timeisticking Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Just got admitted to my third choice... I am relieved that not matter what, i'll enter an MA, but i'll be crushed if i don't enter NPSIA lol i just try not to think about it Congratulations! Which other programs did you apply for?
bilbo Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I just got accepted into GPSIA (third choice as well)... Same sentiments as Marika
marika287 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I just got accepted into GPSIA (third choice as well)... Same sentiments as Marika Congratulations ^^ ! and i wish you your first choice Congratulations! Which other programs did you apply for? My third choice is International Studies at Laval University, which is in french. The structure of the program is about the same as NPSIA, but I would prefer Carleton, better reputation, it's in Ottawa and it's in english. My second choice is Political Sciences MA at Mcgill, mainly for the reputation of the school, but it isn't really a professional MA. The good point in Mcgill is that it's in Montreal, but still then, I will be extremely sad not to get into NPSIA lol Did you apply at a lot of programs ?
icedtea Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 My status changed to review in progress, still not recommended for assessment, but we are getting there.

Sounds like you know what you want specifically. I think Université Laval would be great, considering that it is right in Quebec City and you will have gain lots of experience. As for McGill, I don't think you should be too worried about it. It's not a professional MA, but it would work great as a terminal MA in case you want to do a Ph.D later. I didn't apply to a lot of programs. I applied to NPSIA, GPSIA at the University of Ottawa, and another school of Public and International Affairs. Edited March 6, 2014 by timeisticking
newpollution Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I was just notified by Tabbatha that I got in. Good luck to everyone
icedtea Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Congrats! From what I can tell, international applications get processed once the Canadian applications are through. I don't know how that effects my chances (what if the Canadians fill up the cohort?). Either way, I don't expect to hear from them for a while. Edited March 10, 2014 by icedtea
marika287 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Just got the email !!!! Though it is still unofficial, I can't stop jumping everywhere from excitement !!! Good luck to you all !!!
nakfa Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I was just notified by Tabbatha that I got in. Good luck to everyone Congrats! has your status changed on the admissions login?
satellite2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I've received the same unofficial email. Congrats to all and good luck to those still waiting. I am waiting for funding info to see if I accept. FYI My status has not changed on carleton central.
nakfa Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Thanks satellite, just one more question, for those accepted, was it just one mass email then for first-round picks?
satellite2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Thanks satellite, just one more question, for those accepted, was it just one mass email then for first-round picks? I'm sorry I really don't know, mine was addressed directly to me by name but the remainder of the email could've been generic. I remember someone on this thread saying that not all acceptances would come today so they must be working on them this week and in the past most of them came aorund March 18-19th. I know the feeling of waiting is awful...I'm still waiting on McGill's decision which is notoriously late. Good luck
newpollution Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Congrats! has your status changed on the admissions login? No status change yet. The email suggested that it'll be updated when the Faculty officially approves my application.
marika287 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 does somebody knows how many students they are taking in ?
Archie1991 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Also got an email this morning! Congrats to everyone who has been accepted and good luck to those still waiting, hopefully you hear soon. My status on Carleton Central still says Recommended for Assessment as well.
bilbo Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Got an email this morning too! congrats to everyone who got accepted, and fingers crossed for those who haven't recieved any email. Does anyone know what average/gpa one needs to maintain?
bentharbour Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Got an email this morning too! congrats to everyone who got accepted, and fingers crossed for those who haven't recieved any email. Does anyone know what average/gpa one needs to maintain? It is usually an A-, generally speaking for the FGPA. In my experience, the actual department does not seem to care, but if you drop the FGPA may raise questions. Edited March 10, 2014 by bentharbour
Gabrielle Bishop Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Just got an email from Tabbatha; I'm in as well!
devynlyn Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Got the email as well, definitely some good news to wake up to! Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back

In my experience, the actual department does not seem to care, but if you drop the FGPA may raise questions. All it says on statement of standing is "Conditions on Admission Admission conditional upon receipt of official transcript indicating degree(s) conferred with required standing: B. of Social Science, University of Western Ontario"
vikramc Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Hi, With sinking heart there is a fading hope that I might get to hear something positive, the lull is worrying! Any news for people like me who are waiting with fingers crossed.
lahdeedah Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 Hi all, I also received my unofficial acceptance from NPSIA on Monday. I'd definitely be curious to hear when people start receiving official acceptances, funding decisions, updates on Carleton Central, etc. Also, as an FYI for those who applied to Munk at UofT, I did get an email with some funding info today. Good luck to those still waiting to hear!
Archie1991 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Just checked my status on Carleton Central, it has now changed to "Review in progress by Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs", based on Tabbatha's email I assume this is the final step before the official offer goes out. On the Application Details paged my Specialization has changed to my preferred field as well. Edited March 12, 2014 by Archie1991
nakfa Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 well looks like im on hold, my gpa was average but I was hoping that my work experiences would level the playing field. If you guys are rejecting npsia or munk, it would be much appreciated if you guys did so asap:P Heres to hoping!
