I got admitted, but I still have to complete ECON 1001 and 1002. cgpa 3.6 L2 3.83 Was a legislative assistant for an MP for a year. Also I had a few policy internships with some advocacy groups.

I was interested because I've been accepted to the program but was offered less money than when I was accepted in 2017. When I first applied in 2017 I hadn't worked in the public service but since then I've done about 3.5 years in various environmental policy positions. Interestingly, back then there was no conditions on my offer. This time around they felt I hadn't met the political science prerequisite and would meed to complete it.

newbie2020 Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Has anyone heard anything from University of Ottawa’s MPA? When do their responses role out since the deadline was January 15?

gen4 Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 I got accepted to Waterloo and Carleton last week. Does anyone know the breakdown at Carleton as far as how many courses you take a semester / when students typically take their co-ops?

ZabiQs Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Folks, do people still make Facebook Class of ____ groups? I haven't been on Facebook since I graduated in 2017 but I'd like to connect with others that are planning to attend Queen's MPA. Or where else do grad students congregate online lol?
Svenpai Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Hey y'all! Im in the MPPA program at Carleton and can answer any questions if you have any about the program from a student's perspective! Feel free to DM on here or over discord Sven#6057. Congrats to those who have received offers and good luck to those still waiting. I know how anxiety inducing it is and just know that an acceptance/rejection does not define your intelligence or worth ❤️ TSK and peppermills 2
single_dollar Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Received my acceptance to USask today for the MPA (professional online). Very happy and now waiting less than patiently for UVic to send out their decisions (usually happens mid-April).

When does the co-op term happen and how long is it?

That's a good question! Honestly, the program is fairly well structured I'd say. You have nice room for elective classes and the core classes are relevant to what you would be doing in a policy role. With respects to co-op, you will usually work your first co-op job in the summer following your first academic year and usually lasts 4 months but you can have options to extend it to 8 months.

TedCruzAteMyKids Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 10 minutes ago, Rj27 said: Do you mind sharing your stats? Sure np. Senior year undergrad, L2 GPA is 80, CGPA is pretty low - maybe 3.2? Strong focus on ECs. Talked about how I want to work in energy policy and have a background in energy private equity and risk consulting through summer experiences and how it makes me a unique candidate to tackle public sector challenges. One good thing, GPA is not end all be all. Hope that helps and best of luck!
