I´ve literally waited years for this week to come. It feels unreal. Best of luck everyone.

Intl development, but Im most probaby going to reject the offer.

This conversation is like watching some toddlers fight over a plastic bucket in the sandbox.

MPA-DP

Not until the 18th (next monday)... What program did you apply to?

FML. Well I got in, I´ll get the money from somewhere else

So I received an email from Cathy White informing me of my acceptance (again), but no mention whatsoever of funding. However, the email included the enrollment confirmation form... Does that mean I´m not getting anything?

Haha, welcome aboard! I am in the same situation and wondering the same thing... I try to not let my brain eat itself..

Has anyone heard anything else regarding funding?

I would have applied to higher ranked schools. I think that I am very insecure about myself and also the better the school, more chances of getting funded (at least in my situation). But how was I supposed to know?

OMG that´s amazing! Congrats! Now I want that too haha ... Let´s see if they offer me any money AT ALL (not counting my chickens, I am actually quite surprised I was admitted tbh)... Again, congratulations guys

I´m almost exactly in the same boat! I was admitted at both Korbel and Brandeis´ SID MA programs, and I am currently waiting to hear from the MDP from Columbia. However, my main concern is that I will only be able to get external funding if I get accepted at highly-ranked institutions and I am really hoping I get accepted in SIPA (oh, the irony). However, I`ve tried to make extensive research on these programs and so far the "most convincing" option for me is Brandeis. Not only is much cheaper than the other programs (tuition around 43k for two years if you go for the practicum instead of the advanced studies track), but the Heller school is also ranked no.9 in social policy in the US. Additionally, the location (Waltham, 20 mins from Boston) is more strategic than Denver. Now, this is just my opinion, it would be very interesting to hear from someone that went through the same decision-making process to hear their ideas. Hope this helps!

BTW, who else has applied to this program? Anyone from Mexico?

Nason, I wrote them and they said they´ll be releasing notifications at the same time than the rest of the programs (the week of the 18th) so we can´t do anything but wait ksflkdgfjfgdlkjdfgklfdjslsjfkdsljfds

Hey, so I decided to resurrect this post for those of us who applied to the MPA-DP program at SIPA. I have a question: Are they going to release notifications on the 18th just like in the rest of the programs? Since the program has an independent admissions committee I was thinking that they may manage things differently? I don´t know...

Yey! I´m in. Best of luck everyone that is still "in review" and congrats to the others who also made it.

Mine still says "in review" , too soon to give up or should I just expect a rejection?

BA in Communications with a specialization in Journalism.

When you misspell the CITY where the school is when talking to the admissions director... And then being corrected... and apologize.. dsjhnfkjhfdjfdhjhfdkjdfkdsjfks

MPA in Development Practice

This message appeared today on My Status: "Each individual graduate program sets its own schedule for reviewing application files. You should consult the graduate coordinator in the program to which you have applied to determine when decisions will be made." So, that means that I can call? Should I? What do you think?

Hello everyone. I´ve been offered admission to this program and I would like to get some advice on the program´s reputation, academic rigour and career opportunities... Anyone? :/ Thanks!

Does anyone know when will they come out with the decisions? I heard that they were going to let us know mid February but I´m not sure if that is true. Also, will they notify us by email or postal? Should I just call? :S

Accepted at DU Korbel (International Development). Waiting to hear from The New School, Brandeis, Clark, SIPA and LBJ. Anxiety is eating me alive.
