Oh I see. Nope, I just applied for the regular MPA. Thanks for the info and congrats on your acceptance to a great program

Anybody know if this is for spring or fall 2020? Seems like a crazy fast turnaround if it's for fall--the EA deadline was November 1. EDIT: It looks like Early Action applicants are indeed notified around 6 weeks after submission. That's an awesome turnaround, I'm jealous of those folks! As for the rest of us, we'll have to wait until mid-March ?

Has everyone from the US gotten their emails? Curious if the spreadsheet is incomplete because people didn't fill out their status or if some people really haven't heard. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Cd86U9AreH9k_-WKLKnLCLn_C5MC3FKvZZ9RhlqSAq4/edit#gid=1535702113 Also: anyone else applying for renewable energy/sustainability work? I'm a little worried that the FFSB will look unkindly on renewables, given that it's a presidentially-appointed board. That said I looked into a few of the members and none of them strike me as overt climate deniers, so that's good.
