Speaking of McCourt, looks like someone posted an admissions result for the MPP that they say they received today. I haven't heard a thing -- do we have a sense that they trickle in? I didn't think it was a rolling decision situation with them.
Obviously, I am with those of you who are going a little batty ha
That person applied early decision in December and heard back in mid-January of their acceptance. I applied on the Jan 15 deadline and haven't heard anything yet, but fingers crossed for news (and money) soon!

I got the same email and have also heard nothing. I did receive an acceptance email to Duke's Nicholas school for their MEM program (I'm applying dual degree) last week, but with no info about funding attached.

Program Applied To (MPA, MPP, IR, etc.): MPP, MPA
Schools Applied To: Chicago Harris, Princeton SPIA, UT LBJ, Georgetown McCourt
Schools Admitted To: McCourt ($), Harris ($$), LBJ (In-state)
Schools Rejected From: None yet
Still Waiting: SPIA
Undergraduate Institution: Small Liberal Arts School
Undergraduate GPA: 3.7
Undergraduate Major: English and Political Science, Jewish Studies Focus
GRE Quantitative/Verbal/AW Scores: 147/160/4.5
Years Out of Undergrad (if applicable): .5
Years of Work Experience: 2
Describe Relevant Work Experience: I have been working with the same member of the State House of Representatives for two years and I head our office's healthcare legislation. Additionally, I was part of the team that established my University's first Diversity and Inclusion Office, where I conducted research and wrote white papers about targeted Diversity Initiatives.
Strength of SOP (be honest, describe the process, etc): I really think my story is my strong-suit. I was a Gates Scholar in undergrad, first-gen, Pell Grant, minority student etc. Wrote my SOP about how I got interested in policy due to my interactions with various government programs growing up and how my approach to research in undergrad was a result of that uncommon background.
Strength of LOR's (be honest, describe the process, etc): I feel like these were strong, too. One was written by my Quantitative Research Methods prof who was also my research mentor. I wanted to make sure that I had someone who could speak to my quant skills bc obvi those are not my strong-suit. Other letters were written by my academic advisor (who literally met me my first day of undergrad and is a close mentor), and my direct supervisor at my policy job.
Other: I have presented quantitative research on Zillennial voting behavior internationally and published on Holocaust memorialization and narrative storytelling.I am anxiously waiting for Princeton's response right now because if I get in, I am for sure attending in the Fall. Honestly, I am surprised at the responses I have gotten thus far. Totally thought I was going to get into one MAYBE two of the programs I applied to and that was going to be it. Who knows if I can get into Princeton? I'm turning down my McCourt offer this week so the spot can open up for folks on the Waitlist!
When did you hear from McCourt?

I got in to Nicholas, but haven't heard anything from SEAS yet. I also applied to Duke's Sanford School and Michigan's Ford School for their MPPs. I did get into IU Bloomington's O'Neill for their MPA-MSES program as well. I haven't heard a peep about funding though. I did however just set up the Michigan account and it has my application as arriving Jan 16th...so...might not be hearing from them soon. Although I am certain I submitted it at 3pm on the 15th. Maybe they just pulled it from the portal the next day. Idk I'm a nervous wreck and would like to know results lol.
