pete-mc Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Just checked and also says admitted!!!!!! I am so happy I might cry! Congrats! Did you get any funding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPPgal Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 No idea, it is only in the web page, it is still by far the cheapest and is the only school that offers financial need for people from my country so Im not too worried, 10 k per semester I can afford!!!!

newdisplayname Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Mine still says "in review" , too soon to give up or should I just expect a rejection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenchO Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Also admitted to the MGPS ! Congratulations to all other admitted. I haven't seen any information on the funding on the website though ? Any idea on this ? Is it going to be mailed to us in the next days ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPPgal Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Im guessing that is the case, I mean they haven' even mailed us to check the page thus we weren't yet supposed to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPPgal Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Just got an email and the admissions letter is now avaliliable at the webpage but it doesnt mention the word funding anywhere, Not if I got any or not.....is it the same for all? i mean it is still a lot cheaper but i really want to know!

lacanadiense Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I just logged in to post the same thing, MPPgal. Funny that they sent the emails out on a Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf10087 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yep, I also received the email about 4 hours ago. I had already checked the site, so no surprise there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPPgal Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Does either letter mention the word funding anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenchO Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Nope. But if you look on the result search page, someone posted his admission to the MGPS with this comment : "Funding information will be available in two weeks." I guess, we have to be a little bit more patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPPgal Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks! Hate the austin plataform, most messed up system to apply anywhere, thank god I had alteady checked their website because their weird Sunday email sounded like a rejection one!

lacanadiense Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks! Hate the austin plataform, most messed up system to apply anywhere, thank god I had alteady checked their website because their weird Sunday email sounded like a rejection one! Totally. Making us log into our online account to see the decision was cruel, as is delayed funding information. I guess the latter is standard, sadly.

MPPgal Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yep it is! Funding will come this week, just spoke to Prabhu and she mentioned the funding offers will come this or next week with our official LBJ letters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtow Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Just found out I was accepted as well! Looks like they're updating throughout the day, not that I've been checking repeatedly or anything.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss1987 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Just found out I was accepted as well! Looks like they're updating throughout the day, not that I've been checking repeatedly or anything.... Did you get an email, or did you just check and see if your status had changed? Mine still says in review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newdisplayname Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yey! I´m in. Best of luck everyone that is still "in review" and congrats to the others who also made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtow Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Did you get an email, or did you just check and see if your status had changed? Mine still says in review I just checked. It appears to be updating throughout the day, no rhyme or reason to the order I can see (my buddy also found out around the same time). Keep your head up!

MPPgal Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Will that be sent to our local or permanent addresses? No idea I´m international so she mentioned by email. Maybe for Americans it is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miskina Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Hi! I'm admitted as well. Do you know if we had to fill out a separate form to receive funding, or are we automatically considered? Can we apply for on-campus housing as graduate students (I know that in some schools on-campus housing is only available to undergraduate students...)? Sorry for the stupid questions, I'm from France and I don't know how everything works... Edited March 5, 2013 by Miskina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPPgal Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Funding as in merit aid does not require a separate process and it will come within the week in our admissionsnletter (if they give us any), for financial aid we do need to fill in an application although that one varies according to where you are from. From what I gather from friends in UT graduate students do not live on campus, life in austin is inexpensive in comparison to other places in the US though, check out craigslist.com for info on housing. In order to obtain your I20 a document needed for your visa you need to have funds availiable between personal ,loans and funding equal to tuition and estimated costs of living for a year which the university stipulates. I believe for LBJ that is a bit under 40k. Hope it helps! more questions PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenchO Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Salut Miskina, Nice to see other French applicants here ! From what I understood in all my applications, we were automatically considered for financial aid in our application at LBJ. The decisions for funding should come out this week as MPPGal was told. No idea on campus housing, I would be interested to have an answer as well ! Edited March 5, 2013 by FrenchO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
