Oh wow that's all positives (besides the break ins haha)! What are you concentrating in? I applied with HCED but I'm also thinking of PPD and Smart Cities

What impressions have you gotten from Penn so far? Like curriculum, professors, research, location, etc!

Hi everyone! For those of you attending UPenn or heavily considering it, I made this thread for us if anyone wants to talk about the program or has any questions. Interesting to know what others are thinking about the program!

Hey y'all, figured I would make a thread for the people who are committing or seriously considering UPenn's MCP program for this fall! It would be nice to here everyones opinions and thought processes on the program!

Was told by a friend and current UCLA MURP student just now that Sean e-mailed them saying "all decisions have been sent out" so this is really annoying haha.

Y'all UCLA really has the audacity to make the next set of people wait two more weeks for an admissions decision lol. Anyone heard anything?

For folks who have yet to hear from UCLA, is there any updates? Or has anyone reached out? I e-mailed Sean on Monday and he said "you will hear a decision in the coming week" so I'm thinking it would mean today... but I can also see it meaning this coming Monday... any insight?

Is UCLA trickling out with admissions or did everyone hear at the same time?? Didn't hear anything and getting a bit worried!

UPenn financial aid packages just came out! In with 75% scholarship, pretty shook lol

Turned down UT Austin. But if anyone isn't going to UW, pls let them know soon lol. Probably going to USC for now

Congrats! Was it an e-mail or on the portal?

Hey! I haven't heard anything yet either. UW is also my first choice. I don't know why they haven't released everything yet haha looking at the past they are all sent on Feb 25-26 so this is gonna be super late.

Does anyone know when UW Seattle is coming out? I noticed that most MUP students hear back on the last half of the last week of February so I'm either hoping it is today or tomorrow. It also seems like a PhD student was accepted today!

Thanks! It was from Sarah. I think I may have heard back early because I was apart of PPIA if anyone knows what that it is. Because I see that I also got a scholarship from being in PPIA.

I received an e-mail from someone in the department. Portal isn't updated though.

In at USC with a half tuition scholarship!

In at UPenn!! Got an e-mail from the department chair of early admission!
