  1. Imagine having 3 degrees from the same university lol.. your undergrad, masters and PhD. Or both of your graduate degrees from the same university, apparently it doesn't look good when applying to academic positions, and this is what many profs have told me in the past. I think it's also because connections have been built already, and possibly the inability to adapt to different environments where grading, and teaching is very different.
  2. Munk is definitely more professional. It's also important that your Masters and PhD are from different universities (from what profs have told me). I would probably pick a less professional program for Masters if you know 100% you want to go into academia and then do a PhD a UofT. That's a common pattern I've seen with a lot of profs.
  3. Nope. But I changed everything I could. from my statement of intent, I gained more experience in the policy and government field, I was able to get new references and I’m hoping that a current Masters will make my application stronger too.
  4. It is still a bit early for them to be sending out acceptances.
  5. I did my undergrad at WLU so I'm not sure if my application process was different but I uploaded everything on LORIS and it shows all documents were received. At the bottom it says "Your application documents are received by the university in real time. You do not need to confirm or verify completion of your application once you have uploaded all of the required (and/or applicable) documents. Click on Review & Save My Copy to ensure that all of your documents are viewable as a standard PDF file, and to retain a consolidated file copy for your own records." If something is missing they would have reached out to inform you.
  6. I applied to Balsillie and Ryerson's MPPA. Currently completing my Masters in IR. From my understanding the Munk school is now combined with UofT's Public Policy program? I'm not 100% sure tho but if so I would assume it would be heavily policy oriented rather than international development. it all depends on your interests tho, Balsillie has a great Global Governance program as well
  7. I applied to Balsillie. The only email I got were the reminders about reference(s) not being submitted but that's all...
  8. I applied to Ryerson again. I'm currently a Masters student, I applied last year but didn't get in. Ryerson is usually later with their acceptances and rejections from experience.
