It’s not usual for schools like this. An automatic email is peanut. Now I am facing difficulties: queens one year or Ottawa two yrs, I will do PhD afterwards . Any suggestions?

Go to Ottawa, getting accepted to a PhD program almost always requires a thesis. Of which you cannot do during the Queens program. If a PhD is your goal you need to do a thesis. More specifically, if the PhD is in some sort of policy your MSc in Computer Science will likely not help. Granted, you should take this with a grain of salt as I am not a PhD student.

I applied to those schools as well. I'm still waiting to hear back. Has your Queens status changed at all? Mine has remained as application submitted. 

Nope, it still remains "Application Submitted".

Have you heard anything yet? I've been checking my emails and application statuses nonstop. The wait is making me anxious. Good luck to all of us. ☺️ ☺️ ?

I can only speak to the schools I've applied to; UofT MPP, Queens MPA, and Carleton MPPA. Each of schools have told me that admissions will start going out around the end of February - beginning of March.

Solid scores. Make sure your PS is well written. I expect that you would be a competitive candidate for all three institutions. 

Do you mind sharing your stats? Curious as you indicated it you were accepted to the same programs I have applied to.
