NYU Wagner Decisions are out


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Just wanted to let you know that Wagner has begun sending decisions. I was admitted via email this morning with a 75% tuition scholarship, pretty nice. Good luck to the rest of you.

Congrats! Great to hear. Another application I can officially start stressing about incessantly.

Congrats!

And the unease level has just been ratcheted up... Thanks for the update

Out of curiousity, what were your stats and intended subfield?

Nevermind, saw the separate thread on stats

This is really stressful - I haven't heard anything. I wonder if the first round of people that were accepted all received the 75% tuition and if they are working backwards from there? I've seen that in previous years admits were sent in March with funding decisions in April.

wondering if there is still hope for those of us who need lots of $$$

I received my email notification on Friday as to being accepted which was exciting, as well as scholarship funding. The amount was rather low I feel (about 30% of tuition). Apparently the Goldberg Fellowship is set to notify semi-finalists either this week or next of their status. I was also accepted to USC with about 60% tuition funding. I'd really love to go to Wagner, but I don't know if the funds are going to make sense.

Did anyone hear anything about assistantships? Any ideas of how to get Wagner to match what USC gave me? Is it okay to ask if they might be willing to do that?

I'm planning to attend the visiting day on the 9th of April.

Hopeful - I submitted my application at the end of November. I don't know how they do the notifications.

I was surprised too by the mention of semi-finalist, I hadn't seen anything to that effect before. Will we hear about finalists before we have to make a decision?

I'm frustrated because I don't think NYU is a very realistic option at the moment, urgh.

I'm in! Health Policy and Management (HPAM), Part-Time, Fall 2010. Haven't really decided on a specialization yet - applied as Management, now leaning towards Policy.

No scholarship, as I receive tuition remission benefits from my employer for going part-time.

Hope you all will be joining me at Wagner this Fall - best of luck! See you at the New Student Retreat.

First post - please go easy!

I got accepted yesterday and was very disappointed about not receiving scholarship funding.

I think they really take into account your specialization when applying for admission even though this doesn't need to be declared right away.

I'm feeling a little confused now - do I want to take on that much debt and graduate in what could still be a difficult job market? I probably won't make too much more than I do now at least right away.

Overall, it's difficult not feeling wanted by the program and NYC is expensive.

Anyone else feeling a bit down about this?

I got an acceptance letter too but no scholarship. How do they decide who gets a scholarship and who doesn't , is it based on the quality of the application or am I out of the running anyway because I am an international student?

Also they said I have to fulfil the Professional Experience Requirement but I have been working in the British civil service for five years? Can anyone explain this for me?

Is everyone getting physical acceptance letters or emails??

Thanks :)

Still waiting here, too. Notices seem to have been quite spread out this year, though. People have reported receiving the notice at all hours of the day. Sometimes I try to convince myself that they simply alphabetize these things because my last name is toward the end of the alphabet. :P

Hey ginger1, the finalists to the Reynolds scholarships have already been contacted. They sent the email on March 9th as they promised.

I was lucky enough to be selected among them.

They said that 30 finalistes were selected for the 10 spots, the final panel is on april 7th.

I also got my notice on the 9th and I was not selected, so they are sending to everyone.

Ferro, a huge CONGRATULATIONS!!! Reynolds (beyond the money) is a great opportunity. I wish you the best of luck at the selection panel.
