Idk if it means anything, but I am a second time applicant (pretty sure I had no chance last time since I made it aware that I was going to defer for job reasons) but my portal just about 20 minutes ago changed order. It used to be last year then this year in order, and now its the other way around.....could mean nothing... 

where in the portal are you checking

Depends on what you want for financial aid

Doesn’t matter - it will just say financial aid information will be fourth coming - that usually comes the following Monday given the past few years

I wonder if some poor TA is sitting in their office with a burrito and a bottle of jack typing this up, under old timey conditions, janitor turned off the heat and they forgot thick socks....and a glass for the jack. Just typing these one by one......only explanation I have for the wait

Hahhaha I hope so but jokes apart how long can it take people to copy paste an email and just change the name ... sigh...

So nobody has heard from MPP? I think if we haven't heard accepted or denied then maybe tomorrow? Or none of us got in....

Yeah nothing yet.....

[Princeton SPIA MPA 2021]

I’ve never seen it happen that no one from gradcafe has gotten in ...

[Princeton SPIA MPA 2021]

I am getting so anxious waiting for the MPP results. I’ve looked on various pages on gradcafe and no one seems to have heard of the MPP decisions

[Princeton SPIA MPP 2021]

I haven’t heard anything yet

[Princeton SPIA MPP 2021]

Oh so very shortly! I wonder if there are a lot of mpp applicants this year - haven’t seen a lot of people posting about the mpp as compared to last year

[The 'Am I competitive' thread - READ ME BEFORE POSTING]

Hi everyone. I am interested in public policy and have just applied to the mid career program MPP at Princeton. Six years back in 2014 o had applied to a bunch of schools and had gotten in to uchicago , Cornell , umichigan for masters in public policy/public administration programs . Unfortunately I was not given very high funding so was unable to afford to go to these places . I am now again applying and this time to Princeton as the program is funded and I have greater experience . What are my chances in your opinion ?

thanks!

Ive gotten into NYU, Duke, Uchicago, Cornell and Georgetown so far but my hearts set on HKS. @decaf.....ive also applied to the mpp program at oxford, havent heard anything from them.surely not a good sign.
