  1. Im heading there. Already accepted my decision and applied for my I20 (I am from India). I know the program is fresh but the flexibility on offer is incomparable. One has ample freedom in taking all kinds of course from the reputed schools in Cornell. Plus the institute is working very hard on its reputation and spending loads of money, which is always a good sign.

  3. I accepted my admission to CIPA... so if any of you have confirmed i'll be seeing you in Ithacca in August. Also if anyone is figuring out housing etc please do contact me... ritwickg(at)hotmail(dot)com
  4. yes i did... i got my admission letter already, am trying to figure out my funding options now
  5. Does anyone know about PhD programs in Public Policy? I noticed that the major schools like HKS, WWS and Harris have it but it seems very very competitive. Any ideas about some less competitive programs? I am interested in urban and environmental policy but the major schools seem quite a stretch with my background. Also does one need a masters to apply? Any observations on this will be very helpful.
  6. No i didnt apply, but i didnt end up going last year. I am quite keen on applying for the fall 2011 intake. I am mostly concerned about the scholarships and the international outlook of the program (since i am from india)
  7. Has anyone applied for the fulbright scholarship to study in the US? I am from India and am not sure what their selection criteria is ... anyone got any ideas about this

Strength of LOR's (be honest, describe the process, etc): 2 of them were quite strong. the third was a little weaker but i cant say for sure
  9. I was considering applying to the International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University. They also have a MPP program at the Mundus MAPP. Does anyknow how the school is - ranking, flexibility, career prospects etc.
  10. Congrats DCApplicant... glad you have made your decision. i'm still undecided between CIPA and JHU IPS, i'm leaning more toward CIPA because it has the cornell brand name and its a more flexible program... but i've heard the research opportunities at JHU are better and easier to procur while they are almost non existant for masters students at CIPA... i really need to make the call soon.
  11. My line of thinking is similar to 'Green Tea'. I am comparing it to the Cornell CIPA program which is turning out to be somewhat cheaper. I check the forum chains on JHU IPS for last year... It does sound very enticing!
  12. Your not the only one... im still waiting. I emailed them during the week to inquire and they said there were some issues regarding the receipt of my ETS scores. They also said all decisions will be send by the end of this week. There is still hope.
