Minnesota Humphrey 2017

@VeryCheesey I did not end up attending Humphrey. I ended up choosing Harris over Humphrey and a couple other schools I was considering at the time. Harris was the most aligned with my interests and career goals. I did however learn a lot from talking to current students at Humphrey and also current students at other schools I was considering so I would definitely recommend that as you decide what school is best for you. Best of luck!

@VeryCheesey When I was making my decision last year regarding this program I reached out to admissions to ask if they could connect me with a current student and that helped a lot. Seems as not many people on here know much about the program but I recommend you do that if you're still searching to learn more about Humphrey.

@LizaBee they have a form you can fill out to request additional funding. They included it in one of the emails they sent out. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeaUwA0F3U3wkv4-D8lVmoiC27fZhMFWP6sLBAvRuP9bwBpVg/viewform Thats the link to it. Hope it works. Best of luck!

@gradblues Bummer, I can't make it either. I'm curious to hear what people who visited thought about the program after their visit.

Did you by any attend the spring visit this weekend or are planning to attend next weekend?

Has anyone successfully negotiated a higher scholarship? I'm curious how much they usually go up from the initial offer.

Hey Everyone! So I haven't seen a topic for the Humphrey School at the University of Minnesota and I'm curious to learn more about this program. I applied to their MPP program for this upcoming fall and was recently offered about 90% funding but I don't know much about the program or what current students think about the program. How well known is the program and where do alumni end up working. I've visited Minneapolis before and loved the city, just don't know a lot about UMinnesota. I wasn't expecting to get this much funding from them but now I am really considering this program after the amount of funding I was offered. Right now I am trying to decide between Harris, Ford and now Humphrey. I'm not about to go their their visit days, which is unfortunate. Has anyone on here visited the school?
-
Same here. Its a bummer, but best of luck to everyone who got in!

I think it's more likely that we get decisions sometime next week, but hopefully sometime this week.

I agree with you. I have also had great communication with Harris so I can't complain about that. I did really like that all the admitted students I spoke with were very easy to talk to and very interested in myself and my background. That was awesome. It was very relieving to hear from current students that the quant aspect of the program is not as intimidating as it seems. I know the Pearson Institute was a big focus of the event but I would have also liked to learn about other research centers at UChicago that student get involved with like the Urban Labs, NORC or Chapin Hall just to name a few.

Did anyone sit in on one of the classes today? I was supposed to go but I was unable to last minute. I'm curious what people's thoughts were on the classes they attended. Also there was a "Get To Know Harris" event today too. I'm curious what that was about.
-
My decision is going to come down to either Ford or Harris so I'm hoping Michigan sends out decisions soon!

Hello everyone, I'm considering applying to UW-Milwaukee for graduate school. Can any current students or Milwaukee residents tell me about the University. I don't really know anything about the school. Also what is life in Milwaukee like. I've been told that parts of Milwaukee surrounding the University can be very dangerous. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I'm applying a number of different master's in criminology and master's in public policy programs and I noticed that a lot of them ask if I plan or hope to continue on for a Phd in the future. What is the point of this question? I'm not too sure if I plan on continuing on for a Phd. I have considered that possibility but I am still just unsure if that is a route I will take. Should I answer yes to this question? Will it affect my application in any way if I say no? I'm just really curious to learn the reasoning behind asking this to applicants. Thanks!

@AspiringScholarPhD You know I currently work with someone who is working on her doctorate at UCin's program and she's told me a lot of good things about the Criminology program there. It has actually emerged as one of my top choices as well! If I had to choose between UCin and NEU, I am not sure what I would choose. If I had to choose today, I would probably go with UCin. I actually take the GRE tomorrow. I'm super nervous about it. My Powerprep practice exam scores have not been super convincing and I have spent a lot of time prepping for it. I'm just hoping for the best.
