idkyet Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Just got accepted into MPP at UofT! Totally wasn't expecting them to send out e-mails on a Saturday so was pleasantly surprised. For those curious (I know I found it super helpful reading previous posts), I had a CGPA of 3.7 and final year GPA of 3.7. I did have a fair bit of internship experience having worked for the provincial government as well as the federal government. Financial award is 3k which honestly isn't that much considering the overall cost of the program. It's still quite a considerable opportunity cost vs working and getting more experience in gov, so we'll see. DCrSS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: did your SGS and/or Acorn status change too? Edited March 11, 2018 by mppmgaapplicant2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idkyet Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Thanks. Got it around 5pm. The application page changed to "decision made". Acorn I don't think there were any changes made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly the speed at which the course moves which makes it really challenging for people who don't have econ experience. Okay, that's good to know. Thanks! What did you do for funding throughout the program? Apparently UTAPS is only available for the 2nd year of the MPP program, and I'm not eligible for OSAP since I'm not from Ontario. Are there any other possible funding sources for the MPP? For those who just got accepted to UofT MPP, did you guys get offered any funding? I was told that my funding would be assessed at a later time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen in past threads, 3k seems to be the standard amount of funding for students. mppmgaapplicant2018 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOmppaapplicant Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hi everyone, Has anyone heard anything from Carleton's SPPA? I know their admin staff is on strike and the program admin hasn't responded to my email inquiring for any updates. My application is still on "recommended for assessment" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnTitor Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Anyone else still waiting on Waterloo? I was told that all the offers would be out March 11 latest, but I still have not heard anything yet. I have a funded MA Poli Sci offer from another good school i'm holding onto, but I thought I had a really good shot at getting into the MPS program.
