FlameLily Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Thanks at ton orangesplease! Phew! I was accepted in early Feb and didn't receive my package in the mail until mid-March, so definitely don't expect it anytime soon. With that said, there was no new information in there. My final fin aid package hasn't been finalized b/c I didn't turn in the grad student supplemental form, so turn it in if you haven't yet! http://finaid.george...ne_pub_0001.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangesplease Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Received a funding update email. It seems like a form email they send to individuals who will receive no aid, but I already received a small scholarship. It asked that I email them to express my interest if I would like to be considered for funding that will be made closer to April 20th. I REALLY NEED THE MONEY!!!! ha ha Why do you play games w/ my heart and purse Georgetown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangesplease Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Will anyone else be attending the Open House on Friday? And anyone else offered more money?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianQ Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 This may be a dumb question, but there is no hope for funding if you get off the wait list, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrou Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I wouldn't think so, but I would suggest calling/emailing the admissions office to see. I accepted my offer a few days ago and will be at GPPI this fall, hope to see some of you there. Does anyone know if there is a Facebook group up yet?

ahoskins321 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I also accepted my offer for fall and was wondering if anyone got any kind of confirmation from the program? I got some stuff about email access from the University but nothing from the program acknowledging I will be attending. Just wondering if anyone heard anything else. I accepted my offer a few days ago and will be at GPPI this fall, hope to see some of you there. Does anyone know if there is a Facebook group up yet? I can't seem to find a facebook group be we should definitely have one. I'm getting excited for fall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangesplease Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 I received an email last week informing me that there would be another round of funding this Wednesday and I would not have to turn in my deposit until this Friday. With that said, the open house on Friday went well. The people were genuine and everyone seemed happy and enthused about the program. Two main things I took away were how quantitatively inclined their program was (and that it was a strength come time for interviews) and how well the career services has done in outreaching to employers o they understand the quality of the program. I'm hoping to receive some good news this Wednesday to solidify my decision. Best to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahoskins321 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Is there a facebook group for new students? I see the GPPI facebook page but it doesn't seem to be specifically for the incoming class. Just wondering if I am missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylittleclover Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Anyone who got wl heard anything from gppi recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangesplease Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I've kept in touch with them over the last week and a half. Last Wednesday they increased my scholarship from $5k to $10k/year and told me I had to decide by April 20th. Still had plenty of financial concerns as I hope to stay in the public sector, so I gave them another email and a couple calls to see what funding possibilities there were. Was informed on Tuesday that my scholarship was increased to $20k/year. Turned in my deposit late last night and received an enrollment confirmation this morning =D However, I am still waiting on one more school whose admissions decisions have been delayed into May. -____- Right now it looks likely that I'll be matriculating to GPPI, but I haven't written off my last school just in case they decide to give me a full ride. ha ha I would gladly sacrifice a $500 deposit for that! Regardless, EXCITED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limepie Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hi everybody! I was short-listed but got the official acceptance decision via the electronic application form today. I have heard absolutely nothing about scholarships and yet I am expected to give my decision by May 1st. I was hoping if anyone could tell me who should I talk to about scholarships/fellowships? Can I contact professors directly about fellowships/assistantships? If I don't get a very good scholarship, there's just no way I will go to GPPI. I got accepted to GWU MBA with no scholarship and had to decline it. My family cannot afford the price of these programs plus I am international and thus do not qualify for any student loans. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! You should contact Emmett Griffin (info below). Phoning him would be your best bet. With that said, their general guidelines for scholarships are above 3.4 gpa and a decent quant score on the standardized test. There should not be any fellowships yet as the few that exist at GPPI were assigned to students early on. The largest scholarship I've seen on this forum and in past years has been 20k/year. In my pursuit for more funding, I can't say there's a high likelihood that there is much or even anything left >.< Good luck in any case!! Emmett R.

Ramya T Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hullo! I was wondering if this thread of discussion is still active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangesplease Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 It's not as active as it was between Feb-April. If there are any inquiries you have, I'm sure folks wouldn't mind chiming in, albeit in less frequency than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
