Got accepted into Waterloo, Carleton, and SFU! Still waiting on Queen's, but I have accepted Carleton's offer. Congratulations to everyone and best of luck if you're waiting to hear back! I would love to connect with the upcoming MPPA Carleton cohort and/or help with questions anyone might have.

Happy to chat if you have any questions about the program, coop, etc. I’ve got an offer, but I have to complete 3 prerequisites (ECON 1001 and 1002 and PSCI 2003). Would you mind helping me out with a few questions? 1. They recommend I complete the prerequisites before Fall 2023, so I’ll have to do them in Summer term. I have 2 months before summer courses start. Would it be possible for me to postpone and do the prerequisites in Fall instead of Summer and then start the program in Winter 2024? 2. I know I can do the prerequisites on any university, but I’d like to do them at Carleton. 2 of those prerequisites are available in Summer, but one (PSCI 2003) is not. Any suggestions If I want to complete all 3 in Summer? 3. Can I complete 2 of them in summer and then the other, not available during summer, in fall or winter term? 4. If you’ve taken any of these courses, did you find it difficult? I need a B+. I’ve seen they’re just one month courses, but I’d still like to know how difficult they are. TIA!

Take as many pre-reqs as you can this summer. The MPPA program is 14 courses (or the equivalent if you choose to do a major research essay or thesis). Fitting in extra courses is difficult. 2. Take the ones you can at Carleton and the poli sci one elsewhere (check Athabasca, many students take their pre-reqs through them) 3. Yes. See answers 1 and 2 4. No. They're first/second year undergrad courses, they shouldn't be difficult for anyone beyond first/second year undergrad. jeffgordon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo_30 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 For those like me still waiting on TMU, I reached out to the Program Administrator and I was told that the process has begun and will continue until the program has filled the available spots. So, not much new information. In my view, based on people's experiences from previous years and a few posts in this forum, it looks like the first round is likely over and once people decline, new offers will be made available. Good luck to all those still waiting. nevermindthespock and boyyoudontknow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo_30 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 @nevermindthespock Yes. I accepted the MMPAL offer. I could not get any further detail on where I am in the process from TMU so I did not have a choice. It would be helpful if TMU could confirm if first round offers have been sent and/or if I am on a waitlist. But, I guess that they are not allowed to provide that type of information.

LawAndMordor Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Hello! I am nearing the end of my first year as a Carleton MPPA student. As many of you are considering/accepting MPPA offers, I am also happy to provide insight on what you can expect in your first year, how classes have been, what it is like coming in needing pre reqs (I had to do the two econs), co-op process, or just about anything! Many others have given excellent advice, but if you want a recent perspective from a current first year, I am happy to help out!

lalax Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Congrats to everyone on their offers! I got offers from CU, Queens and UofT. I received decent funding from CU (no TAship but I can apply later), no funding from UofT (not surprising) and Queens doesn't disclose funding info until June which is weird. Have to make a decision in the next 2 weeks or so 😭 Leo_30, boyyoudontknow, prospectivegradstudent25 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really looking forward to Queens to see what they offered but they're not releasing it until June?? how are we supposed to accept the offer without knowing if/what they offer 😪 I really wanna go to queens, but I cant risk my Carleton funding because maybe queens might give me something lalax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
