Hey all! I got into GSPIA just a few days ago as well! I didn't receive any funding info which is odd, but wanted to know what the pros and cons of both schools were (GSPIA vs Munk)?

Congrats!

"Oh for sure. It's an order of magnitude more expensive than most Canadian programs (to the point that an extra ~$8k/year gets you into LSE), and the mandatory internship (which tacks on $5k-$7k) doesn't make sense for me, considering I already work in government. Carleton's tuition and funding package make it a much more attractive prospect, and remaining in Ottawa means I'd be able to drop down to part-time and keep my job while going to school."
 

This is what basically did it for me.  Everyone I've spoken with said NPSIA really was the way to go for the Intelligence/ Security Defense Policy steam that I want and they are much more generous with the funding than Munk.  (plus I really didn't want to move back to Toronto)... 

 Also " recommended for assessment" .  Even tho I have "life experience....which just means I'm old...  lol"  I'm still quite nervous and this waiting is killing me.   I think my SOI was not as strong as it should have been and should have rewritten it but it is what it is now. 

 

Anyway good luck to everyone.
