    Hey-- I am a current MSCAPP student. First off, if you are looking for a program that is more geared towards a non-academic career, then MSCAPP and MSPPM-DA are far better choices than QMSS and MACSS. In fact programs like MACSS, MAPSS, QMSS, are marketed as PhD "prep" programs. I think if you'd like broader training and flexibility in policy studies, but also interested in spatial analysis, I think that MSCAPP and MSPPM-DA are pretty superior to those other programs. But, if you are looking for a more focused program in urban planning then I don't think those are the programs for you.

    Hey! Im a MS-CAPP student at Harris. What programs are you applying to?
  3. Mr. Jameson
    I actually ended up choosing Harris MPP. They gave me way more funding than Columbia and Berkeley so I couldn't justify another choice. I am hoping that I have the same opportunities in development doing an MPP since Harris has some amazing economists on staff. But good to hear about your decision-- I dont think you could go wrong with either choice.

    I got an email that there was an update to my portal
  5. Mr. Jameson
    I just heard back. I was able to go from 20k per year to 30k per year, which now makes Harris the program I am choosing!

    I don’t know how it fulfills requirements for a phd in Econ (I majored in Econ and math in undergrad so I don’t really need additional math/quant training). I’m really interested in the Berkeley ARE phd program and I like the idea of getting to work with those faculty, take graduate level economics courses and courses in the law school, and then doing research with faculty I admire. It also seems that the second year is very open in the MDP and you really have access to all of the graduate departments at Berkeley and can really study whatever you’re interested in. Which for me would be development economics

    Hello! I was accepted into the MDP at Berkeley and the MPA-DP at Columbia too. im actually leaning towards Berkeley (not only because financial reasons) because It seems to me their curriculum is a little more academic focused. The mpa-dp seems to be a little more management focused. I like that the MDP at Berkeley has a thesis and a little more broad with the amount of classes you can take and subject you specialize in. I’m also from California and have been looking for a reason to move back to the Bay Area. Because I want to leave the option open for a phd later down the line, I like the Berkeley academic focus and research potential.

    If you’re interested in security, Georgetown is definitely the top for all those options. In general, the MSFS is the strongest IR program
  9. Mr. Jameson
    Same here unfortunately
  10. Mr. Jameson
    hey everyone-- I was accepted into the MPA-DP during the early admission round. Good luck with everyone in this group waiting-- im hopeful for all of you!
  11. Mr. Jameson
    Question-- Did you fill out the FAFSA or some other application before hand? Just trying to guage if I am going to get any funding from SIPA at all or
  12. Mr. Jameson
    Yeah there’s still hope. I got into Harris last month and it’s looking more likely than SIPA rn because they actually gave me a scholarship and I have no idea what the financial situation is for SIPA
  13. Mr. Jameson
    The good news is if there was not a chance they would have just rejected you not deferred
  14. Mr. Jameson
    What fellowship did you get
  15. Mr. Jameson
    Just got accepted for the MPA-DP. There was no information on funding though. DId anyone else get a financial award?
  16. Mr. Jameson
    I am a middle school teacher and have been accepted to Fletcher (MALD) and Harris (MPP). I think it is fine if your experience is not in policy as long as you can use it to craft a narrative about yourself.
  17. Mr. Jameson
    Based on when people have been accepted in the last few years it seems so
  18. Mr. Jameson
    Reading this forum for the last few years it looks like people start getting decisions in mid December
  19. Mr. Jameson
    Hey Ill join you guys here. Waiting for the MPA-DP.
  20. Mr. Jameson
    If you go to the portal and click on your update it should be at the bottom of the page
  21. Mr. Jameson
    Its 20k per year for both years as long as I meet the requirement
  22. Mr. Jameson
    Hey all— didn’t get in to the MACRM (slightly disappointed) but was accepted for the MPP with 20k scholarship. I’m mixed feelings because I really was looking for opportunities to do more research so I’m going to find out more about if MPP students are working as RAs since I’m probably gonna need a job to afford the program anyway
  23. Mr. Jameson
    Congratulations! I hope my luck can be as good as yours!
  24. Mr. Jameson
    I’m basically constantly checking Harris twitter to see if they say something
  25. Mr. Jameson
    I hope you get in! The MAIDP program looks awesome-- especially if youre an Obama Scholar. Did you apply to any other programs?
