I am getting so anxious waiting for the MPP results. I’ve looked on various pages on gradcafe and no one seems to have heard of the MPP decisions
Is it possible that no MPP candidates in GradCafe got in? Afterall they only accept 20 students per year... if I don't hear back by by 8 pm est I'm gonna call it a day.

Who in here are waiting on MPP decisions?
-
I think they released MPA and MPP decisions simultaneously in prior years....the wait is excruciatingly painful

Anyone hear back for MPP? It seems MPA results are out but I have not seen anyone in the MPP program get in yet....

Any MPP admits?

Does anyone know if they also send snail mail acceptance packages?

Just now, TMRII said:
how are "unofficial" decisions given usually? telephone/email? And what is the purpose of them giving an unofficial the day before the official? Just seems like extra work
Can't speak of the purpose but unofficial decisions have been sent via email for MPA/MPP and phone calls for PhDs.... it also looks like PhDs got their results last thurs!

I can't speak to the MA (POLS) side, but I will speak t the MPP side. Stanford MPP is known as the ultimate example off a great university with a not so great policy program (the other being Cornell's Policy program). Even within California, Stanford MPP is not seen as one of the big players in the policy space among the policy schools (the big ones Cal-Goldman, USC - Price, UCLA - Luskin, and UCSD. Stanford MPP is simply is underinvested + under structured and those within the politics/IR space in Stanford (as PhDs) have informed me as such. I have never encountered a Stanford MPP in any professional setting or even heard of them matriculating into any role in the policy space (granted my experience comes from DC, but everyone goes to DC).
As for joint degrees, unless you have a really particular career track in mind that necessitates both degrees (classic example are MDs who get their MPH to focus on public health oriented medicine or JDs who get an MBA to have an advantage in corporate financial matters) and are really intentional about it throughout the entire recruiting/academic process, you truly derive your economic value from one degree and the other degree is for fun.
I was thinking about applying to this program but from what I read it's only available to Stanford undergraduates or alumni, or those students who are partaking in joint programs at another Stanford professional school... here's what the website says:
"The MPP is available to current Stanford seniors and graduate students, Stanford alumni (who have graduated within the past 5 years), and external applicants seeking a joint degree. The MA is available to current Stanford graduate students."

Oh so very shortly! I wonder if there are a lot of mpp applicants this year - haven’t seen a lot of people posting about the mpp as compared to last year
Admissions office said they had increase in applicants all around, including MPP. It's going to be very tough to get in.

Their website says 12-15% acceptance rate! That's with a normal year though... applications are up at all prestigious universities!
Where did you find this number? Can you share the link?

Do you guys think fall 2021 will have remote-option for those who are concerned with COVID?

Sorry if this is known to the most - what's the difference between unofficial and official? Thank you!
They usually send out an "unofficial acceptance" email prior to releasing the official result, which includes financial info, on the portal.

Hi everyone ,
Any idea when we should expect to hear back for the MPP program ?
Based on previous years, I'm guessing 3/12 for unofficial and 3/14 or 15 for official

You can get into GHD easy... as for Harvard MPP and SPIA - it depends on how diverse you are compared to other applicants this year. This is rough year though!
Why is it a rough year? Because of the increase in applicants?

Does anyone know how Princeton awards the living stipend aid?

I know Princeton is fully funded but does anyone know how the living stipend works? How they determine how much to give out?

Last year results came in after 10pm... I guess there's still hope?
