BillyBillyBilly Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) "seems like at some a few people should have heard" Wowwww, did not realize my edit only made that grammar catastrophe worse. Good to hear I guess, hope good news comes rolling in for both of us soon! Edited March 7, 2015 by BillyBillyBilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamins0d Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I found the thread a little late, I got my acceptance to Munk on Thursday. No official word on funding, though from what I hear I'm not expecting much. Still waiting on NPSIA/GPSIA, as well as SSHRC decisions on April 1st (which is the cruellest thing imaginable).

yaddayadda Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hi, perpetual lurker here. Applied to the Political Science MA programs at UBC, McGill, U of T, and Memorial + SHHRC funding for all. My research interests are political psychology and political communication. Stats: cgpa is 3.9 or 4.0 depending on whether or not they include my first two years, experience as a research assistant for two profs and a PhD student, lots of extracurriculars (writing, electoral politics, activism, undergraduate academic journal), honours thesis, good references (though from faculty not in my subfield). I can only attend any program if its funded. As far as I can tell none of these programs have sent out any MA decisions yet (and from results search seems like it still might be a while) and the wait is killing me. Second-guessing myself like crazy - wish I'd spent more time revising my SOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hopefully this will be comforting to you: you are WAY better on paper as a candidate for an MA than I was and I got into every program I applied to with funding. I think your chances are very good. From what you've listed, I think you'll have your choice of programs. The wait may be awful, but you're going to get in.

atnight12 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) U of T masters acceptances are out. Just called the M.A secretary about decisions on entrance scholarships/OGS etc., apparently those are being released sometime next week. So late!

Sorta getting antsy, as I have 3 business days remaining to accept/reject Carleton's MA offer. UBC won't be making MA decisions for at least another week and a half, decisions probably not out for another two weeks Edited March 12, 2015 by yaddayadda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victorydance Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Yeah, they seemed to have wanted people to respond in two weeks (by the 27th)...which is ridiculous, I didn't even reply to their acceptance email. I mean jeez, they barely fund any of their students then they expect them to commit before SSHRC results come out?

yaddayadda Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 that SSHRC e-mail is tearing me apart basically 'hello, just so you know we've made a decision and have changed everything in the system and everything but you don't get to know 'til tomorrow, see ya!'
