@urban_app_1111 we need to make a decision on deferral by 7/15, by which point we will hopefully have a clearer idea of what fall 2020 will look like. From the general discussion I've seen among admitted students so far, it seems like plenty of people are leaning towards deferring to fall 2021... but I have no clue what that would mean for their unfilled seats in the fall 2020 cohort. I genuinely don't think the department will be able to make that call for a bit. Congrats on the UCs and I hope everything works out!

For posterity, wanted to share that I accepted at MIT with a 75% tuition scholarship and paid research assistantship w/ healthcare. DUSP is offering admitted students the opportunity to defer enrollment to Fall 2021, given the uncertainty about what Fall 2020 will look like - I certainly appreciate the flexibility (especially when GSD is not offering deferral...) and will be waiting a couple more months to decide in the hopes that the COVID-19 situation improves. In the meantime, *fingers crossed* that my declines offer up some spots for those on the waitlists. Best of luck to everyone (and all those in the future reading this)!

Update: In at UCLA! Incredibly fortunate to have many options to weigh now. I hope some of my declines go to folks on waitlists!

Call from DUSP professor today - in at MIT!!!

Update: in at Harvard and Rutgers

Congratulations on GSD @mcasey24! Here's hoping we all hear back with some good news soon.

Anyone on here happen to be the person reporting an acceptance call from MIT? I do find it odd that the call would be made on a Sunday... but I'm mostly just anxious about hearing back.

@dino515 HCED for me

Congrats @allig8r! I'm also in at Berkeley for the MCP program!

Sorry about Cal @jlc816 ? But congrats on USC with funding!

I must admit, the anticipation is already starting to get to me... March seems so far away! Good luck everyone!

Hi fellow urbanists! Not sure if this will catch on, but I wanted to see if there might be interest in providing application stats and then results once they're released? I noticed that past iterations of this forum haven't include stats, but I'm hoping this will be useful, if not for us current applicants, then hopefully any future MURP/MCP/MUP applicants. Obviously feel free to tailor this template. Best of luck to all!
