Akueldo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Congrats to all accepted! @Akueldo was this update posted at the same time or did you get a second email about it? Nothing in my letter about it and the accepted student site says under "Resources" that fellowships would be mentioned in the acceptance letter :/ I got just the one email, but I have two letters on my status page. One is the acceptance letter, and the other is the funding. They were both there at the same time, I think. dudeinspace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Policykid Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 hi all.. just heard back from the Admission Committee.. Any fellowships if awarded, would have been mentioned in the admission letter itself.. Besides only 10% of the first year MPA-DP student are awarded scholarships...

dudeinspace Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Guys at the bottom of the "congratulations letter" there is a second notification/post. There was the info of funding for me, I got 25k!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondForAmerica Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Just got my acceptance. No funding info yet. Congrats to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsFutureDiplomat Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Just got my second letter (didn't come as an email just inside my application portal). $35,000 scholarship because of my interest in Russian area studies. I'm thrilled and honored. Best of luck to everyone else . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayshin0220 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I emailed funding office, If you were awarded a fellowship, you would have received a letter today. If you didn't receive notification, then unfortunately we weren't able to offer you an award at this point. Still happy but man it's expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filmore22 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Just received my acceptance as well. No funding but still excited, SIPA was my top choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CantHardlyWait Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I got in!!! Can't believe it!! my acceptance letter came with a financial aid letter attached offering a 50K fellowship and additional assistantship for the second year. Super happy ReinventOneself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurbee Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 So happy for and proud of everyone who was admitted! I was rejected, but that's ok by me as I knew it was a reach school for me anyway and wasn't my top choice. Congrats to everyone and best of luck making the final decisions!

it's an IR world Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I got in -- super shocked. Tuition fees concern me less than cost of living in NY. Maybe I'll live in New Jersey. In any case, CONGRATS TO ALL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haupia Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Accepted into the MIA program with a $80,500 scholarship over two years. I'm still in disbelief Edited March 10, 2015 by haupia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepeople Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I haven't heard back one way or another, should I take that as a sign that I have been rejected? Has anyone else not heard back yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewmaster Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Congrats everyone who got admitted! Seems like SIPA gives out generous funding @thepeople I spoke to admissions over phone yesterday, the emails are being sent out on a rolling basis. You'll hear from them by today or tomorrow mostly. So relax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenixx Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I got in but no mention of funding. Does anyone know if students who do not get an offer of assistantship will still be able to get one in the second year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombaygunner Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Got in. The letter says they will let us know about "possible sources of financial aid" in a few weeks. I guess this means I haven't been awarded funding and they will try to sort me out with external aid? I think no matter what happens, it's good to know you're Ivy League material.

exnomial Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 did anyone get their Columbia ID on their admit letter? the admitted student page says we should have it but I don't see it anywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprocrastinator Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 did anyone get their Columbia ID on their admit letter? the admitted student page says we should have it but I don't see it anywhere... According to the website: "Approximately one month after you accept your admission offer and submit your tuition deposit, you will be provided with a university network ID ("UNI") via the Columbia computing website. Your UNI is your Columbia University email address and will allow you to access student websites. For more information, please visit http://uni.columbia.edu/" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolicyGrad92 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hi, have been off the forum for long. I got an application update yesterday, offering a 34k funding offer across two years. I'm not sure if the amount will help me much though, fingers crossed for remaining universities. Looking at the posts here, it seems a lot of us got funding, congratulations all! And congrats to all who got accepted. I was an early decision acceptance, and I have not got a UNI yet.. On this forum, I've read a lot about how Fletcher takes a personal interest in the accepted students and how SIPA is impersonal. I on the other hand have got frequent mails from SIPA, with a current student as well as an alumna working in similar fields emailing me personally and putting me through to relevant people at the school. I have zero news from Fletcher since the acceptance. This is interesting! Any one else seen this different practice? Any idea if the International Fellows Programme decisions are out as well?

I have zero news from Fletcher since the acceptance. This is interesting! Any one else seen this different practice? Tufts Fletcher School stuff: U.S. applicant here. I received a personalized email in mid-February from Fletcher saying they enjoyed reading about x, y, and z in my application. I was quite impressed they went to such a personal touch. I wrote a reply and got a nice reply back. No other news on admissions from them since then, but judging by their blog we will know very soon.

ir_gradstudent Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Got accepted to Columbia SIPA. It's the first of six grad admissions decisions I've received, so I'm really happy for the sake of my fragile ego in this process that the first was a "yes"! No word on funding, and there is no extra link to a funding package on my acceptance letter or on the application site. I will contact them before the week is out and see if there is any hope for last-minute funding, although I think other posters above me have done so and received a negative response.

boston_hopeful Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Sigh. I didn't apply to Columbia SIPA (or any other schools, to be fair) this cycle due to personal circumstances. Reading all your happy acceptance posts is making me slightly jealous! Anyhow, congrats to all those who got in! Job well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boats Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hi had anyone heard about scholarships yet from SIPA? I know the admission letter states that in few weeks they will send information about financial aid. Today I also received an email about possible sources of scholarships to apply for. But no news of scholarships. Are scholarships announced in the admission letter itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
