Yeah true. I'll probably be going based on the funding offer if admitted. It's crazy to think that next week we is the beginning of March and that we could all start getting some offers!

See, id be okay with that, just so I'd know if I should start applying to summer courses and backup winter programs with later deadlines. It's the long wait lists that reallllly annoy me. Impossible to plan life around them. bambing 1

At this point its out of our hands, so if some of us do get rejected then we have to try again next year. Im toying with the idea of dusting off the old backpack to go travelling for a few months if these applications don't pan out...always gotta look for silver linings! bambing 1
Duplified Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 I was wondering if anyone knows how many applications were submitted to the Munk School this year? It looks like the MPP program at U of T got 650 this year for 80 spots (and is 3 weeks out from issuing offers), and from all of the figures regarding NPSIA and GSPIA it looks like there was a similar influx of applications. Probably because of Trump? But as such, I wonder if we will actually get letters this upcoming week? I know last year Munk offered March 1st, but if they had a similar uptick, its probably closer to 2-3 weeks?

(i.e. is this a big jump or they typically receive way more applications than spots).
msat Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 My Uottawa MPA status just changed to "under evaluation".
Duplified Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Congrats on the change! its starting to move along! Also, I believe the MPP program usually gets roughly the same as the Munk School, so 350-500 ( I would assume the Munk School got a similar 650 this year). This looks like its a significant uptick. Kind of makes me worry as the larger the pool, the harder it is to get in :/ Then again, I'm assuming a fair amount of the people applying might only have decided to go this route this year, if it is partially due to Trump, and thus may not have the same background and CV, but even then this still isn't a great sign.

PoliticalNerd2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 The week has come to an end..... One of my Carleton applications is still on 'Review in Progress by Department' stage (M.A Poli Sci) and the other is on 'Recommended to Assessment' (NPSIA).. I'm thinking it could be a bit longer this year if the no. of applications has increased. Perhaps we will find out in a week or two.
Duplified Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Good luck on the week ahead everyone! I hope we get some offers in! Carleton is supposed to decide on their MPPA program by the end of February with offers in the few days following (fingers crossed). So maybe all of you NPSIA folks will start hearing as well Starting to get really nervous over here haha. msat 1

GSPIA said " You should expect an answer by the beginning of March" so it seems next week could also be possible offers from them too! Hoping for the best for us all on here! msat 1
DefeatistElitist Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Munk offers seem to typically go out the first week of March too.

justapersonwhochangednames Posted February 27, 2017 Author Posted February 27, 2017 Yup! Already mentally preparing to rethink my research focus and statements for next year's round of apps, in case I don't get any bites this year for whatever reason. good luck, all, and let's post here if there's any movement on applications. Hope ya'll are not stressing too hard!
Nupur11 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Is it just me or does anyone else also get nervous whenever the week starts?
Nupur11 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 @justapersonwhochangednames Hi, I see you are considering IHEID? Have you applied there?

I am actually finalizing my late application, after a lot of pacing back and forth! Likely will not be able to go there even if I were admitted. I've visited though and it's a small beautiful modern campus and lovely faculty.
Hopeful2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Another week of obsessively checking my statuses and emails
PoliticalNerd2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Good luck y'all!!! Please do continue to post updates including rejections (I'm sure people may lose interest in checking in once they get good/bad news) but please do!! bambing 1
Nupur11 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Finally my NPSIA status changed to "Review in progress by department", so glad . 2 weeks and Munk application still "Under Review". I am going crazy, checking my email literally every 30 mins.

I follow this thread Graduate Institute 2017, not many MIA applicants there so I am wondering how many MIA applicants they get?

I heard MIA applicants are in abundance but Intl History ones, not so much.
