I am an international student, so I applied to Munk, Yale and Harvard for the European and Russian studies programs it really upsets me that none of these programs offer funding, and there is no chance I could get into a PhD with an undergraduate MA from a British uni... ugh this is so frustrating! Have you heard from any other schools yet? So CERES @ Munk doesn't offer any funding to international students?? I know for a fact that funding from CERES is quite generous for domestic students. The mandatory European internship after the first year is what turned me away from applying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msat Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Uottawa FINALLY uploaded my research description file for the MPA. I suppose that things are starting to "brew" ever so gently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justapersonwhochangednames Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Guys I just found a spelling mistake in my SOP. It was the name of the UN Sec-Gen. I gave him one too many t's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeful2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Anyone else receive a "we've updated your admission file" for uOttawa right now? *Edit* This is for their MPA program...

Mine has been complete since mid January! That's why I'm thinking maybe it's a possible decision? I don't know why they would update it for any other reason at this point.

I don't know why they would update it for any other reason at this point. The system has sent me a couple of those "update" emails in recent weeks, but in the end there were no changes to my account. Don't get your hopes up as the school informed that beginning of March is when offers will start going out. Then again, bureaucracies aren't always in unison so it might very well be an admission offer! I hope for your sake it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefeatistElitist Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 My NPSIA app is now rocking that sweet " recommended for assessment" status. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats awesome! You are one step further than me. Mine is still showing "review in progress by department", which I'm assuming means they are checking to see if all my ducks in a row before they even consider my application for admission.
