AH! Congratulations! Two great choices.
I think I'm going to go the MPP route instead of the MPA with a policy focus. I also got into U Chicago Harris, GWU, USC Price, and Columbia SIPA. The money is drawing me away from NYC...
Thank you for your kind words congratulations to you for the admit! Did you hear from SIPA yet? (Saw above that you applied!)
I'm not sure if I should negotiate. I've heard that I shouldn't even attempt unless I plan on accepting. Other schools are giving more money so NYU is slipping from my priority list (It used to be my top choice). I'm going to try to visit some classes though since I won't be able to attend any of the admitted student events.
I contacted them and they said that it was for the whole year. So $5k each semester...which does not much in the grand scheme. But I thought it was 40+ annually? And the 22k was per semester?
Do you know how the voucher works? I've been calling the school multiple times a day but nobody is picking up. Since it's a week away I bit the bullet and booked everything but I really hope it'll be reimbursed somehow...
