    Just received my acceptance from Ryerson

    Honestly!! That's why it's sooo irritating because it was literally due back in December and when you call them it's useless. If this is how useless they are with admissions I don't even want to imagine how shitty they must be once you're actually admitted. So over it lol & they're not Harvard so I really don't understand the length in acceptances/rejections

    Lol I am so appalled at how shitty Ryerson is with sending acceptances/rejections. At this point I'm over it & couldn't care less whether I get rejected or not. I feel like emailing and telling them they're pretty ANNNOYINGGGG

    The small cohort makes the experience better. Profs are amazing and the courses are very interesting so you will enjoy your time. Best of luck!

    Currently finishing up my MA in IR at Mac and it's a great program. You can always ask Mac to give you an extension with acceptance, that's what I did last year.

    UofT's MPP program being 2 years is a con itself, no guarantee of paid internship or internship at all, it's soo expensive as well and the courses seem a lot more boring & heavily quantitive focused.

    If you''re rejected they would email you so don't worry I don't think they're done with sending out acceptances.
  11. mppa
    Yeah, that would be pretty bad to do that

    Congrats. When did you receive your acceptance from Ryerson?
  13. mppa

    Congrats!! I’m still waiting to hear back, it’s my first choice

    You can definitely apply in September, they send out an email. PhD students are the ones with guaranteed TAships and depending on how big your cohort is you are almost always guaranteed a TA position as a graduate student. They almost always need TA's so they typically see grad students as qualified lol.

    Unfortunately not due to work :( and congrats to you!

    Hi. Both programs are very good. Even with UofT you are not guaranteed an internship so that's something to keep in mind. I know someone in the current MPP program at UofT and it sems very econ/stats based so I'm not sure if that is something you were more geared towards. I also know a girl who did the MPA at Queens and landed at a job with the Ministry of Labour (I believe) as a Policy Analyst right after. Although UofT is more prestigious it doesn't hold much value if you don't really have any work experience coming out of a 2 year Masters program and not being able to secure an internship during that time. It is also very expensive and personally, I just didn't see the point of doing a 2 year Masters in Public Policy when I know I can spend a year at another university and gain relevant work experience as well. You should also take a look at the courses offered and see which appeals to you the most. Best of luck!

    You’re absolutely right, some people put too much emphasis on the school and equate that with getting a job. Reality check - if you don’t have the right connections or work experience the likelihood of one getting a job solely based on the school they went to is slim to none.

    I'm still waiting too! I know they're usually a bit later with their acceptances

    Thank you. Yes, I got an email, the formal letter they said will be sent in the next few days. I submitted my application at the end of December/beginning of January but my 2nd reference submitted his a few days before the deadline.
  22. mppa
    Thank you!
  23. mppa
    Got accepted to International Public Policy at Balsillie!
  24. mppa
    I just received an offer of admission for International Public Policy at Balsillie!!
  25. mppa
    Not necessarily. I know a girl who completed her MPA at Ryerson and is now pursuing her PhD in Political Science and Comparative Public Policy.
