[2019 Canadian MPPA/MPP/MPA Hopefuls]

I often heard from professors and professionals that it looks good on a resume to have attended different schools because it indicates your adaptability for new environments, interpersonal abilities, and other soft skills. That being said however, it would be foolish to disregard the reputation/ranking of the different programs, especially if they are vastly different.

I would choose MPP over MPPGA for the new academic environment, new potential professional connections and that it is significantly more affordable (it will certainly be lighter on your student debt if you have any). Also, if you want to work in the energy sector, I would think that Calgary would be optimal.

Good insight - thanks.

Hello everyone, I have a big decision to make and am hoping for some advice/clarity. I have been admitted to UBC MPPGA and Calgary MPP among a couple others (Queen’s, Concordia). I currently attend UBC but I’m from Calgary, so this is a tough decision for me. The MPPGA is roughly $50,000 plus accommodation for 2 years, while the MPP is roughly $20,000 ($7000 scholarship) and I can live at home with my family. My question is: what would you do, and why? Grateful for feedback!

Edit:  Received an offer of admission to Munk earlier today.

That's great - I'm still "under review".

Hello there! It's about that time that the acceptances should start rolling in. So far I've heard from Queen's MPA. Any word from Munk?
