Is there a list of schools that participate in dual degree with SIPA?
-
FYI, here is the link to the financial aid reconsideration request form: https://apply.sipa.columbia.edu/register/awardappeal. I received an email today stating that all aid has been offered, and that reconsideration requests will be considered after April 15. Most programs require commitment on April 15, so the appeal process may not be useful.
-
I never received an email. Just check the portal. If nothing's there, you should email and ask.
-
I sent an email saying I received other fellowships and asking if there's a way to be reconsidered. I will post their response next week.
-
I think it's highly unlikely since you didn't submit by their deadline. A deadline is a deadline, even if it is earlier than other schools. You can definitely ask if you want, but I imagine you'll just receive an email saying you should've submitted earlier.
-
Let me know what happens. Victoria was the administrator I was speaking to as well about increased aid.
-
Yeah, I can always brag that I was admitted to the Ivy League and said no thanks.
-
Well, that’s a wrap then. In with no aid is as good as a rejection. Hope my spot can go to someone on the waitlist.
-
Same for me. Just that sentence.
-
A previous poster said early admits didn't receive funding decisions at that time. My guess is we received the same letter and then a new letter will be sent to everyone about financial aid later.
-
It's concerning that there's no mention.
-
It's out. I'm in!!! No word on funding in the letter though.
-
It's possible the wait list could be expanded. The institutions want to protect their yield, and many candidates that would otherwise accept might attempt to defer a year instead because of the pandemic. It's all speculation, and I have no idea how it could be determined whether a qualified applicant is a risk to accept or not.
-
Yes, I am a DC applicant.
-
It should be at the top. If you don't see that, email the SAIS Financial Aid Office.
-
It's in your application portal.
-
Yes, I am definitely considering it. I have a stable job at a university and may try to defer admission if things don't settle down by the fall. Every hour brings new updates, so I don't know when I'd make a decision.
-
Princeton WWS released yesterday and today, but Harvard HKS is pushed back to next week. Still hopeful for today based on the email about current students contacting us.
-
FYI, the Financial Aid Reconsideration Request form is now available in the application portal. It is due on April 3.
-
Let me know what they say!
-
Well that is wonderful news. Finally some sort of date!
-
Either. You would explain your situation in the form. Most need-based financial aid is loans though.

Well it could be argued that mid March could be any day that isn’t early March or late March. What constitutes any of those periods is up to the author. They played their cards right by being intentionally vague.
-
@spnfiim said an MPA-EPM result was released yesterday and that results should be released today. I'm not holding out hope though. COVID-19 has thrown everything off. Hope I'm proved wrong.
