anyone going to Munk wants to start the facebook group for Class of 2021 with me? I need at least one person to start the group and be the admin too. Please let me know. ?

I haven't heard anything either after I accepted my offer. Was feeling kind of paranoid about it haha.
Just got an email (finally!) from Kevin saying, "Thanks for getting in touch. No emails have gone out as of yet. You can expect to hear from us throughout the summer." Last year was early but I guess this year, we'll hear from them starting June. Anyways, no worries now. Congrats on being accepted at Munk!

Has anyone who was admitted to Munk accepted their offer yet? Would anyone be interested in forming a group on FB? I have so many questions & figured maybe students could share their knowledge with each other
@lily22 Has one already been made? I have a lot of questions too!

Hey all, popping into this thread to offer some advice and guidance for anyone who needs it. I've just graduated from Munk, so I've got lots to say about the program (I also got accepted to NPSIA and GSPIA).
I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!
@Kaspara How was your experience at Munk? I will be starting there this fall and would like to know how everything related, from classes to networking opportunities and so on. Thanks!

I was put on the waitlist last year and I emailed the old MGA coordinator a ton for updates (at least once a month). They probably got annoyed with me but it was worth it to email them because they were very realistic with my chances, and their responses allowed me to move on from the program and start looking for a job.
They flat out told me that they over-admitted students -- they admitted 120 students instead of 80 -- and they would only start to accept off the waitlist if the number dropped back to 80. They also told me there were still another 80 other students ON the waitlist. The chances of being admitted off the waitlist were thus slim to none and I was encouraged to pursue other avenues and reapply the next year.
Even if they can't tell you your chances (re: rankings), they may be able to be honest with you in the likelihood of the waitlist opening up anytime soon.
Hi @lily22 have you been getting any emails from MGA? Last year, we got Welcome emails on April (I was accepted last year and then later deferred). This year, not yet and May is almost over. The new coordinator also doesn't seem to reply to any of my emails. I called them too but no answer.

Hello all,
To those who have been accepted to the MGA program at Munk, have you been getting any more emails from them? I have been sending emails to Kevin and havent been getting any emails since May 14. Last year, when I accepted the offer, Megan sent "Welcome" email in April (I later deferred) and this year, I haven't gotten it and May is going to be over soon. Is this true to those who have accepted their offer as well? International student here. Please let me know!

Hi guys!
I have just been accepted to the MGA program off the waitlist!! I am still deciding between UoT, UCSD School of Global Policy and Strategy and Johns Hopkins SAIS. Considering that I am an international student, do you think I would have more opportunities to find an employment in Canada than in the USA? I would like to work in the consulting/financial/economic sectors and I know that SAIS has a lot of connections in that field. I do not know so much about Munk.
Thankshello @Fabri89
Congratulations! I will also be attending Munk this fall. I am an international student as well, from the US. Where are you coming from?

Congratulations to both you and @MGA2018!!!! Are you going to accept your offer?
Dang, I guess Megan didn't really mean that Munk "won't be admitting off the waitlist anytime soon." I'm still holding out.
@lily22 thanks so much! Yes, I just accepted the offer. I received the email yesterday so I’m confident more people are being admitted off the waitlist. Good luck and I hope you hear good news from them soon!
-
Got accepted off the waitlist as well yesterday!

@limbsun You've decided on GSPIA, then ?
I went to the open house this weekend and the faculty is absolutely beautiful, I could really picture myself there haha !
Yeah, I think we should make one ? It's a nice way of getting to know everyone ^^
If I was near Ottawa I would have gone to the open house as well. Glad to know that you loved it! Now I am getting excited as well. Yes, I have decided on GSPIA since I got waitlisted from Munk and haven't heard back from two programs at Waterloo..
-
I emailed MGG and she said they are still reviewing applicant till April.
-
@Chuupa don't think so, we should prolly make one?
-
@Lights Hi, did you already receive your acceptance offer from MGG? I checked mine on quest and it still says that department has not made any decision yet.
-
Got waitlisted too! I am going to GSPIA if I don’t hear back by May. So disappointing..
-
@sunshine18 Congrats on getting into NPSIA! I accepted my offer from GSPIA (second choice) so I am not too stressed about this; however, I too hope we both get in! I have a strong feeling we will definitely hear back by the end of next week. Munk is my first choice as well!
-
It should look like this. @sunshine18
-
@sunshine18 From what I have seen on previous threads, the "invited" should appear below "Degree Registration Status." I am not sure how to get to Acorn but I guess you can just type it out on google and get to the acorn login page? Hope this helps.

How do you check acorn? wouldn't your status be on the sgs website?
You login here: https://idpz.utorauth.utoronto.ca/idp/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO?execution=e1s1
You should have received an email regarding your UofT JoinID.
-
@spadeofhearts Also wanted to ask you, when did you submit your MGA application?
-
@spadeofhearts Congrats to you and everyone who got in! I check Acorn regularly too but still no "invited". Now I am thinking maybe I did not get accepted to the program... anybody else have 'invited' on your Acorn account?
-
This thread is for those who have applied to Balsillie's MIPP and/or MGG program. Did anybody hear back from either programs? I applied to MGG.
-
@Chuupa Omg congrats!! Are you planning to accept your offer from GSPIA or are you also waiting to hear back from other programs?
-
@deanlavi heyy, welcome to the thread! Your stats and work experience sound great. My main research interests also lie in post-conflict transformation. Is your 3.7 the gpa of your final year? I'm also stuck with "under review" for over a month already and I'm pretty sure others in the thread are too (it has been pretty quiet here). I have been checking sgs and starting to get anxious. Hopefully, we will all hear back early-mid March!
-
@Chuupa Hey, I think the status remains "under evaluation" until you finally move to "Accepted." I checked an hour early before getting accepted and it said: "under evaluation." Good luck and I hope you'll hear good news in a few days/weeks.
Also, CONGRATS to all who have been accepted to NPSIA!!! I kinda regret not applying there lol
Applying to Munk 2019, NPSIA, GSPIA, BSIA etc.
