Does the NPSIA admittance process seem inconsistent with previous years to anyone else? It just seems sort of odd that they're doing this in a staggered fashion, rather than previous years where it seems like they sent a significant amount out in bulk over 1-2 days.
Regardless, it is reassuring to see people in this forum get their acceptance emails!

Got accepted to NPSIA yesterday! If it’s helpful for anyone, my application changed to « recommended for assessment » last week, it’s still sitting at recommended for assessment but i received my offer, so I wouldn’t be too obsessive over what your application status says in Carleton central.
Congrats! Did you get an unofficial acceptance email, or did this show up on Carleton 360?

That's such good news! Does your Carleton Central/360 still say "preliminary review required"? Also, according to this page: https://graduate.carleton.ca/application-status/, you're on the 3rd-ish stage of review? But it seems like things will move pretty quick from thereon out.
My Carleton 360 account does, but not Carleton Central - which says "recommended for assessment"
Also, for those of you anxious about being on "Preliminary Review Required" I received this:
"At this time, we are aiming to complete the first-round of admission offers by the end of March (or possibly into April), as we received a very high volume of application files this year."
So - mixed feelings about that, as its bound to be more competitive, but also reassuring since it appears that they're about a month behind.

So I sent Lauren an email and got this as part of the response:
"I can confirm that your application has been recommended for assessment and is under review by the admissions committee"
Does anyone have an idea if the admissions committee is the final point of review? It sounds like it makes sense, but that's just an assumption.
-
I believe they conduct international student admissions last, if that is the case for many of you stuck in preliminary review right now - hoping we'll see some admissions (or at least status changes) this week lol

-
Wonder what has the admissions process held up here - it seems like we're 1-2 weeks behind the threads from previous years ?
-
Officially at "Recommended for Assessment" for NPSIA as of today - good luck to everyone in the coming week(s)!

For those of you concerned about the stages, this is a reply I got when e-mailing admissions:
"Good afternoon,
Thanks for reaching out. I can confirm that at this time, your file is currently under preliminary review. When a file is being reviewed, the status may not always change to say “Review In Progress”, and some applicants may find that their application moves from “Preliminary Review Required” straight to to “Recommended for Assessment”.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns."
-
Has there been any movement out of "Preliminary Review Required" for those of you in this thread? Just curious about how far along we may be in the review process.

Hey guys! Is anyone still stuck on "preliminary review required"? I'm getting kind of nervous... I've heard back from 3 schools already, including Ottawa. I hope nothing happened to my application
I am! I wouldn't worry too much about that yet, it seems like many people still are.

Hi everyone! I just got an offer this morning! Got into my first choice specialization, with a pretty generous funding package, so I think this is where I’m headed in the fall! I really hope everyone gets (good) news soon
Congrats! You don't happen to attend Carleton currently (or previously), do you?
-
My mistake! Yeah I don't think there's an order there, but I do think they get to applications quicker if you already attend/have graduated from Carleton previously.
-
I believe they do - 77%/B+ average is generally what I've seen as a cutoff for acceptance, though I do not know how strict they are with that.
-
Has anyone else's application changed status? I'm still at "Preliminary Review Required" even though many were further ahead in previous years.

Hey! I just have some questions/concerns that I can (hopefully) reassure myself over regarding admission/funding to NPSIA.
Under the Carleton grading system, I would be at 10/12 (or A-) for my GPA at the point of applying, I have practicum experience with Elections Canada, and currently work two jobs (both at the university I attend) while completing my Bachelor's (Hons.) in Political Science. My letters of reference are from my Honours supervisor and an associate professor that I have ECs with.
Essentially, I am wondering how likely it is that I am admitted into the program, and if so, how much funding am I likely to receive? I understand that this is done on a case-by-case basis, but if anyone has experience with the admission/funding process themselves - as in current/former students - or have insight into this through other means, any info on this front would be greatly appreciated!

Hopefully we all do, sooner rather than later! That's so strange that your application wasn't one of the first to be admitted though - I would assume the opposite, but at least its kind of a "been there before" situation for you ?
