Expand agreed, i think some people place too much emphasis on brand name without considering the other factors. For me personally, i think i would turn down Munk if my funding is decent from NPSIA since i don't have any interest in working in the private sector. Hawkmoon and theGoodGhosts 2

But some people have also been accepted without being 'invited' on Acorn prior to receiving an official letter. It seems kind of confusing. I talked to my friend who was wait listed for another UofT program and their Acorn was not updated. Then I asked another friend who was accepted into Munk for European and Russian studies and their Acorn is updated. So all in all, I am happy to see 'invited' but I'm waiting for an actual legitimate letter for real confirmation. I guess letters will most likely be sent out next week, if things are the same as last year theGoodGhosts 1

Boudibou123 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Got admitted to Munk as well! I received no-funding on my end, still waiting to receive the official letter with funding from NPSIA to decide, as well as another program! funny story, I did not even complete the video portion of the application after submitting all the documents , because I figured at that time that I would definitely not go to Munk because of the tuitions fees, but got the admission offer anyway. I guess that part of the application was not very important! Lol decisions decisions decisions! Congrats to everyone who also got in! Edited March 5, 2020 by Boudibou123 KW77 1

amanh Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Got my offer of admission for MGA at Munk too. No funding though. As an international student, quite a hard choice as the fees is insanely high ~ CAD 41k per year. Meanwhile, I have an offer for the MIA program at Hertie School of Governance, Berlin with 50% financial aid (~ CAD 24k). Congratulations to everyone who got in!
