I received my admissions email a few weeks ago, but no word on funding. I called the admissions office this morning and they said that they would be releasing the official offer letters "in the next week".

Thanks weksa! Has anyone heard when the admitted students weekend might be?

Same here, I received an acceptance email about a week and a half ago. Based on last year's responses it looks like it could be awhile before funding decisions are made.

I also applied to the MPP program at UMD-College Park. Do we know when we can expect to hear something/has anyone spoken with admissions staff?

I work in a nonprofit closely related to the field that I will be studying in grad school (full-time MPP), so it just made sense to notify and have my direct supervisor and our executive director write letters of recommendation. They have been very supportive. That said, I think it definitely had an impact on my end of year raise(or lack there of), since they have known since September 2015. Also, they have already opened my replacement position - it stipulates that they are looking for a June hire - ideally they want someone straight out of undergrad so posting now makes sense - but it still is pretty fucked up, in my opinion, especially considering that I am planning to stay in my position through July to maximize paychecks before I'm a broke graduate student. Thank goodness I've already gotten into some programs.
