Havent heard anything after I asked if acceptance/rejection go out via email or phone. They said email. Besides that, no status updates. Yes, I applied and got in. 2nd round offers should be made shortly - I believe we have until the end of this month or so to accept/reject the offer.

I hear that the program is small so crossing my fingers I contacted the graduate coordinator and was told that my application was deemed incomplete, so consequently the file was not sent to the admissions committee. I was confused because I made sure to apply before the deadline with all the docs uploaded (and I reviewed this rigorously) seeing as MIPP was my top choice. After checking with Kelly Brown (program officer) it turns out my application was complete after all, and it's only now that they'll be sending my application to the admissions committee. I've already missed what it seems to be 2 rounds of offers, for reasons beyond my control. I don't know what to make of it. All in all I'm pretty bummed and feeling totally defeated at this point. I would check the status of your application with them just to make sure something funky isn't happening.
Romeo13 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Hey guys, Sort of late to post on this. I was wondering what other individuals would do if they were in my situation (which I believe a number of you may be). I got accepted into all 3 schools I applied for, NPSIA, GSPIA, and EURUS. I have already declined the EURUS offer. I was offered roughly 15k in scholarships for GSPIA and a Teaching Assistantship. I am waiting to hear what I will be receiving from NPSIA, worse case scenario is that I only receive an entry level scholarship. If that is the case what you guys do, pick GSPIA or NPSIA? I'm sort of torn because NPSIA was my first choice going into these applications, and it's also very hard to turn down full funding if I don't get full or almost full funding from NPSIA. Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. I got into Munk, GSPIA, and NPSIA. I've already declined Munk but GSPIA and NPSIA have always been a tough choice for me. I got a very generous funding offer from GSPIA (~20k and a TAship) so I'm definitely waiting on funding info from NPSIA. Beyond that, I'm reaching out to former profs and to students I know who did either of the programs. Here's my take on the two: - GSPIA has a more professional structure, possibly more work/coop opportunities, class sizes, and all around good feedback from students - NPSIA has the faculty I'd rather work with, the more prestigious name, but mixed reviews from students about class size and program structure. Anyone else have thoughts? Ladyfinger and blaffy78 2
AlinaD Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Yeah, if you know you are going to be rejecting Munk please let us know! Good luck to everyone else who is waiting! IglaSis, AndrewH17, blaffy78 and 1 other 2 2
vanatrick Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 My formal offer for NPSIA just came in—$14k in funding! I will probably not be turning this down hdh 1

wildestdreams Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 My offer for NPSIA also came through. I'm a little confused as the funding page isn't very clear, but it seems like they offered 8k total - split 6k in first year and 2k in second. I might be totally wrong though. I'm will likely make my choice during Easter weekend.

I found the funding info on "Statement of Standing" page to be a lot more clear and comprehensible than on the "Awards and Funding" page, just FYI!
hdh Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Also got my full offer from NPSIA - about 25k over the two years, in the Conflict Analysis & Conflict Resolution specialization

If you're still waiting on yours I wouldn't worry about it—the results from last year show that applicants who were all unofficially accepted the same day received funding notifications at different times.

elizabethj626 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Where does it say about TAship?? on the statement of standing?

twrsar Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 For those of us with applications on hold to NPSIA. I spoke to Tabbatha today and confirmed what it means. Being on hold means that your application has been deemed admissible to the program, however not high enough to be included in the first round of admissions. Applications on hold will be looked at for second round admissions that will likely occur in May (potentially April). I believe this is based on how much space opens up in the program after the first round. There isn't a wait list and those on hold are not ranked. There isn't much to do apart from wait until May.

twrsar Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 It means we are in for a long wait, thats for sure. And questionable acceptance. Ladyfinger 1
bananas22 Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Has anyone heard anything from BSIA's Global Governance PhD Program?
