    I just received Duke's scholarship notification this morning! I got 56,000 scholarship per year but I'll probably turn it down for Yale...

    Wow 56000 is massive. Congrats 

    I too got the mail just now and have been given 10k. So probably will turn down for Yale (30k)

    Any particular strong reason for turning down 56k for 20k by Yale as you had mentioned earlier

    I sent in my SPEA Indiana application just couple of weeks back. They extended the Feb 1 priority deadline to Feb 15. Also, do you all think Duke Nicholas is worth it if one has to take a loan to study. What is the ROI like ? I read that average salary is 65k (?). Is that a good salary/bad salary if you have to live in a city in US. Also, heard Durham is very cheap as a city to live in.  Is it true?

    Hello everyone 

    Can someone from US or a current student chime in on the loan burden aspect if we end by financing MEM courses ( from Yale or Duke) through study loans. 

    How difficult does it get to pay back the loan, how easy / difficult is for international students to get good opportunities post graduating in US and what is the average aid given by Yale

    Yale gives career outcomes without segregating program wise and also include joint mem/mba degrees. Do we have separate stats for MEM degrees? 

    Although both come under Stem, what is the current status on visa issues in Env field. I have been told that non stem degree grads face a lot of problems in getting work visa. 

    Also has there been affect of the job market in Env and energy field after Trump took office with his anti climate change attitude? 

    Looking for insights 

    Cheers

    I haven’t received anything yet and this is making me anxious. I’m only waiting on Yale FES and Bren right now and I’ve seen people receive admits to both schools already.

    Is it normal for decisions from one school  to go out gradually over a couple weeks? I would have thought that all decisions would go out at the same time. 

    I didn't apply to Bren but I am too waiting for update from Yale FES. There are no changes in my portal so I am hoping they might be releasing results in a staggered manner.

    Duke was my top choice, but I also applied to SPEA Indiana and SUNY Albany for Ecotoxicology. Was accepted at Indiana on Monday, and they projected aid packages to be offered in the coming months. However, from looking into what they’ve offered for aid in the past, I will not be surprised if it is less than Duke. 

    From the statistic I found, financial aid was ~30k per year. 

    Thanks a lot.. Average of 30k is very generous

    Thank you so much for this info. According to website though the number is 80% instead of 88%. Anyways, the important figure is the average package of $30k which is substantial. My focus is Energy and what I have gathered from this forum is that Energy is best at Duke. (even better than Yale FES). What other colleges/program did you apply to and what is your top choice? I got admit from SEAS Michigan and Duke. Awaiting Yale FES and SPEA Indiana (MPA/MSES). 

    Is the 30k per year or for the entire 2 years? 

    Completing Prerequisite courses (Calculus, Statistics) before Joining Grad School

    in Coursework, Advising, and Exams

    Posted

    Hello 

    I am a prospective MPA/MPP/M.Dev student and I have applied to a couple of policy and administration programs for the Fall 2019 session. My grades in my earlier education are not good especially in Statistics and Calculus. I am not too hopeful that I will be getting admits at good colleges this session as my essays were also not upto the mark.

    I am ready to put in serious efforts for the next year application cycle and I want to start with the prerequisite courses (Stats and Calculus). I was wondering where can I take such courses for which credit are accepted by colleges like HKS, WWS, Chicago, Sanford etc  (Coursera and eDx are not accepted as mentioned in the college websites). Although open to both online/offline,  my preference remains online courses as I am located in India.

    Please let me know

    Thanks
