  1. I was surprised as well. After my admission, I participated in the Admitted Student event, met with administrators and professors, and so on. There were a few subtle hints that they wanted me (where they assigned me to sit, alums approaching me, etc). But when it came down to it, they wouldn't offer anything more than half-tuition. Really don't get it. IMHO, $40,000 should be the sticker price for the program, not the "half tuition" price. Even $40k in debt is a tough sell when you're entering public service. I mean, the price is arbitrary anyway. What's the marginal cost of adding one additional student? Oh well. This is just the universe telling me USC isn't the right place for me--and that it didn't really want me.
  2. Well, just declined my admission to USC. They offered me half-tuition, which was disappointing considering my academics and work experience. Several folks on here received full tuition for less. I tried to get them to increase their offer, and they wouldn't. Graduated 4 years ago from a top-5 public university. GPA was 3.5 (3.8 my senior year); GRE was 169v/163q. 4 years of work experience in state and local government.
  3. Accepted to USC MPA by the online system. Received an email to check youSC at 1:45am 2/20. I had checked around 8pm 2/19 and it wasn't yet up. Letter was dated 2/18. Still awaiting the mailed letter with information on funding. Graduated 4 years ago from a top-5 public university. GPA was 3.5 (3.8 my senior year); GRE was 169v/163q. 4 years of work experience in state and local government.
  4. Awesome, and thanks! Congratulations again.
  5. Congratulations! I'm actually waiting on USC myself. Would you mind posting your GPA, GRE, and what sort/amount of work experience you have? We're all anxious, just want to get some more data points.
