  1. I was accepted to the MIA with funding. I actually just reached out to the DP office and asked about potential transfer. They noted that the MIA/MPA vs. MPA-DP admissions committees are completely different and so are their funding pools. Not sure if that helpful but maybe DP just did not have as much funding to give this year. Sorry if that is the case
  2. I got an email to login to MYFAID and it only showed loans and no scholarships on the "view awards" tab
  3. Anyone in a similar boat of being accepted with no funding to HKS MPP with no aid vs SAIS and SIPA with $$? What are the tradeoffs? How are you thinking about it?
  4. Accepted but with no financial aid! Very, very grateful and excited! But no aid so hard sell with both SIPA and SAIS offered scholarships for 50% of tuition!
  5. Accepted: Columbia SIPA ($$), Johns Hopkins SAIS ($$), Tufts Fletcher ($), Georgetown SFS, NYU Wagner ($), LSE Rejected: Princeton SPIA Still waiting: HKS Anyone have any advice on negotiating funding?
  6. I am very confused about this as well! Not sure how to compare especially since SAIS Europe has been fully in person with COVID Similar aid as well (about 50% for both)
  7. Do you mind expanding on where you are looking at the placements are how are you judging them?
  8. How does everyone feel about SAIS and Fletcher in comparison to similar programs? Esp. with COVID still a part of the picture. I have been accepted to SAIS Bologna, Fletcher, Georgetown MSFS, NYU Wagner, and LSE thus far (still waiting on HKS and SIPA) and as of now SAIS has given me the most money (about 40% tuition/yr scholarship). Curious how people feel about the value of a SAIS education vs these others and how people are feeling about Bolgona in the fall given COVID! Also happy to hear any info anyone has about negotiating for more scholarship funding or about SAIS's requirement of keeping a 3.4 to keep the scholarship.

  10. I thought I got rejected at first because every other school says congrats before anything else and they didnt lol
  11. Not seeing another link on portal so must mean I did not get anything -- congrats on your scholarship!
  12. Weird that no one on here has reported any aid today though
  13. Ugh yes this does not bode well:Admitted Student Questions How much estimated financial aid will I receive? If you have been admitted to a program and the department has decided to offer you a fellowship, assistantship, or scholarship, the amount of your award will be included in your admission letter.
  14. Im in to MSFS (congrats to all the other admits!) -- but no mention of funding. Does anyone have any details on how we get funding notifications?
  15. I also really like these two (and SAIS)-- what is factoring into your decision other than funding?
  16. On the website, it says admissions decisions on March 15th
  17. Just got in!! 15k/year-- 30k total in funding
  18. Congrats to everyone accepted and good luck to those still waiting on the financial aid email. I finally was able to login! Dean's Scholarship for 22k/yr Bologna campus first year. Super excited. Would love to hear from others!
  19. Still no word on funding Does anyone know whether you also get an email if you do not receive funding?
  20. Congrats!! Did the funding notification come through the portal or did you receive a separate email from the financial aid office?
  21. It is 5pm in Bologna so it might be later in the day for DC! Wishing you luck!
  22. Ahhhh Im in to SAIS Europe! No word on funding yet
