I was wondering if you guys think they're still handing out admissions or should I assume I didn't get in? My application still says recommended for assessment. I think they're still going to be handing out admissions though i've noticed that the amount of funding they give is progressively lower. So if you receive an acceptance, I wouldn't expect the funding to be much if at all. Goodluck!
Hamdiya Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Just wanted to say that I accepted my offer to UOttawa MPA with a 7.5k scholarship. If anyone else is going let me know 🙂 rayaa 1

I haven't heard back from Carleton yet, but Ottawa was my first choice and I was just waiting to see if Carelton would offer a better funding package. Didn't seem likely now so I accepted UOttawa
boyyoudontknow Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Just found this thread and wanted to share that I received an offer to Carleton’s MPM Program last week. rayaa 1

I have to respond to other program offers in the next two weeks and I'm getting a little nervous... Internatinoal student here too. This should be the case. I'm in contact with a couple other international applicants and we are all on the same boat. Offers for international applicants are usually sent out at the end of March but this year the delay *might* be longer due to the new international student policy. Grad students are not a part of the new policy but it requires the provincial governments to cooperate and they are very reluctant to do so.
Tz17 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Just got accepted into Queens MPA. Do they provide funding? Not sure if I got awarded anything or not.

Tz17 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Just now, th0tdaughter said: I got accepted as well! The letter says funding information will be shared in June. Yeah I realized that when I started to read it closely. Not sure how i feel about the possibility of getting funding vs guranteed funding like other schools lol

My impression from alumni is that they are very very generous with their funding, though I'm not sure how much that will change this year given the recent instability of the program and Queens in general..

Serena To Posted March 24 Posted March 24 (edited) Anyone here is going to University of Calgary MPP ‘24 program? I received LoA from UofC (MPP) and Western (MPA) earlier this month, and still cannot decide between these two program. I am more into UofC, but as an international student, I heard that London is a more social and lively city for newcomers. Edited March 24 by Serena To
BKermit Posted March 28 Posted March 28 I've gotten offers (International Student) from Munk MGA, Carleton MA and MPPA. Munk is providing funding but Carleton is giving me literally nothing (even after leveraging Munk's funding). The graduate administrator at NPSIA lied to me saying that I would get a "favourable offer with a funding package very soon" and then offers me nothing... It this just a symptom of being an international applicant? They're also somehow never in the office. I've been at wits end for the last two weeks now because of all of this nonsense. My first choice is still Carleton just because its still cheaper to go there even considering the funding from Munk, but I feel like absolute shit for having to pay out of pocket and move to an entirely new city. rayaa 1

Hey I'm wondering when did you email NPSIA? I'm getting the same vibe from them. I did a quick look up and from past years it seems like international students get offers at the beginning of the second round (early April I assume). My MPPA application is still at "preliminary review required" stage, so this is lowkey worrying.

I spoke to the person handling admissions and they said that they have $0 budgeted towards entrance scholarships towards international students, so they couldn't do anything about it... As for your application, I would probably call and email their office about it. I think the only reason why they got to my application was because I was being so persistent about trying to call them.

The fact that MPPA doesn't give scholarships to international students is f'ed up. I've heard NPSIA's scholarship is more generous so hopefully they have some for international students. I'll email them on Tuesday after the Easter break. Thanks for the info. rayaa 1
Cstudent1 Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Anyone know the status of Queen's MPA program? I'm with the understanding that they are not suspending the program but is that 100% confirmed?
