    Not quite true... they accept about 2-3 ppl per cohort and 1-2 of them are not from their own mpp program... I mean, I knew my chances were slim. Did any of you apply to CMU Heinz? I know a lot of the joint-program decisions are out...but I am wondering what's going on for the pubpol phd decisions. Should I be expecting a rejection letter at this point?

    Berkeley GSPP (Goldman School)'s phd decisions are out... well... at least I got a nice rejection letter today via email. (tears)

    I'm waiting on GSPP as well. I contacted their admission staff and she said the results will be out in the first week of March.. but that's always the 'official' date of notification for these schools... I am not too positive about my chance of getting admitted if I don't hear from them before the first week of March. GSPP sends out only about 3 offers per year right?.. Has anyone got an acceptance from GSPP here?

    I never got an email from Harris...but I saw your post and checked mine...rejected... Oh great. I am still waiting to hear from Berkeley GSPP and CMU Heinz. Do you guys know if GSPP has made all the phd offers?

    Most often, the acceptances come out first,, and then rejections about a month afterwards. But the good news is that some schools don't announce all their acceptances at once but spill their offers over a certain period of time. I don't know how Wagner is...but hope it's one of those schools. Hang in there!!

    Thanks for your kind words. Yes I was aware of the structure of the program... 2-3 ppl per field.. I heard Price's phd has 5 ppl max per cohort (I have a distant friend who is in the 4th yr). Considering how tiny these programs are, we really shouldn't be let down by rejections/waitlists. Good luck to all of us!

    I guess results are trickling out.. So far I've got an admission from USC Price and I jussst got a rejection email from Michigan Ford (pubpol+polsci). Has anyone else heard from Michigan Ford? If you did, hope your email contains a happier news..

    I applied to Berkeley Goldman, Chicago Harris, USC Price, and Michigan Ford.

    Hi- Are there any PhD applicants in public policy/public affairs/policy analysis here?? Where have you guys all applied? Has anyone got an admission offer yet?

    Hi.... Wagner sent me a kind rejection letter via email today.... Shattered me completely. I really wanted to do my phd here so...bummer. Good luck to the rest of you!!

    Hi guys- I just wanted to start a new thread regarding this... new masters program Chicago Harris is offering: MACRM. The acronym stands for a master of arts with a certificate in research methods. Initially, I applied to Harris's phd program in public policy, and was offered an admission to macrm instead. As far as I know, this program is newly minted. Just started. So all I know about this program is what is stated on the harris webpage- two paragraphs about how macrm is an awesome pre-phd program and how this program prepares students for top-tier phd schools. Well, is there anyone ( current harris students, macrm admits, etc) who knows more about this program? I have been offered admissions from two top-10 schools (in the 5th-10th ranking). So honestly I am highly inclined to say goodbye to the macrm program and accept the phd offers. At the same time, I would very much like to know if harris macrm will prepare me to enter the top 5, or (more importantly) increase my chance of being admitted to chicago harris's phd program after the training. Chicago was my top choice for phd,,so there is my reason for even starting this thread. Any comments or thoughts regarding MACRM would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    Just got an email from Evans. Waitlisted.. Hope the school sent you a happier news!
  14. zworld707
    Wait. So are all CMU Heinz phd decisions out already? (including all joint phds?) o.O

    Yeah... I wish all schools get back to us before March 15th so that we have at least a month to make a decision. Well...hopefully all schools will notify their applicants before April. I know Wagner's decisions are coming out at the end of this week (according to their timetable listed on their website). By the way, has anyone heard from Chicago today? They rejected my phd app a couple weeks ago, and just got back to me for MACRM. (It's a new master's program Chicago is offering) I think I checked the box in my application that says 'yes re-use my app for the MACRM admission if I don't get admitted to the phd program.' I am not all too happy about the admission they just gave me. Sweet. They want me to get a second master...

    Has anyone heard? This is ridiculous. On the Wagner webpage, it says they will send out the decisions on ..like..27th of March. Are you really. ARE YOU REALLY, WAGNER?
