Oh wow. I received my unofficial notification March 2nd. They said that within 10 days I'd get my official notification from the Graduate School. When you received your scholarship prompt, was it from the Graduate School or GPPI?

Congratulations! What is your planned area of concentration?

Uh oh...I didn't receive an email. I won't give up just yet. Is that $15,000 for the first year? (I'm so spoiled by Heinz giving scholarships per semester...) @_@

Hello all, I received my acceptance packet last week and am seriously considering UCLA (I live in Los Angeles). I applied to UCLA because their M.P.P. program, though smaller than many, is pretty well-respected and has an international policy concentration that is more robust than others (Ford and GPPI also look very strong). Having graduated from a large UC, I would say that for undergraduates outside of engineering and business, career help is slim-to-none. I do not know if this is necessarily true for graduate students. A large part of getting help will undoubtedly come from Professors and other faculty. If you can effectively utilize these resources, I believe you have a good chance at finding avenues for placement/employment. Of course, if you are looking for a vast, built-in network (the Trojan and Georgetown networks come to mind), you may want consider those schools.

I was also admitted to the full-time program. I received an email on the 2nd saying that I would receive an official letter (hopefully with a funding decision) within 10 days. So...any day now? *Hoping for funding*

Hi everyone, I also got into Heinz with a sizable scholarship (Pittsburgh track). So far I am deciding between GPPI (maybe funding), Heinz, and UCLA (no funding, but I am local). I posted this in the other Heinz thread, so I hope people don't mind: My planned area of concentration is international policy. I don't plan on being a consultant or anything...my dream job would be a researcher or analyst at a policy think tank (with a position at an international organization a close second). Is anyone else considering Heinz and international policy?

Congratulations, everyone! I was also accepted to Heinz (Pittsburgh track) with funding. I am looking to focus on international policy (perhaps the use of technology in this field) and was wondering if anyone was in the same boat and considering Heinz. I also hear that it is still possible to do the D.C. track once you matriculate into the program...something I am considering...
