I'm going up for admit day in April, but it's currently ranked 3rd in my mind. So, unless something magical happens, I won't be going and hopefully my fellowship will get offered to someone else.

You should talk to current/alumni from Goldman and get their opinion. I know a few... PM me and I'll connect you. Also, from what I understand, USC does a phenomenal job at connecting their students with jobs through their alumni network. If you're thinking of going back to LA, getting a degree from USC debt free would be my first choice.

I received my letter today (Monday 3/13) in the mail.
-
Awesome. I'll look into it tonight and try to figure out logistics. I'll post on here and I'll pm you with details. If it's feasible and easier, then I'll post on here and see if anyone else is interested.

For those who got into both HKS and WWS ( @Palolem and @Nasty Woman) - Are you going to both admit weekends? If so, how are you planning on going from HKS to WWS? I'm coming from the west coast and am not sure if I should fly or rent a car and drive down. Thoughts?

I got an email for the Sheila C. Johnson Fellowship.
-
MPA as well. Thanks!
-
Portal has not changed for me. Just received an email from Melissa Lyles saying I was accepted. Another email from the Dean and financial aid package will be sent out in the next few days...There's also a link to a google forum where you can connect with other admits. It seems a bit crazy, but given the size of the program, they may be sending them out one by one..
-
Accepted!
-
No email yet. CHECK THE PORTAL!!!!!!!
-
Yeah. It's back up on my page. it's happening...
-
I hope we get these decisions soon. I spoke to a friend and recent HKS alum, and he said that we would be hearing back next week. Hope he's wrong.
-
Just declined their offer. Can't pass up full tuition offer at another school.
-
It may be past HKS' regular time to release admissions. However, I was accepted to the Harvard Graduate School of Design last week. I got a call from a professor at 5:30pm eastern (2/28), and they released the official decision at around the same time on Thursday (3/2). I think most people had given up waiting because it was after 'working hours', but they still came out. Unfortunately, this means I'll be checking my email for the rest of the day...

@Obecalp! Congrats!
-
Accepted! And, full tuition fellowship + stipend!
-
My bad... last year's results came out March 8 - a Tuesday. It was the second Tuesday, but tomorrow would be the first. So far, the schools I've gotten notifications from have sent me the decision letters on or before the first day they released letters last year...
-
Same here! Hoping it follows last year's trend.
-
My immediate answer is yes. The letter on the online portal just said I was admitted. I then received a packet (same day as when I received the notification that my status had changed) which had an additional letter explaining my fellowship. If you received your packet and did not get a letter outlining any fellowship/scholarship given, then I would assume you did not get anything. Of course, emailing the contact given would be the best way to be 100% certain. They usually respond pretty quickly. Best of luck!

Fall 2017 Planning Application Cycle
coffeebean13 replied to rebtrue's topic in Architecture and Planning Forum
@misagald, my award specifically says that I have been a awarded a monthly stipend at XXXX over the academic year. The amount is monthly. I'm looking more favorably at GSD - they offered me full tuition (not sure how that happened, but I'm definitely not complaining). Still waiting on those policies schools though. -

Thanks! And sorry to hear about MIT, best of luck at Columbia! I also applied to the HCED, but got a call from Ezra Haber, also in the HCED. @misagald, what was your funding package? I got an assistantship for half tuition... -

Awesome! Congrats on GSD and Columbia! MIT shouldn't be too long. Hopefully you'll hear some more good news before the weekend! -
Fall 2017 Planning Application Cycle

Actually, just looked at my call log. I got a call from GSD around 6:30pm EST, so there may still be time for them to send out their emails today. -
Fall 2017 Planning Application Cycle

Thanks! And, not yet. I have two issues: 1) Cost - The MIT person said that they did not have access to financial aid and that it would come separately in the next few days. The GSD person said I received a fellowship, but no indication as to how much. It was also the first call I received and was too much in shock to ask. She said they would be releasing the email with all the details on 3/2, but it's getting late... 2) I would prefer to do an MPP program. I won't hear back from them until next week. I did apply to HKS, so I'm hoping that I can get in and do a dual degree with the MUP. If I don't get into any of my top choices, I may consider doing a Planning program on its own. I won't have the full picture until next week.
