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!
Sent you a pm! Thanks again in advance! :--]

Hey guys!
Congratulations to everyone on here who got in!
I'm a domestic student and Carleton Central for NPSIA still says "under review by department". I'm slightly confused as this means that I'm on waitlist or that I'm not getting in? Doesn't NPSIA send out rejections if that's the deal?
I did email Tabattha last week about it but still haven't heard back. Also, are NPSIA admissions all out now (except international?)
Thanks
my offer for npsia expires on monday and i know for a lot of my friends who got an extension, their offer expires on the same day. i think second round offers have already gone out so you may possibly be waitlisted (idk) but anyway, you should probably hear back next week, as more people make their final decisions on monday on which offers to accept and spots open up!

has a facebook group for munk been created?
-
im in the same boat right now where I'm choosing between a fully funded degree at NPSIA vs the MGA at Munk with absolutely $0 in funding.
for those who have already chosen Munk/are most likely going to go with Munk, would you mind sharing some of the factors that made you choose Munk?

For anyone still waiting on Balsillie MAGG, I emailed the Program Director and he got back to me pretty quickly with a time estimate and confirmed I was put on their 'reversion list'/waitlist. Just thought I'd share in case anyone was in the same boat.
would you mind sharing what the time estimate for emails is?

Wow well that would be super embarrassing on my end if I wasn't actually invited to the program as I told my entire family about my acorn status and have been secretly planning my future at Munk for the next two years...
ME LMAO a big mood

For my NPSIA funding package, it says on Carleton Central that they are for 2019 - 2020 and I am just wondering if anyone knows if that amount is for over the two years as a whole, or if they will be recalculating the funding for 2020/2021?
Edit: Never mind, I just re-read my letter and realized all the information was online lol
-
has everyone's application status for NPISA moved to "recommended for assessment"? mine is still at "preliminary review required" so I'm a little worried!

I had the same issue. My reference is time-stamped at approximately 2:00am on Feb 1 even though it was sent in on Jan 31. I am sure they are aware of this issue and count it as of the actual date it was sent in?
i emailed the graduate information coordinate (for Carleton generally, not NPSIA) and she said that even though processing times may take a bit to show up, they are able to see what time that referees submitted the form. so hopefully, even though the "received" date shows up as later than the Jan 31st deadline, it should be fine!
good luck to everyone!
-
for NPSIA, does anyone know if references get a couple extra days to get their letters in or everything was due on the 31st? i submitted all my documents before the deadline but Carleton Central says that one of my references are still not in so I'm getting a little worried

Hello I am an international student and I applied to NPSIA January 2. I have a Masters in Public Health (Health Policy and Management) and working experience also. But I am not an economics major, is anyone here in the same category?
i don't think you need to be an economics major, i know if you haven't fulfilled the basic economics requirement, you can still receive an acceptance but it will just be conditional on if you get that credit by the time the fall semester starts
what streams did you guys pick for NPISA?
-
is anyone else applying to balsillie? how long did it take for your QUEST emails to come in?

That's what I was thinking as well because I could have sworn I looked at the MGA website in October and the video component wasn't there. I'll be doing mine tomorrow. Ahh
yes, they added the component later in! i remember looking at it and being really confused because i had previously checked the website the day before and it wasn't there. so hopefully!!! this isn't being weighed that heavily!
good luck! you get around a three second warning (they do those little beeps to warn you) at the end of the 5 minute prep session before they start recording. it kind of threw me off when they started recording right away, so be mindful of that.
did you submit the rest of your application documents already?

Wow that's a bit terrifying. I guess they are really adding this component to stream people out. I wonder how heavily it weighs compared to other aspects of the application
i hope its not weighed heavily LOL
the thing is that the video component is not included in the SGS document submission checklist so i am wondering if they added this to stream out people who haven't read the application instructions? or maybe this is just me thinking wishfully because i do not think i will do well on this part LOL.
i just completed mine and the question was not difficult but it was just very nerve wracking to do!

I've been procrastinating on that as well. I don't know what questions they'll ask? Like will it be a specific global affairs issue that's happening now?
have you done the practice questions yet? all the questions were in such unrelated areas of international affairs, i have no idea how to prepare for this
-
for those who are applying to munk, did you guys identify a research area in the "proposed area of study" section of the online application or just one of the three streams of the program?

I've been done for a few weeks now! Just been hesitant on submitting my statements - always feel like I can keep improving them, ya know? Goal was to get them in by Jan 1 though! All my references are in, so that's nice peace of mind. It's nice how they let your references submit before you submit your statements. They must be swamped with letters.
I have a really niche topic that most schools don't really tackle, so I'm only applying to (in ranked order): NPSIA, U of Calgary, Munk.
How about yourself?
I am also applying to Munk and NPSIA, as well as the global governance program at BSIA. My top choices are between Munk and BSIA right now. I'm still currently working on my statements so I am kind of kicking myself in the butt for not starting earlier LOL.
If you don't mind me asking, did you submit your video question portion of the Munk application yet? I was surprised when they added it onto the application requirements this year and am a little bit nervous since there doesn't seem to be much you can do to prepare!
-
hello! thanks for starting this thread, i couldn't find many others on international/global affairs programs for 2019. how far into your application process are you? i have contacted and secured my referees but due to a crazy fall semester, i am only now starting my personal statement, so i am a little concerned that i am behind! are you applying to any other schools?

Hi everyone,
I'm a recent graduate with a bachelor's in Public Administration. Decided recently that I want to get into political economy, and I plan to apply for NPSIA. But I have a B+ average from my last two years, and my only experience is me volunteering in the school's UN Student Organization, and currently I intern for an international research group. Does anyone know if that's enough, or should I say fuck it, cuz my grades are pretty shite...
Thanks for the comment and advice
hi there! i currently go to carleton and what i have heard is that generally NPSIA weighs experience very heavily so i would say don't lose hope just because you don't have a perfect GPA. i think the fact that you intern for an international research group and are involved in IR extracurriculars are def beneficial, especially if u were able to raise your gpa a bit over this past semester. you meet the minimum grade requirements so i would say as long as you have a strong statement, your application stands a chance so don't give up yet!

hey guys, i can't seem to find any other threads on this topic, but just wondering how everyone else's applications are going? what schools are you applying to?
Applying to Munk 2019, NPSIA, GSPIA, BSIA etc.

I just checked my email and it went into my junk folder, so I wouldn't have caught this if it wasn't for you, thank you!
