my last semester @ Carleton in public policy.

Hi all!! Happy to have found this thread. I applied to NPSIA (current Carleton student) a few days before the deadline and my current status is "Recommended for Assessment." From what I've seen, offers tend to go out in bulk Mid-March, and then based on who accepts/rejects their offer, another round goes out after depending on the number of spaces left. (For the record - my. last name is an H).

The 'Am I competitive' thread - READ ME BEFORE POSTING
cshal replied to fenderpete's topic in Government Affairs Forum
Program/Institution: MSc Social Policy & Development (LSE) Interests: Public Policy, Governance, NGO Work, International Development Undergrad Institution: Mid-tier Canadian uni Undergraduate Major: Public Affairs & Policy Management Undergraduate GPA: 4.0 Quantitative Courses: Intro to micro/macro econ, a number of stats courses with an emphasis on SPSS GRE: Didn't take (not required for program) Age: 21 Years of Work Experience: Only things I've done throughout uni. 6-week human rights policy internship in Peru with a Peruvian NGO in 2015 conducting research mainly; 4 months in Malawi working in governance in the water sector. I also work as a research assistant for a consultant to the European Commission and have worked for the Parliament of Canada in a few different capacities. Undergraduate Activities: Mentoring within my program, exec member of program's student society, board of directors for student run non-profit, Model United Nations, Engineers Without Borders chapter. Languages: Fluent in English, French, & Spanish. Some level of Chichewa (Malawi) and learning Portuguese at present. LORs: One from Quant prof who I also work for as a research assistant (tenured w/ PhD). Another from public policy prof who is my thesis supervisor and is the CEO of a well-known public opinion polling firm in Canada. Concerns: I'm coming right from undergrad and am most likely younger than a lot of applicants. My grades are good (never received below an A, save for one A-) but my age means I lack in terms of experience and additional education. This is the only program I've found that I'm really, really interested in, so am nervous about putting all my eggs into one basket. Thank you for any feedback or advice!
