state_school'12 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi everyone, I just got an acceptance email from La Follette Madison. Woot! I also got the Robert M. La Follette scholarship, which equals half-tution (out of state). It's my first result, and I'll post my stats in a couple days. Good luck everyone!

bgreenster Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I just now got an acceptance email from Maryland MPP.. It's slightly different I think than the normal admitted email (especially since I though Maryland's decisions would be by post) since it was to ask me for a copy of my DOS for the Peace Corps Fellows consideration. Super excited, and glad to have some good news for the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCReservist Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi everyone, I received an email saying that I was recommended for admission to GPPI on February 3. I was also told that I was a candidate for merit aid consideration, and submitted a short statement. They said that I would receive an update on their funding decision by February 17, but nothing came today. Has anyone heard back, or is this likely a sign that I received no funding? Thanks for any info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrou Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Anyone heard back from GW about MPP? I'm starting to see the responses about MPA and am getting anxious. I submitted my MPP application on 1/15 and got an email from Trachtenberg yesterday (2/16) saying I would be recommended for admission. Unfortunately no merit aid/fellowship offer though. I've seen a few other people say they were accepted but also with no funding, is GWU just stingy with their aid? Or is it because their tuition seems considerably lower than other private/out of state schools to begin with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it because their tuition seems considerably lower than other private/out of state schools to begin with? I'm not sure what to make of it. The email I got said I was "in the pool being considered for funding opportunities," even though since I applied as a part-time student my understanding is that I'm ineligible for any aid anyway.

tcalnon Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Attending GW as an undergrad, I can tell you that GW is often very stingy with aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DualCitizenIR Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi everybody, I've known of gradcafe for a while but haven't posted anything til now. Anyway, I got accepted to Korbel with the $18,000 scholarship on February 15th as well. It is the first result for me and I love how it takes the pressure off a bit. Still not that cheap but better than getting in somewhere more prestigious with no funding IMO. I hope some other programs say something soon, especially IHEID! Congrats to everyone for the acceptances this early in the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannotdecide Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 So, is it that if you were accepted and being considered for funding that you got an email from GPPI? I applied jan 17 and haven't heard anything...email or post wise. Also, as I am abroad but applied as a US citizen, I am guessing that I will receive all of my notifications later than everyone else. Are schools that strict about notifying their candidates only by post? I also applied to Maryland but have not heard anything thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlr1700 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Thought I would chime in...I was also accepted to GW's MPA program without funding (Feb. 16). Grr. Still waiting on American's MPA decisions. Its okay though, I have some other offers with potential funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegun Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Hi, guys. I got accepted into Maxwell (MAIR) as well; I received the e-mail on the 16th. Still no word on funding, though, just like a few other people mentioned above. Still waiting on four more schools. Fingers crossed!

domnulsl Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 And now I'm going to refresh like a crazy person. Lol! You should check your status online using your Application ID. At the bottom of your admission profile, there should be a button for "accept offer" or "reject offer" if you got accepted, I think it is two days faster to know their decision than waiting for the email. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in your position too after I heard they were sending out acceptance letter in early Feb. But I think they might do it in alphabetical order so don't fret just yet!
