  1. Hello, anyone who did or is in the combined MA/JD program with University of Ottawa and Carleton? Do you know if you're allowed to take a short leave of absence for work, other reasons during the combined program or is it very strict to continue on the timeline? Do you know how many years you have to finish the program by? Thank you
  2. Anyone ask any of their schools for an extension to accept/decline their offer? Do they generally allow extensions?
  3. Yes I applied late and I wasn't sure if I'd get any funding but I got my offer this week from NPSIA so they might still be sending out offers with funding this month!
  4. Did you ask any schools for an extension to reply to their offer? Or are you just planning to accept for now?
  5. Is anyone planning on deferring to next year or reapplying? If reapplying, is it a similar likelihood to get accepted next year if you accepted this year? I'm so grateful to have gotten accepted to all the programs I applied to so far but still waiting on my first choice. Has anyone asked for an extension as well to decide?
  6. Hello! Would love any advice as I'm another newbie here and would love to hear anything on my chances or what else I should look into ? Program Applying to: Not sure yet, looking for best schools for public policy/intnl affairs but most likely Canadian schools MPP or MA in public policy, NPSIA, MGA (Munk?), Max Bell Public Policy, LSE, Sciences Po, or John Hopkins SAIS Undergraduate Institution: Top 10 I believe in Canada Undergraduate GPA: 3.3 cumulative Undergraduate Major: Global studies GRE: Have not taken, I'm guessing this is mandatory for US school apps though? Years Out of Undergrad: 0 Years of Work Experience: 2 Describe Relevant Work Experience: - School Journal Editor for 2 years - part of executive team in a few clubs at school - worked with federal government departments as a student helping with administration and writing briefing papers, etc and health related work - worked to help create events and have experience with digital skills - volunteer with multiple NPOs, very active in volunteering and facilitating workshops, going to the House of Commons for a program, helping a professor as a volunteer for an event one time Other notable experience: - still volunteering with an NPO for domestic and international/sustainability work - volunteered as mentor for students and various events Would appreciate advice, thank you!
  7. Hi, I'm an undergrad wondering how funding works for these grad schools usually - is it random based on the strength of your personal statement? You can get some funding or none at all? May I also ask what is a good enough average to get into these schools especially programs like NPSIA? Is it normally based on a 4 point gpa scale? Are B gpa's ever accepted? Do schools really focus on last 2 years of school or 10 credits or cumulative more in your experience? Thank you!
