Hahaha great. Thanks for sharing!
-
Thanks for the feedback. Seems pretty set in stone. I received 20k/yr but that's nowhere close to what I would like. Did you mention funding offers at other places if that was applicable?
-
Has anyone heard of them offering more funding after the initial FinAid decisions?
-
Thanks for the feedback. Not in an obnoxious way, but I'm trying to weigh it because I'm making over 100k at 24 so I'm thinking the loans aren't a huge deal, but if I go into PS (which is what I intend) then that will likely change, so I'm also trying to figure out what's a reasonable loan obligation to plan for when I'm 26.

Can you expand on why? HKS seems like a stronger brand if I ever want to leave the policy space (I want to go into policy now but am coming from a private sector background, if that helps).

Struggling to decide between a potential full ride at Georgetown (scholarship still tbd, but in the running) and 50k at HKS, which would mean sizeable loans (60k+ including living expenses). HKS is obviously well-known, but the class size is huge. At SIPA and SAIS, that seems to have diluted the experience in recent years. Any commentary on whether the 225 person MPP program feels too big?

Nice! I work in cyber and applied too but want to do policy post-grad rather than enterprise security for some agency - do you know if this is a possibility given the job requirements?
-
Did anyone else apply to the CyberCorps Fellowship (100% tuition waived at Georgetown/Hopkins/other schools + $30,000 living stipend + $4000 travel stipend + health insurance +$1000 book stipend annually)? Do you know anyone who did the program and started working?
-
No mine didn't, which I'm assuming means no funding. Seems out of the question if that's the case.
-
Did anyone get funding for Stanford/know if they only offer financial aid through loans?
-
Yep MPA! The person I spoke with seemed very confident it would be "early this upcoming week" (said last week). He mentioned they were the only people in the building due to the Noreaster but had to come in because the deadline was so soon.

Have been watching this thread for a while - as an FYI, I had my fellowship interview Friday. The executive director of the fellowship said admissions and aid decisions would be out this Mon, Tues, or Weds.
