Hello guys,
It is a glorious coincidence that I got the rejection letter from Munk and acceptance letter from UBC on the same day. Anyone here who has applied for MPPGA? I am not sure about the funding opportunities there (I am a domestic student) and would like to get some more information.

Hello guys,
With a heavy heart, I have to tell you that my application to Munk has been rejected. I am not sure why. I believe I did put my best foot forward. I have a few queries for anyone who can assist me:
a) It is possible that my application was rejected due to my low UG score (around 66%). However, I did have a PG already (in which I scored 8.34). Do they consider only the UG scores while filtering the application out?
b) In case I apply next year, will the application face a similar fate, considering that the UG score was low?
c) Is there a bridge course that I can do to boost my score before I apply for MGA?
I have applied for a few other programs in other universities. Keeping my fingers crossed. Is it true that the admissions go on till August?

Congrats to all those who got the call. Does this get communicated through first through the email?

Not sure. Based on previous years, it looks like there's usually an initial round of offers right around the end of February/beginning of March, and a later slow trickle of offers that can last into May/June, and is based on the number of spaces still available and the number of admission offers that get declined by applicants.
Alright. Will keep that in mind. Keeping my fingers crossed. What is the total intake usually at NPSIA?

There are two reviews that get done. The first one (the stage you're at) is the review by the department itself. If you make it past that preliminary review, they kick your application up to the faculty of grad affairs, who do a more thorough review. When your application reaches that stage, you'll get the "recommended for assessment" status that a number of us have been kvetching about. Some applicants have been stuck there for about a month, which makes sense, as it's a bottleneck in the process (since presumably all of the grad applications to Carleton have to go through the grad faculty).
Basically, this is the first point at which anyone at Carleton is getting a chance to look at your application.Thank you for the information. So, I believe the final decision gets made by the end of March?

I checked my Carleton status yesterday and it now shows 'Review in progress by department'. I believe this is the second stage, as per the university's website. Could I take it as evidence that my application is still being considered for selection? Also, how much time does it take for a final decision to be made?
-
My Carleton application still says 'preliminary assessment required'. Should I take it as a sign that they are not considering it for selection?

I believe the PAWS account is not getting updated in real-time for graduate applications.

hello,
i have applied for masters in public policy at university of Saskatchewan. yesterday i have received rejection email from them. Other members may please share whether other universities like max bell, calgary, ottawa etc..have started giving their decisions.
Thanks
Hello,
I just noticed that I too have received a rejection email a whole ago from Saskatchewan for the MPP program. They instead have asked me if I am interested in the MPA program. Did you also get the same mail? Also, anyone here who can tell me what the difference is between the two courses?

Hi friends,
I was the first to comment on this thread. I have applied to all the programs; received rejection from Queen's yesterday. I have a Canadian PR, so I guess I am considered as a domestic student. Considering that I am yet to hear from any of the programs, I hope I still have a chance in some of them?

Hello friends,
Need some help. I am a Canadian PR from India. I have a BBA and an MBA, with a journalism experience of nearly eight years now. My UG score was low (66%) but my MBA score was competitive, 8.34, and I got a PG Diploma as well, in which I scored A-. I have applied to the Munk School, the UBC, Ottawa and Carleton this year. Could you please help me by telling me if I have a chance of getting selected into any of them? Also, could you please tell me the selection criteria - are these universities very particular about the students having high UG scores or will they also consider my PG scores. Please help me - I am a little anxious as I have invested a lot in the application process and would be extremely disappointed if I don't get into any of them. I would be helped if I can get a quick response

Hello friends,
I am planning to apply for the MGA and linked programs this year at UofT, Carleton, Ottawa and UoBC. I have a few queries (former students, please do help):
a) I have an MBA, a PG Diploma in Journalism and media experience, dealing with international affairs, of more than seven years. All my education was in India. My UG, which was in Business Administration, was a while back and my net score in that was about 66. However, in PG, I had a CGPA of 8.34 and in diploma my grade was A-. Hope that does not disqualify me from any of the programs?
b) Do universities keep a specific age group in mind while selecting applicants? And do organisations coming for placement look for Canadian experience before selecting students?
c) The MGA program, as pointed out by many, is expensive and funding opportunities are few. The other programs are relatively affordable. Could anyone please tell me how different the programs are qualitatively?
d) Do GRE, IELTS scores make a difference when it comes to the application process?
e) What other prime components do universities look for while making the selection (I know good CGPA scores and a strong Statement of Intent is necessary but I would also like to know about other parameters of evaluation)?
Please chip in friends. I need all the help you can offer me :).

Oh! I have applied as a domestic student and I have not been so far offered any scholarship; how did you get to know about the award? Was it mentioned in the mail?
Regarding the quality of the program, it is among the best in the country, perhaps next only to the Munk School. Perhaps someone who has attended the program may be in a better position to tell.
I also got an offer from University of Saskatchewan for MPA. Anyone has any idea on that program?
