Hi! I am having trouble deciding between McCourt MPP and SIPA MPA. I am international, interested in health policy, social policy, specifically in implementation of projects, not research. The cost of both programs is similar with the scholarships. About McCourt: There is a field of public health in the electives. I love the city. Planning to stay the opt year, so I will have several opportunities to find a good internship + job that year. Have family in Virginia. No problem with quants. Few internationals About SIPA: I prefer this curriculum, more options for specializations, though there is not one of public health. More international network. BUT the cost is too high, I am going with my family. I don't like to pay more only for the brand. Does SIPA worth it? It's been weeks thinking about it! Already dismissed Chicago because of weather and quants, am I wrong??

I haven't heard back either. I think it is weird as other people received updates last week

Any news about MPP results?

Accepted!! With 19k for the first year. But nothing about the second year. Do you know if it is renewable?

Accepted into the MPA. Sooo happy!! But no words about funding. International, no GRE. Good luck everyone!

I received the email as well. Very weird indeed. It didn't feel like decisions were ready to be released. Anyway, mid dec is almost here.

Just received an email from the Financial Aid Office to go to a link to accept the funding offer. It is the same amount, didn't increase a dollar. Compared to the estimated amount for the first year, it is very little. Does anybody knows if it could increase later?

Every new email notification is like a little heart attack ?

My top choice sent me the rejection email this morning. This is my second, so I am pretty anxious.

Got the rejection earlier. Disappointed

Also rejected. Not so surprise as I am international, but there was hope. Congrats to all who got in!

I thought we all were MPA applicants. Anyway, at this point I am feeling very exhausted.

any news? Haven't received anything yet

I guess we only have to wait few more hours

I had already told my mind that monday was going to be THE DAY, so anxiety was pretty controlled. But crazy now. Let's see
