!I'm not entirely sure if they send out rejection letters but in your situation, I would recommend contacting NPSIA graduate admissions and see if they have any answers. I think you have a valid reason to have an answer sooner than later. Best of luck!!

There's still hope!! I think it doesn't matter is one of them isn't academic as long as they provide a good indicator of how you are as a learner and researcher. However, it may also depend on the workplace and if it is relevant to graduate studies.

I'm taking both economics classes right now. If you are to be accepted, you are placed on a conditional offer until completing both classes with a B- (70%). It says on Carleton Central we have to complete it by Oct 8. 2022.

I know most people depend their decision on funding but from the likes of what you said so far, if NPSIA has been your goal since last year, maybe this time around it's meant to be? Especially if you didn't find GSPIA that rewarding during your open studies. Although NPSIA does feed lots of GAC jobs, it's not the end all be all. If you do the coop program you might even land a private sector position. I truly believe if you make the right connections, you'll land where you wanna be regardless of which school you end up! We are all in Ottawa anyways. Best of luck on your decision

FYI for those accepted so far - There's a FB group called "NPSIA Class of 2024"

Thanks so much! Submitted my application end of Jan, kinda late than most. Preliminary review for a week, moved to review by department for 2ish weeks, recommended for assessment a bit over a week, back to review by department for a few days, and then review by faculty & post-doc. Acceptance 24 hours later. Any more questions just let me know!

Little update from me hehe! Received official acceptance with funding. Best of luck to all

Me too ? Trying to stay hopeful...

I've heard great things!! If your goal in the long run is a GoC career, any school located in Ottawa is amazing for that.

Don't feel discourage!! My academics aren't the greatest, average at most. I think those who have impressive experiences may be a small % which is why they send those acceptances quickly.

Still on recommended for assessment for over a week now!

Thank you for this insight!! Follow-up question: Did you find it difficult to socialize within your specialization? Or is it small enough to know most people?

Aw that's okay, I attended the info session and they mentioned that they look heavily into merit and what you have accomplished. I think as long as you shine in those areas you'll be good!! Sending you good vibes and much love!!

Oh no!! I'm sure they are still strong!! How come if you don't mind me asking? I used two of my professors I had a close relationship with. One who I worked on organizing a conference and the second I've taken all their classes. I also added a third one for luck lol.

I've applied to NPSIA as well. Good luck to all the applicants!! :)
