Hey. McCourt sent me two emails about update of the waitlist, but that was nothing, only saying that they are not be able to consider waitlist now and will review in the coming weeks. By the way, I got 10,000 funding from GW but no reply from Maryland, so I guess I will accept GW's admission. Maybe see you in DC then.

Hi, Pavlik, Thank you very much for your opinions! As I know, the expenses (tuition and other fees) of GWU are slightly higher than that of Maryland. I was told by GWU that I would not be offered internal scholarship, but Maryland put me on the waitlist for merit-based funding. I'll email them to ask about my chance to get any funding later, but the overall price would probably turn out to be more affordable at Maryland than at GWU. In addition to the funding, the two points you mentioned are exactly my concerns. GWU's central location and connection with the US political world make me feel easier to find public-related work. Also the international reputation does matter to me because I'm a Chinese-American and very likely to work abroad in the future. In addition, the events and presentations that GWU held for their program after I was admitted unexpectedly impressed me and made me even more believe they have a really good network inside and outside the program. On the other hand, Maryland kind of disappointed me in their admissions process. It seems I'm leaning toward GWU right now. But I hope the picture would be clearer after I ask about my chance to get funding from Maryland. By the way, are you attending Georgetown MSPP this fall? They put me on the waitlist and said they will have an update on 25th. Still hoping I have chance to get in and all of this will just end! Thank you again for your reply!

Hi, everyone, I'm currently accepted to Mayland MPP and GWU MPP and couldn't decide which to go. They both have ideal location (GWU may be better in this regard), which makes me even harder to choose. I'm interested in environmental policy. Maryland MPP is strong at this as I know, but I also want to focus on the quantitative analysis skills when I study for a MPP, which seems Maryland is not so strong. On the other hand, GWU has the best location, the good career service and network. But the thing I don't like about GWU MPP is that most of their classes are at night. It doesn't make me feel I'm back to school. However many people say it is actually good for internships, but I'm not sure how are the opportunities there at this point. I'm really confused on making a decision now. I hope someone can give me some suggestion and more insights about these two schools. Thank you in advance!

The last day of March......still no news......

Hope they release the results this week too. Can't wait for another week

Anyone still waiting for the admission decision? Have no idea when they're gonna release the rest of admissions.

I'm still waiting too. They'll have second batch. We still have chance!!!

Hey! Any news from the department?

Hi, I sent several emails to Newsha too and got no reply! I think the only thing we can do is to wait...The results last year shows that some acceptances were submitted in the end of March. Hopefully we can get notifications next week...Anyway, we still have hope now... PS: You're from China??? Me too...but I'm in CA now...

Hi. I saw a few rejections from Stanford-Environmental Earth System Science dated the beginning of March in the result search, but I got nothing! I applied for the master's program. Is there anyone else waiting for this one too? Only rejections submitted in the result search. Does that mean the acceptances haven't gone out? I was rejected by three other schools so far! So stressful to wait this one out!
