    Wow. I had no idea they even dished that much out. Share your stats!?!? I'm just sitting here refreshing my email every second.

    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!!!!

    The London School of Economics??? You are pretty much confirmed for a NPSIA offer then lmao. My guess is NPSIA offers will go out next week or so, perhaps the week after that.

    Thank you!!! :) My guess is NPSIA will be a lot more affordable, that said. It's all going to come down to money....

    That's amazing, congratulations!!

    May I ask for what program you got accepted for and when you applied? I applied to LSE in mid January, but my app is still 'under consideration'. 

    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!

    Hi everyone! I've been following this thread for a while, so I thought I'd finally post as I am also anxiously waiting for Munk. Good to know that our wait should be over early/mid next week.

    I've been accepted into UBC's MPPGA program; has anyone heard anything about this one? It's a newer program (currently in its second year).

    I also applied to the University of Oxford, King's College London and London School of Economics and Political Science, but they were all long shots! I don't expect to hear from these until the end of the month.

    I've also applied to LSE (as my top choice). What did you apply for? :)

    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).

    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!
