I got an email around two months ago from the SGS with a link and instructions to create your join id. It was titled "Important: Your UofT JoinID." if you do that you should get access to ACORN.

Duplified Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Well it is still not too late! My ACORN changed after my SGS application changed to "decision made" so dont drop all hope yet. Also, @thebigcheese CONGRATS! Thats fantastic!
bambing Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 oh god im so nervous for tomorrow now. my ACORN status hasn't changed either and I'm still "under review" D: Good luck to everyone!

Norma955 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Who else feels that NPSIA is a lot more generous with funding and scholarships than GSPIA? Comparing my $29,000 at NPSIA to $12,000 for GSPIA... This is a huge difference, anyone else have this dilemma?

I haven't gotten my official offer yet but yes I am surprised. @Kaspara got a huge offer from NPSIA but then got 12k I believe for GSPIA? To be honest, I thought it would have been the opposite. My decision depends on what funding GSPIA offers - but from the looks of it, they're mostly giving out 12k Edited March 15, 2017 by Hopeful2017
Hopeful2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Lol my status from uOttawa MPA went from admitted with my offer and everything back to under evaluation?

I wish they were reversed, honestly, since GSPIA is ahead of NPSIA in my rankings.

Hopeful2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Hey guys, quick update on GSPIA. I just found out that there has been a technical glitch. Apparently I have been admitted since last week, but the system keeps showing under evaluation. I called the Graduate Office and now they need to get technical support... so crazy. Just thought I'd share. Also, my MPA "admitted" status for uOttawa is also now back to under evaluation. Basically, the girl on the phone said she can see my offers for both programs yet the system still shows under eval. Just something to keep in mind.

Oh wow, I might give them a call to see if that's the case for me. So typical of uOttawa lol.

Very crazy to hear lol. She said I was admitted to GSPIA last week, official offer and everything but there is a technical glitch saying I'm only still under evaluation. Now my uOttawa MPA status has changed BACK to "admitted". This system is horrible. If I hadn't called to check up on my MPA application, I would have never known this about GSPIA and could have been on under evaluation for god knows how long haha, so maybe double check!

Did you just call and ask if you were admitted yet and if there was a discrepancy with your online profile, or were some jedi mind tricks involved?

I had asked originally about my MPA application. I was admitted to that last night, and this morning it switched back to under evaluation. When we were discussing that, I had asked about GSPIA. She said she could see on my file that I was in fact admitted also to GSPIA last week, but it still says under evaluation because of a technical glitch. Apparently it has been happening to a lot of students - we are actually admitted but it glitches to keep saying under eval. Apparently she contacted IT and they are working on it. She told me I should receive the offer hopefully today or tomorrow but for sure Friday. Edited March 15, 2017 by Hopeful2017
nnsml Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Has anyone heard back from Munk? They informed me that first round offers were to be released early this week, but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sisaidba 1
jjr Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 My status on acorn also changed to this: but my SGS application still says under review and no official email yet ... anyone else in the same situation? nnsml 1
nnsml Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Hmm. I'm currently a UofT student and can't seem to find anything to do with the MGA application on my Acorn account. Under the Academics section it only lists the program I'm now enrolled in
