  1. NYU...you want UN-type work experience so be in NY.
  2. Hello ASEANdumpling, Congratulations on the successful negotiation! Do you mind sharing who you contacted to discuss this aid increase at SIPA? Also have you decided between SIPA and Fletcher? You can PM me if you prefer. I would really appreciate it.
  3. March 18 at least for MIA/MPA http://blogs.cuit.columbia.edu/sipa/2012/12/26/the-next-eight-months/
  4. Hilldog2016 Did you apply for the Robertson? They said that phone interviews would only be starting on 3/1
  5. Hi...im waiting too. On their website it says decisions are sent out 3-4 weeks after the application is complete. http://www.publicpolicy.umd.edu/admissions/faq?destination=node/744 Some people have already heard so decisions should continue to trickle in until March when the floodgates open. Good luck Also be sure to check out the "Government Affairs" subforum for all public policy info
  6. Hi, I'm still waiting too, but you might want to move this to "Government Affairs" because it will get more swamped on this sub-forum with postings from non-MPAs/MPPS applications
  7. I missed that you put SIS too. This is from their website: http://www.american.edu/sis/admissions/faq/index.cfm#app Are admissions decisions ever reconsidered by the Admissions Committee? All admission decisions are final. Should you have any questions about how to improve your file for future admissions consideration, please contact our office within one month of the date of your decision letter.
  8. Fletcher does http://fletcher.tufts.edu/Admissions/Frequently-Asked-Questions/Reapplication-and-Deferrals
  9. waylon...the reason I suggested that you at least offer an explanation is because think about your reading audience. Remember your readers are human and possess some sense of curiousity so a switch from pol sci to MSIT is rather unconventational, at least to me. If I saw your profile, the first question I'd have is why? How much you spend is stylistic but I do agree with Iowa do not spend 250 words of a 500 word prompt on it...maybe 20, maybe 120 lol
  10. hi, you are right about avoiding childhood experiences. You must have made a willing decision five years ago to switch from Pol Sci to IT, which warrants an explanation. Your SOP should focus on what you have accomplished in the workplace and how it relates to your intended degree. Do any of your work projects or assignments relate to anything you would expect to study? If so highlight that. Since you have extensive experience an effective SOP will draw upon the skills you have developed and how an MSIT will further said skills. good luck
  11. one strategy is just to test #s... Make y=60. Is it divisible by 10 and 12? Yes. Now, is 60 divisible by 24? No. The question is asking whether this divisibility relationship will always hold true. As you can see it does not.
