m4g1c0ff3 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I received an informal email from admissions at CMU Heinz informing me of an offer and asking if I wanted to learn more about the DC track. For anyone else interested or waiting, they told me I'd receive an official offer letter in a week or so. I'm intrigued by the DC track program. Beyond what I've read on their website, do any of you have any perspectives regarding this alternative program? a friend of mine is doing it and its working out well for her. I don't know your stats, but its awesome they offered you that. they only accept about 30 people. I've applied but I'm not counting on it. I'm hoping i can break into their regular two year program. the way I see it, its an extra year to start making money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.c. Mack Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Anyone know of a forum or other resource comparing MPAs from AU - SPA and GWU - Trachtenberg? US News has AU at #6 and GWU at #15. MPP comparison forum says GWU > AU. I know GW is generally considered more elite (Undergrad, Elliot, Law School, etc.) so what accounts for US News ranking. Any help appreciated... stats in signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Ash Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Just got an email from GWU - 'recommended for admission' for the MPA program. No funding though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgreenster Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I got into my safety, University of Tennessee (I'm a Tennessee resident) which is helping sanity levels a LOT. I have my Georgetown interview tomorrow, and should be hearing back from Maryland really soon, so this waiting game is hopefully reaching an end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting on it and it is a very expensive school. And in a very HIGH CLASS neighborhood.... via email. I had just finished an online interview with another school and was a bit down on myself for not doing as well as I know I could have, so it was welcome news. As I plan on working for the government after, taking out that much in loans despite the $18k a year scholarship is daunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond what I've read on their website, do any of you have any perspectives regarding this alternative program? Update: Talked with an admissions representative and switched my acceptance from the three semester track to the DC program. He walked me through the benefits of both and we decided that was the better fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjo Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hi everyone: Been lurking the boards during the process, so I thought I'd finally contribute. Heard back from CIPA about 2 weeks ago, admitted with about 75% of tuition covered (which I think is standard for their fellows). Haven't heard from any other schools, although I did get invited to interview for Fels last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaAce Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Heard back from to schools, Hertie School of Governance (way cheaper than american schools) and American University (surprise to find out so soon, I applied on January 30). Waiting for 5 more schools: GPPI Georgetown, NYU Wagner, Michigan Ford, Fels U Penn, UCSD. Does anyone who has been admitted to American knows when merit based aid decisions will come out? Thanks!!!
