Tips on preparing a strong application package
Make your goals clear
Describe in the Personal Statement your motivation to apply to the MDP program, and how MDP would help you achieve your career objectives.
Highlight experience
Experiences on work, internships, research projects, extracurricular activities are considered favourably during the application reviews. Highlight these experiences in your Personal Statement. Ask a reference to describe your performances during work or a project.
Include all relevant courses
Online courses related to Data Science are considered a plus. Include certificates of completion for relevant online courses in your application.
Ensure your transcript is official
To avoid delay in the admission process, pay special attention to the requirements of official transcripts as outlined on the FGPS website. If you graduated from an institution a few years ago, the transcript issued to you at your graduation will NOT be considered official. Request a new copy of your transcript before you apply so that the transcript will have a recent date of issue.
Partnerships
We are proud to offer partnerships with Canisius University and to host a Data Masters Challenge!
Peer Support Resources
Past and current students have been compiling a website to share their experiences, provide your examples of capstone projects and create a pool of support that you can use to make your experiences even better.
