    I just got my rejection this morning ☹️

    It just says “not competitive to the other applicants” so I’ve emailed to ask for more feedback. I have a pretty solid GPA, good work experience, had stellar letters of recommendation. So either there’s something missing in my work experience or I just didn’t sell myself hard enough in my letter. Which, boo. 
     

    Now to decide if I will wait and try again next year or shift to another online MPA like UofSask or Dalhousie. 

    I know how you feel. I was rejected from Carleton last week officially after being on the “waitlist”. Unfortunately, this year was a weird year to apply for grad school :(. There was at least a 30% increase in applications due to the pandemic! I’ve heard that a lot of people who would have normally gotten in under normal circumstances would be disappointed this year. I would say try again or gain that work experience need to get you to the next level! Don’t get discourage, definitely try again :)

  2. Question. I’m hoping on getting into Carleton. Would be my top choice. I’m not sure if I’d be required to take microeconomics, and I think I’ll be credited for Macro though. However, my issue is that I’d have to take these course(s) during the summer and my summer enrolment date at my home institution is this coming week. Is it worth emailing them to see what update Carleton can provide to me? Or should I just wait it out. I don’t want to be harassing admissions hahah

    Same here - I moved to recommended for assessment very quickly with MPPA at Carleton, applied maybe 5 days before deadline. Been stuck for maybe 4 weeks? Also at application submitted for Queen's MPA

    I applied to Carlton early Jan and moved quickly as well to “recommended for assessment”. I’m stressed because I heard there were more applications this year than normally in general for grad school. I applied to a Masters in Political Management too at Carleton and they said that they received more than usual this year, so it may take some time but that they are “looking at them”.  

  4. Should I be nervous? Mine still says “recommended for assessment” at Carleton. I keep heavily checking! Congrats to everyone that’s heard answers so far. Also, my application for Queen’s still says “application submitted” is that weird? Thanks for any tidbits ☺️
