I'm so sorry to hear this, this is their loss! : (

I'm so sorry you're going through this : ( If I may ask, for NPSIA were you planning on doing course-based or thesis-based?

Figured this would be useful information, I saw someone in a similar situation to mine on Reddit (low NPSIA funding), and someone commented that you can try asking NPSIA to match the funding if you get a more competitive funding offer from another program!

I have also declined my offer from Carleton and will be attending GSPIA! Good luck to everyone! : )

Thank you! Same here. NPSIA is giving me very little funding compared to GSPIA, and I would also have to complete summer school beforehand for NPSIA, but not GSPIA. I'm sort of torn atp : /

Hey! Just an update, I got a conditional acceptance (on re-doing econ) to NPSIA earlier today! I am leaning towards GSPIA because I get a much more generous funding package with them, but I'm having some trouble deciding tbh.

Hi guys! Just an update, my application has moved to "Review in progress by Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral affairs" a few hours ago. I'm hoping I'll finally hear back soon!

Hey, I'm domestic but, I applied at the end of January. I still haven't heard back. I thought the deadline was Jan 31st, unless you were affected by the federal public service layoffs?

I was thinking to apply, but didn't end up applying. I could be wrong, so please take it with a grain of salt. The Balsillie school has a couple of programs, some of which are at Waterloo (Master of Global Governance, Master of Development practice) as well as Wilfred Laurier. At least for the Master of Global Governance, I've heard that they're a bit more research-focused

Oh that makes a lot of sense, thank you!

Congrats!! Sorry, can I ask what do you mean by better implemented within the government?

I applied for GPSIA, and got some funding. I'm waiting for NPSIA, but I think the primary deciding factor for me would be how much funding I get

It's the same for me too, on Carleton 360 it says preliminary review required, but then on Carleton central it says "Review in progress by department" as well...I am confused🙃

I'm in a similar position. I accepted my offer for GSPIA, but I am still waiting to hear back from NPSIA. I hope we hear back soon!

Oh lord that must be stressful, I hope they get back soon, best of luck to you too!
