notalurkeranymore Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 seeing as other schools are quicker to send out decisions (some people in this thread indicated they were already accepted to GSPIA for example), they likely wanted to scare students into confirming offers they already have rather than wait for NPSIA to reduce the competition. So they're assuming everyone has the same first choice and career aspirations? nice try lol Hedonism, Svalbardz, lh443424 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinoiseries Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 4 hours ago, Hedonism said: This is misinformation and Gradcafe should really crack down on people posting false information to steer people away from waiting for a response from their school of choice, or to give them anxiety. I had reached out to NPSIA this morning and they have responded to me with the following information: "Hello Hedonism, I took a look online, and I would say that it was false information posted. We also did not have any deferrals from last year (NPSIA does not offer deferrals), and anyone who had declined their offer in 2020 due to covid was asked to reapply this year. Perhaps this person accidently wrote NPSIA instead of another school. I’m glad I could put your anxiety at ease!" So for those who are waiting for a response and see their application stuck at "Prelimary Review Required", please don't worry. Take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt. Very bizarre your first ever post on Gradcafe was informing potential attendees of a "rejection letter" you had received. Shame on you. Thank you so much for taking the initiative to verify this with NPSIA. My heart really sank last night reading the false information, as I have not received an offer yet. Better with today's news. Also good on NPSIA for sending out the email to everyone to mitigate our burst of anxiety. More generally, my application recently changed from "Preliminary review required" to "Recommended for Assessment" in the Graduate Admissions Application Summary. I applied in mid-January. bonghoots420, notalurkeranymore, canadiangradapplicant2021 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telfer Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 What an absolute jerk... There is probably no way of knowing who did that but it would be some sweet karmic justice if the Admissions Committee were to somehow find out who posted that. Ah well, good luck for everyone still waiting and congrats to those accepted! notalurkeranymore, Svalbardz and Hedonism 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IactuallywannaTA Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hey guys! Is anyone still stuck on "preliminary review required"? I'm getting kind of nervous... I've heard back from 3 schools already, including Ottawa. I hope nothing happened to my application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gradgradinternational Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 My status just changed yesterday from 'preliminary review required' to 'review in progress by department'. I finished my application in December, and I see that others that applied in January went through this step before I did. So I don't think there is any specific order and clearly they are currently reviewing everybody's application. So I think everybody needs to relax a bit!

notalurkeranymore Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I've gone from preliminary to under review by department since last week. I just keep reminding myself that one way or another, the waiting game will end soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lh443424 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 For those of you concerned about the stages, this is a reply I got when e-mailing admissions: "Good afternoon, Thanks for reaching out. I can confirm that at this time, your file is currently under preliminary review. When a file is being reviewed, the status may not always change to say “Review In Progress”, and some applicants may find that their application moves from “Preliminary Review Required” straight to to “Recommended for Assessment”. Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns." CoffeeTimez, Babban_D and TedCruzAteMyKids 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gradapplicant2468 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Congratulations to everyone that has been accepted and good luck to everyone waiting on results! I was just wondering if anyone received Carleton OGS and if so, have you already been admitted either into NPSIA or another program at Carleton?

Their email sent until the end of March In their FAQ for admissions, it says: “The admissions committee will review files after the January 31 deadline. Assessment time depends on the number of applications received, but we aim to have admission decisions out to first round applicants by early March. Second round offers are distributed on a rolling basis until August 31.“ I guess the latest we hear back is end of March?
