    @StrawberryFields67 You are in the MPPA? I accepted an offer for that program as well. Do you know of a Facebook group similar to the NPSIA one posted in this thread?

    Were all informal email offers sent on the same day, or have they been coming gradually?

    Not sure how relevant this is. I just got accepted into the MPPA program at Carleton. Still holding out hope for NPSIA as my first choice, but very relieving to know I have an option and will be in Ottawa this September.

    If anything I would hope that they have extra time to go through applications when all the students are away.

    I had an optimistic thought. This thread is a lot smaller than last year. It is less focused on other similar programs, but maybe it also means there are a lot fewer applicants this year! Maybe there is room for everyone!

    This was me last year. Recommended for assessment is good news in the sense that it means the application is moving through the process, but last year my application stayed on recommended for assessment long after my friends had received offers. I don't want to be a downer, but NPSIA is notorious for being slow and having problems with their system. I was waitlisted, but not told I was waitlisted until after several attempts to email and call in May. Also, I did not receive an actual email telling me of my rejection until October 24, well after the semester had started. Kind of a slap in the face at that point. Still, I remain optimistic for this year.

    Hi, I applied for NPSIA and the MPPA program at Carleton. I don't know which I would choose if I am offered both. My status updated to recommended for assessment. But I also applied last year and was waitlisted for months before eventually being rejected. You shouldn't email them yet. They're just going through everyone's application for the first time right now.
  8. Irwi
    Everything is submitted for me. Hopefully we don't have to wait long to hear back!

    Thanks, that is great. I was aiming for two pages, but the MPPA program specifically says no longer than one page, so I second guessed myself.

    Can anyone help? I cannot seem to find specific requirements for the letter of intent. Other Carleton programs seem to list details like "no more than one page single spaced," but I can't find anything specific for NPSIA. Has anyone figured this out?

    Nice to see the topic up. I applied to NPSIA last year, and graduated in May. I was waitlisted and eventually rejected, but I am definitely reapplying this year. Just wanted to share my perspective. To warn everyone, there are sometimes glitches with the Carleton Central system. I was waitlisted but I had to actively seek this out, as I didn't receive any email informing me of such. As it was I received my official rejection letter only a couple of weeks ago, well after the semester had started. One question I have: are applications open already for this year? I see the deadline, but are we able to submit applications this early? I cannot see that listed anywhere. Thanks!

    I just called Tabbatha at NPSIA. She told me I was placed on hold a while ago and she was surprised that I had not been emailed (status says recommended for assessment). She also said the program is overfull, and there won't be any more offers sent out at least until August, but in actuality she doesn't anticipate any more offers this year at all. This is extremely disappointing to me. Sorry to bear bad news for those of you checking this forum frequently.
  13. Irwi
    Just curious when you had this conversation? Some of us are still waiting to hear from NPSIA, but it sounds like you are saying they are full.
  14. Irwi
    I show the same thing, but did not hear that I was waitlisted. I keep telling myself I will call. My only consolation is that in past year's threads it shows that this same thing happened to people and they later received offers.
  15. Irwi
    A number of people on here had their status changed to "decision made" after they were placed on a waitlist. I believe those emails went out on March 16. You haven't received anything?
  16. Irwi
    Sure. Thanks for the reply. It's good to know at least one other person is experiencing this, as it means I'm probably not just lost in the system due to a computer glitch. Since my earlier post I've been reading posts in threads from previous years. I have learned two things. 1. Apparently Carleton Central is known to be glitchy so the "recommended for assessment" status cannot always be trusted. 2. There are people in this situation every year. I think NPSIA keeps sending rounds of offers right up until the end of May or later. Seeing recommended for assessment during this whole period is common. I relate to the anxiety this can cause, but I have also started to think that there are hundreds of applicants every year, and only the most enthusiastic will seek out a forum like this, so the responses on here are skewed in that direction. There is still time and space. Best of luck to you.

    Does anyone have any idea why my NPSIA application would still say "recommended for assessment" at this point? Is anyone else experiencing this? Everyone I know that has applied has received offers at this point, and clearly some on this forum have been waitlisted. Why would I still be in limbo? I emailed Tabbatha last week but still have not heard back. Other posters here said they have been told that all applicants will have heard some response by the third week of March, or the end of March (conflicting info). Just looking for thoughts or insights.

    Although I am also on the waitlist, I believe they gave three weeks. Some of my friends reported this week as their deadline.
  19. Irwi
    Try not to think of it as a rejection, although I understand. I am waitlisted at Munk and everyone I talk to about it congratulates me like it's an accomplishment while I just feel rejected. I think it's pretty common to get waitlisted and then offered a position later in the summer. Did you hear from NPSIA via email? I have still heard nothing and my status still says recommended for assessment.
  20. Irwi
    Yes I am also waitlisted for Munk, and just changed to decision made. I also have nothing showing on Acorn. I think this is just across the board for all waitlisted.
  21. Irwi
    Hi there, So, if I haven't heard back from NPSIA yet, does this meant I can expect to be waitlisted? I have already been waitlisted by Munk.
