Interesting to hear you got a letter but no change on the website. I am not sure if these sites change until the Dean approves it all...

Do most MPA programs look at overall GPA or upper level GPA more?

Yeah, did you attend any visitation days? I went and watched a class an referenced that in my essay of why I want to go there, hoping it earns points. I do no incomplete packets are not counted in the number they look at.

I am glad to see everyone is going nuts. UT Austin seems to be a 50/50 admit school... just wonder who they do and don't admit and why.. Yep, this could make a person go insane easily. Thank God I am not going for a Phd!

Anyone work full time in the field while in a good grad school? How does it work out?

I have a friend at LBJ who asked a member of admissions who said they will be sending out the first letters in the next couple of weeks. I wonder if the email will go out before our status page changes... I am a border line. I had a bad first year in undergrad, but 3.78 upper level gpa, 4.0 in one semester of grad at Texas State... GRE is a little below their average, but I got a 6.0 on the writing when the average writing at LBJ is 4.3, so that is a wash... good recommendations by three professors and military experience and a clear vision of where I want to go... so.. I am figuring 40% chance I got in,20% I am on the new wait list, 40% I did not. I also sent my materials all in by September... so I should be one of the first to find out. I wonder when the reject letters start.. same time?

I applied to MPAFF at UT Austin, nothing yet.. They decide by the week.. wish I knew one way or the other. From what I can tell they don't tell anyone until March.

I applied to UT Austin. I know that the email said they accept in March, but they accept on a rolling basis.. just curious if anyone had heard anything on their applications of if nobody hears until March...
