thunderchunky Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I know one person got an official offer last week. Anyone else? Any info to share or insight to give? I'm getting a little bit antsy since I have to make a decision on my other offer.
rmrda Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I haven't heard anything either. Stupid Ottawa is driving me nuts since that also happens to be the only law school I haven't heard from :-( I'll post here when I do hear something!
thunderchunky Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 Do you think if you don't get admitted to law school you will go to NPSIA anyway? (I'm pretty sure you will get in, though, given you got into the other law schools.)
rmrda Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Hey! Ya, I've officially told both Queen's joint JD-MPA program& Osgoode law that I will not be attending next year so as it stands now, NPSIA is my only offer, haha. I think if I don't get into the law program at Ottawa, NPSIA is definitely my top choice by itself. That being said, NPSIA has to wait on a funding decision until I find out whether I'm in the joint program. Tabbatha told me the sooner, the better. Which means that if Ottawa waits a long time and then rejects me, they could have screwed me out of any funding :-( If I get accepted to GSPIA and they offer funding, I would seriously consider it as well. All I know for right now is that I will be in Ottawa next year. That was a big decision as my boyfriend and I are both planning on moving from Vancouver so figuring out the city was a good first step ;-) Good luck! Please keep me posted!
rmrda Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Someone posted the following in the NPSIA page: Anyways, I emailed uOttawa about when they would be sending out notification of acceptance or denial into the Public & Intl Affairs MA program. I was told that it would be either by the end of this week or early next week. I'm not sure what to make of the person who posted on the results search page. Just thought people reading this might want an update!
Blake091 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 The formal package hasn't sent yet, I'll let y'all know how it turns out when they send it! I wonder if they'll beat the offer I currently have from Calgary haha
rmrda Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I just called GSPIA . She told me this was a great time to call as the committee had just finished most of their decisions and offers were being sent out as the grad studies office She confirmed that I've been recommended for admission by the admissions committee and that my file is just under final review by the graduate department. She said I should expect my infoweb to be updated shortly and that a letter should soon follow!
Rumcajs Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Just got an Acceptance via Infoweb! Congratulations. However since this same thing happened last time where others had a change via Carleton Central and Infoweb before I did (recommended for assement until rejection) I guess I was rejected again. Off to work I guess...
jkh26 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Congratulations. However since this same thing happened last time where others had a change via Carleton Central and Infoweb before I did (recommended for assement until rejection) I guess I was rejected again. Off to work I guess... I am still waiting on Carleton (my application is on "hold"), but my Infoweb hasn't changed at all either. Don't give up all hope yet. They may not be entirely finished yet. Good luck!
rmrda Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Congratulations. However since this same thing happened last time where others had a change via Carleton Central and Infoweb before I did (recommended for assement until rejection) I guess I was rejected again. Off to work I guess... I had to wait longer at Carleton too but then eventually I was accepted. Don't lose hope yet, they might just be slow to update! And I haven't yet seen an update on my infoweb, only what the lady told me on the phone. jkh26 1
Rumcajs Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks for the pep talk! I have had some really great luck lately but I not sure if I am GSPIA lucky Better practice my french fry making skills...brb... rmrda 1
thunderchunky Posted April 4, 2013 Author Posted April 4, 2013 If I have to wait another whole weekend I might go a bit bonkers.
Rumcajs Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 If I have to wait another whole weekend I might go a bit bonkers. Perhaps make a phone call! Although being rejected by phone would suck! But in your case you got into NPSIA so im sure you will enjoy your acceptance phonecall
thunderchunky Posted April 4, 2013 Author Posted April 4, 2013 I don't really want to pester them since I already sent an email this week.
jkh26 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I called uOttawa again, and had a nicer person answer the phone. She said that the decisions have been made, and are being sent on an ongoing basis. She said they could not look up specific applications, but that they will all be sent out by Monday. Nothing new but thought I would share anyways. I asked her why they were staggering their notification of acceptance, and she mentioned that whoever is in charge of notifying applicants does it for more than the one program, and I guess they don't go in order of program. Also, my InfoWeb finally has a "registration information" tab. Not sure if this is a good sign, but at least it's some sort of change.
Rumcajs Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Got my acceptance today via infoweb web! I had no idea idea what to do but go outside and run around in the rain shirtless! jkh26, TheLegendof and rmrda 3
rmrda Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Got my acceptance today via infoweb web! I had no idea idea what to do but go outside and run around in the rain shirtless! Yay! So happy for you! :-D
jkh26 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Got my acceptance today via infoweb web! I had no idea idea what to do but go outside and run around in the rain shirtless! Congrats! You must be thrilled!
Rumcajs Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Yayyy! No French fries for Rumcajs! Woohooo! Thanks guys/gals (I have no idea haha). Now my biggest thing is to go learn some French! I never looked at the fine print but apparently I have to take one course sometime! Bof... Edit: Unless it is only for the co-op option since its under just that bullet point? Edited April 5, 2013 by Rumcajs
thunderchunky Posted April 5, 2013 Author Posted April 5, 2013 Couldn't tell ya. My file is still pending.
thunderchunky Posted April 5, 2013 Author Posted April 5, 2013 Still no change and now my registration information tab has disappeared...
mapletaylor Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Hi everyone! First time poster here. I will also be attending GSPIA in the fall! I received my acceptance earlier in the week. The day before I noticed a registration information tab appeared and then disappeared a few hours later. The following day I received an email confirming my admission and my infoweb account was also updated. I just wanted to post to let everyone who has seen the registration info tab know that there is still hope! Good luck jkh26 and thunderchunky 2
