The (un)official Duke Sanford MPP Thread!
fallmpp2017 replied to mppbluedevil13's topic in Government Affairs Forum
Wow really? I was hoping they would match another offer, but I guess that probably will not happen then. Thank you for sharing the info! -
Hope there are a ton of folks like you! Ironically, I am most likely going to GSPP now that I am wait listed at WWS, ha!
-
Okay so I've been digging through GradCafe and it looks like WWS has a 68% yield (percentage of people who accept their offer of admission) according to their annual report: http://wws.princeton.edu/about-wws/wws-annual-report So I am just crossing my fingers that a lot of people with a similar profile to mine defers or declines.
-
My thoughts exactly. Though I will keep my place on the wait list, I definitely am not getting my hopes up.
-
Just got waitlisted. Anyone know anything about WWS waitlist? How big it is, how likely it is to get off?
-
Crossing my fingers for today! But after that phone call with @Nasty Woman I wouldn't be surprised if they just wait till next week.
-
Thank you for calling! I really hope it's tomorrow then, not next week.
-
I hope so! I just want to be put out of my misery!
-
I really hope it comes out today! After being rejected from HKS, I have no hope for WWS and I just want to move on!
-
Rejected!
-
Thanks for the tip! That co-op looks amazing. I'm sure there's a lengthy waitlist though.
-
Losing hope for today. I feel like it'll be tomorrow too.

@mfmpp For an out of state student, how much debt do you think students will be in if they have a GSI / GSR position? I'm basing my guesses off the fee remissions site (http://grad.berkeley.edu/financial/fee-remissions/) and the fee schedule site (http://registrar.berkeley.edu/tuition-fees-residency/tuition-fees/fee-schedule#pubpol) but it seems like with even partial fee remission, tuition is semi-affordable.
-
I got accepted with no fellowship too. Goldman is definitely one of my top choices, so I am seriously considering it, especially with the opportunity to work for partial fee remission.
-
Waiiiiiiiiit how did you find out?!

Accepted with 26k fellowship + 4k assistantship. So glad we heard today! -
I am hoping this week. But on their website it does say decisions by March 15. I really hope it's not that late!
-
I'm losing hope for today. I am hoping for tomorrow.

This wait is killing me!!!
-
I'm done with all this waiting too. I just want to know. I hope it comes out early this week. Also, RE: funding-- I heard they are selective with their merit scholarships but if you do get them, they are quite generous. Otherwise, since it is a state school, it is not nearly as expensive as its private counterparts (e.g. HKS). Especially with in-state tuition in your second year.
-
Well on their admissions site it says Notification by March 15. Hopefully we do not have to wait that long, but that is what it says. http://wws.princeton.edu/admissions/mpa/application

Still waiting to hear back from other schools, but so far I got into Heinz with most of it covered, so Georgetown is out now haha!

I heard it was generous as well, especially if you're Americorps (they are guaranteed 14k + fellowship if accepted). I really hope we find out early next week! -
Mine changed too. I really hope it comes out early this week. I applied for MPP.

Hopes, Dreams, Guesses (2017 Gov. Affairs)
fallmpp2017 replied to sturdyelm's topic in Government Affairs Forum
Applied: Harvard Kennedy, Princeton WWS, Berkeley Goldman, Georgetown McCourt, Carnegie Mellon Heinz, and Duke Sanford Hopes: I get into one of the schools with 75%+ funding Dreams: To be accepted to WWS, but who is not dreaming of that? Guesses: Well so far, I got accepted to McCourt and Heinz, the latter with most of it funded. I am hoping to be accepted to WWS still, but again it's a pipe dream. Glad I got at least one acceptance with enough funding.
