  1. I'm with you econister, I got a fellowship for 10K but their tuition is really steep. Berkeley (GSPP, MPP program) gave me the same but it's sooooo much cheaper in comparison because it's not a private school...
  2. In but no funding... staying in the Midwest would be nice but I don't think I can justify spending so much, especially when Berkeley gave me money... we shall see!
  3. Accepted!! Really hoping that I get some financial aid though I doubt it... I'm still debating whether I should get an MA in IR or an MPP... decisions decisions!
  4. Nice, I'm officially going as well... guess I should rsvp since I do have my tickets
  5. wow well took forever but found out that I got waitlisted... sad day! I can't even turn in my waitlist response cuz the system is so overloaded... they really should just stick to email and not to that online system. oh well! now I wait... haha
  6. lol of course, considering I was just on the other side of that equation! I got the big envelope in the mail today- and I applied sometime in January as well. Honestly, I was nervous to be applying to grad school this year since every program is so adamant about work experience, and I don't have much of it (less than a year as a research assistant). I graduated last year from a top national university (I think it's ranked somewhere around 10-13) with a strong GPA (nothing too crazy). I was involved in several clubs and outside activities, and scored over 1400 on the GRE. So for all of you that are young and applying there's definitely hope!! Best of luck to all of you! edit: oops forgot to add in about funding- I somehow got some award which covers 18 credits of tuition remission and a stipend as well, if I work 20 hours/week- definitely did not expect to get any money so it's definitely a good option!
  7. Congrats, that's great! I just got mine today- for the International Peace & Conflict Resolution program. I wish the other DC schools would start sending their decisions too- all I've gotten from Elliott has been stuff about them being closed because of the snow and then today something about checking to see if my name was spelled correctly- are you kidding?! haha I haven't heard anything from SAIS or MSFS yet but I guess it's still early...
  8. Hm no I think it's 10,000 to help cover living expenses for the first year but if I go then I'll definitely establish residency to drop the costs for the following year but wow ya they could have made that a lot clearer for you As far as the 7th, I think I will be heading up there for it. You?
  9. Wow that's so exciting! Congrats on getting in with all that funding! I think they are covering my living costs which is happy since I'm out of state- makes the program even more appealing
  10. Well I guess this one was from the admissions committee, not the graduate school exactly- it basically says congrats but then says that the official letter from the school "will follow shortly." Anyhow, mine just came today so hopefully you'll hear back soon!! Good luck!
  11. Sorry to hear that but good luck to all of you with the rest of your applications!! They'll go better hmm so I got a letter from Berkeley but apparently it's still not the official letter- has anyone gotten that yet?
  12. ah I got waitlisted at SIPA too! I searched a bit on their blog to see if they had the old post about how the waitlist works for them- so here's the link in case you're interested http://rtl.lamp.colu...ration-at-sipa/ Anyway, I applied to two MPP programs and the rest were IR ones... it'll be nice to hear back from the others!
  13. just got back home (to Chicago) and I don't have anything here still- s l o w mail!
  14. Hey all, So I just registered for this today- I applied to a few programs- mainly master's programs in international affairs, but also to two MPP ones- Berkeley and UChicago (Harris). I got an email from Jalilah LaBrie March 3rd- I got accepted to GSPP! I'm so excited! I'm out of town til tonight so I'm not sure if I have received word by mail yet, but I'll update once I check the mailbox. I think maybe Berkeley is emailing the people that are invited to the diversity dinner next month? That might be why many didn't receive an email- so hold tight, and hopefully you will receive word soon!!... I dunno why they wouldn't just email everyone when snail mail is clearly called that for a reason... Good luck to everyone!!!
