Hey, everyone! International student here, got accepted to Munk too but there's no notice about any financial aid or scholarships...The price tag of 43k sounds ridiculous.
I was also accepted to a school in the US with full funding and stipend, which is probably where I will go, but Munk definitely was a dream. 
Lots of luck to everyone who is still waiting for results or will go to any other school! This was a tough year and we definitely should be proud of ourselves, no matter what. 

Accepted with full living assistance and half tuition reduction! Stoked to move to Geneva!

My condolences. That news sucks to hear. I hope there is another opportunity that works out for you! 
I have not heard back from Munk, but based on your post news may come soon. 
My NPSIA application moved from "Recommended for Assessment" to "Review in progress by Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs" recently. This was after a lot of stagnation, so good to see movement. 
I was accepted into the UCalgary CMSS program (Strategic Studies) in early March. 

I have applied to both Munk's MGA and the UBC's MPPGA program as an international student ATM. Have not received anything at the moment. Keeping my fingers crossed. Has anyone received anything yet from either of the two, besides the seminar calls and the sort?

Oooookay, this upcoming week should be THE ONE!  They can't do this us any longer, hahaha

Has anybody applied for UBC's MPPGA or know anything about the program that isn't advertised? Just got an acceptance, but couldn't find any recent info/thoughts on the program...plus their tuition is foul lol.  
 
I'm also still waiting on Munk and NPSIA (Preliminary review required)

The way I was wrong ? ?.... hope the weekend isn't too agonizing!! 

Hi again admited applicants. what can I say, you made it, you deserved it!  Wish all of you guys to make best of this chance, and realize the knowledge in the area you wish ! I an happy for you guys!

Yeah, I just sent a message on RPCV Jobs asking to speak with some students about their experience at Keough and already got quite a few responses. So if you are looking for any guidance there are plenty of connections! Congrats again!

Thanks! You too. Yeah! I think the program attracts lots of RPCVs because the Peace Corps prepares people very well to be change makers-which is a big thing for this program. The money is definitely a huge factor; however, I have been amazed with the amount of communication with staff members and professors I have received already. It seems like an amazing community and very supportive with lots of awesome opportunities-particularly the i-lab. it is also a huge plus that South Bend has a low cost of living and a fully funded, summer international placement. I haven't made a final decision, but it is at the top of my list. Maybe we will see each other there! 
I think it is important to remember grad school, like many things is what you make of it. Also, it is an investment in you. It really depends on how much you capitalize on the opportunities offered to you. For grad school, the strength of the program is what's important and Notre Dame has an incredible reputation. 

Hey guys. I just received a rejection letter named "Invitation to Reapply" :') . I think I received it this time because I emailed them and explained that I need to inform other universities about my status till  mid March. Usually they send rejections by the end of March. I was applying for peace studies concentration.  This is what my email says : "Although we are unable to guarantee admission at any point in the future, we feel that your application will strengthen once you have gained a few more years of experience. Competitive applicants to our program typically have two years or more of professional experience in a global setting.".
Wish you all who are still waiting the best of luck ❤️

I haven't heard from Munk or McGill either!

Munk's been pretty late with admissions this year. The wait is killing ?

Heyy, let's hope so! It takes TOO long already! Haven't received anything yet from either Munk, UOttawa, or Mcgill. 

Good morning y'all, I'm having a good feeling about Munk today!! ☺️?

I have also added a short summary in the GradCafe Results Database – please add your data to the database as well!
As of now, I am not sure if I am going to accept their offer. I would need a better financial aid package to pursue the program based on my current financial situation. Still thinking about the best path forward.

I did. I am an RPCV, so I sent in my proficiency score in the language I learned through Peace Corps. Good Luck everyone!! ❤️  Hopefully by tomorrow we all have some more answers. 

TBH I only applied for this, and currently finishing my application for a school in Europe, so stakes are high, haha. 

Good luck to you too. Waiting for this specific uni literally destroyed my nerves
