Got accepted to NPSIA with funding this morning too! Congrats to everyone else as well
Stats:
I'm graduating this May with a BA in IR. 82.2% CGPA (not sure what the 4.0 conversion is. 3.7 maybe), 83.3% GPA for 3-4th year courses. No government work experience, just 4 months of an internship with an NGO last fall. No formal research experience aside from writing research papers/reports for classes and for the NGO. LORs from two professors that I took one course with each last year. Managed to snag a 4-month volunteering position in a relevant IR field for January-April 2019, so included that in my CV. In my statement, I tried to tie in my unrelated job experience to the program (emphasized my leadership skills), indicated the professors I would enjoy learning from and why, and gave a really clear summary of the research I intended to focus on (though not sure if I would still go the research route in the NPSIA program).
Good luck to anyone still waiting. I'm still waiting on Munk and Balsillie.
