Me.
i have applied for Munk, Carleton, Ottawa, Queen’s and McGill. But I had no background of public policy, and I am getting nervous. I applied since I found that my interest lies here finally.
could anyone evaluate my stats please?
I am 30 yo, originally from Hong Kong and had a master of computer engineering from McMaster in 2013, during which my thesis was mix of software and laws. Undgrad GPA 85, and grad is 90. Again they are all engineering courses.
i then cofounded a startup and then worked for IBM Toronto for 5 yrs.
Interested in economics and public policies, so self studied on coursera and gained around ten certificates including micro, macro, policy making, public economics etc.
had some voluntary activities and serve as a local executive for a federal political party.
love wiring about Canadian public issues such as healthcare, corporate welfare, industrial policies etc
now i am very worried about getting nothing in the end as I really had no official experience in this field!!
