I applied to the MGPS program on 12/15 and although some of my supporting documents (recommendations, etc.) were not submitted until later that month, I am still really surprised that I haven't heard anything about the status of my application. I emailed LBJ in January and was told that I would have a decision by late February/early March, but no such luck. I emailed them again last week to inquire about my status and have still not received a reply, even though several business days have passed. Particularly considering this a graduate program and people clearly have lives to plan around, I find this very disappointing. I live in Austin and know people who are currently enrolled in LBJ and, even so, I'm not sure I'm willing to consider this program at this point.
