I'm in the same boat as you! I'm interested in the same career goals (working for the UN and/or working in migration / refugee/ asylum policy). I was recently accepted to Sciences Po for Human Rights and Humanitarian Action as well, and a similar program at Columbia. I'm also waiting to hear from Oxford for the Refugee and Forced Migration Studies. From my research, I've found that a lot of organizations like the UNHCR , the UNDP, Save the Children, Amnesty Intl, etc. hire from LSE, Sciences Po, Oxford, Columbia, and Georgetown (In no particular order though it seems like a huge amount are from LSE and Columbia). I've been advised that going to school in Europe is a great move because its cheaper, the education is still high quality, and the international experience and connections come in handy when trying to get a job for an international organization. I'm going with Sciences Po for this reason, and because they gave me an Emile Boutmy scholarship whereas Columbia gave me nothing (I will never be able to pay back those loans so i'm not even considering it). I've heard from my former professors that the Oxford program is amazing though and could lead to great connections and can set you up for competitive PhD programs if that is what you're interested in, so my fingers are crossed. Good luck deciding! Perhaps we will meet at Sciences Po or Oxford!

 

Hi! I am also applying to Sciences Po for the Humanitarian Rights and Humanitarian Action Program and was wondering if you could tell me when you got notified of your acceptance, because I recently emailed them and they said that results won't be out before end of march... Thanks

Could just be a mistake from UoT but these are usually mails that are triggered by the system. I got mine soon as I applied asking me to pick a residence option or something. Fingers crossed that your mails comes through! 

 

Just wondering, do they send out acceptances to international students after they're done with domestic candidates? So maybe, that could be why ours takes a little more time. 

Thank you for your answer  I am trying to reach them by mail and phone but no one is answering me... Busy time I guess... I just hope my application has still be taken into account even though I received a JoinId (it does show 'under review' on SGS though so fingers crossed).

 

I don't think they distinguish between domestic and international students, they are supposed to treat everyone equally, but then 'supposed'...

Hey! I am an international student and I applied to Munk MGA but, going through the posts I realised that I never received my JoinId... Do you think it's a mistake from UofT or does it mean that there might be something wrong with my application? I'm freaking out... I've sent them an email but I'm still waiting for a reply.

Thanks :)
