It was mentioned on the facebook group that decisions will be released on, not before, 16th March. I'm wondering what time on 16th March at this point...
That's really good to know because I'm not on the facebook group ?thanks!!

Has anyone heard back for Mdev yet?
Nothing! I'm wondering if it is because March 15th is on a weekend, perhaps they will release results tomorrow? Either way i'll be checking my email every hour on the hour today....

Try asking for an extension. If they don't give you one, accept their offer on the last day. I am on the Munk waitlist as well, and had received an offer from GSPIA at the beginning of March. I asked for an extension a week before my offer's deadline, and my extended deadline was earlier this week. I accepted on the last day of the extended deadline because I didn't get off the Munk waitlist or hear back from the other schools I applied to.
Do you think it could be worth it to also email Munk? Like ask if there has been any movement on the waitlist? I feel as though the bulk of people accepted to MGA were accepted about a month ago now but I'm not sure if it would be appropriate to ask for the likelihood of acceptance at this point...

Just got into McMaster's Global Health MSc with scholarship. Still on the Munk waitlist for MGA so i'm a little confused as to whether to wait it out or not. I only have until April 25th to accept McMaster. Any advice from those in the same boat???

Hi all! I'm super excited to hear that second round admissions for munk will be coming out soon as I was put on the waitlist. I'm also pretty happy to hear that some are declining their munk offers to go somewhere else. More opportunity for me to get in to my first choice whilst others pick their first choices! Fingers are very crossed and best of luck to anyone else that is waiting on second round

Hey y'all, congrats to all the acceptances! I'm a current Munk student and have been lurking this forum for a while and decided to make an account In regard to some of the comments, I'm going to try to word this very carefully. In all honesty, there are times where I seriously wish I considered going to NPSIA, GSPIA or applying to Balsillie because the tuition fees at Munk are really outrageously high. I'm also an international student so maybe that's why. In terms of course content, there are a few pros and cons. At times it feels like I'm not learning enough or developing any hard skills that will benefit me in the long run. In addition, it also feels like more of a business-oriented program rather than an IR or policy program. There are a few other criticisms I would like to make, but I'm going to stop there for now. However, feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
Thanks for the insights! Are you in MPP or MGA? And which specialization are you taking?

I would start planning the gap year -- last year, some students got in off the waitlist after 2 weeks, and some got in around June, and others in August. My friend who went to Munk got into the MGA off the waitlist 2 weeks before school started. I would at least wait until the deadline to accept (April 16th) but I think it's important to plan just in case.
Also, Munk is pretty open about the number of students they admit vs. waitlist. Last year, they admitted 110 and waitlisted 80 people. I'm sure you can ask them what stats are this year.
Ahhhh, I have started thinking about the gap year but it's hard thinking about housing and whatnot if I get in as late as June or August!
I really really want to email them to ask how many are waitlisted but I have already emailed so much! I'm not sure if they actually care about people who email a lot but I am worried about emailing too much!

Does anybody have any info on the Munk MGA waiting list? Wondering how lucky I might be to get accepted or if I need to start planning my gap year!

Out of curiosity, has anybody here applied to York's MPIA?
I considered applying to it as my very last choice, but didn't feel like spending the extra money to write a French knowledge exam that wasn't in Ottawa.
Are you talking about Glendon College? I go to Glendon right now for my undergrad and the sense I get of the MPIA is that there is a strong focus on the exchange and basically a guaranteed scholarship. I did not apply though.

I just got waitlisted! I am so relieved! Congrats to all who got in on the first round.
A question about waitlisting... could it have something to do with me being in my final year of by B.A. right now? I only applied with my grades from 1, 2, 3 years. I am not sure how many people apply while they are still completing their undergrads.

I didn't get in. 3.8 from a Canadian university. Fluent in English/ French. I was expecting a very different outcome.
Congrats to all who did get in.
