If you're interested in the public sector, choose WWS (and join me there - I'm in the incoming mid-career MPP class!). WWS is all about public sector careers, and that's precisely why they provide a full scholarship to all MPPs and MPAs. The overall class size as well as individual class sizes are significantly smaller than HKS, so there's a lot more faculty interaction. In addition, Princeton doesn't have other large professional schools like Harvard (HBS, HLS), so there really is extra attention (and resources) on the WWS students, including career mentoring. It's true that Princeton is in the suburbs while Harvard is at Boston's doorstep, but in both cases you will still be in the college bubble. I went to Harvard for undergrad and very rarely made it to Boston. Plus, Philadelphia and New York are still very close to Princeton (45 minutes / 1 hour respectively). If you really can't make a decision, go to both schools' Admitted Students Weekend and then follow your gut feeling.

Yes, I got admitted into the MIPP program today, but with only a scholarship of $10,000. I will be enrolling at WWS with full funding.

Yes, same here. WWS all the way. MC/MPA admit and CPL finalist who got no funding in the end - just loans. I've emailed my HKS financial aid counselor regarding my WWS offer, but I'm not expecting that Harvard will match anything. Harvard was very generous to me as an undergrad, so I'm not going to hate on it. Unfortunately the professional schools are clearly a different model when it comes to financial aid and scholarships.

I got my formal acceptance email at 10:09AM EST for WWS - so a few minutes ago. The title of the email is "Princeton University Graduate School Admission Decision." This is supplementing the informal YES email I received yesterday. I can assure you it's not spam, although I will add I applied for mid-career MPP, not MPA.

Hey all. I posted yesterday about my informal YES email for the MPP, but I just want to advise that I also got the formal notification email from the Dean of the Graduate School four minutes ago. I suppose the official results should be coming out right now to everybody.

Hey guys. I've been following this thread for a few weeks now but this is my first post on GradCafe. Anyway, just wanted to report that I also got the YES email from the Director of Graduate Admissions at 1:58pm EST. I applied for the mid-career MPP. I'm still waiting to hear back from HKS though regarding a potential CPL fellowship. If I get into HKS, then I'll make a final decision after attending both schools' Admit Days. Good luck to all of you still waiting for results!
