Thanks and good luck to you too!

Woho! Just got admission too! Does anybody know when they notify of funding?

No I did not apply to any dual degree program. Applied to Sciences Po and Columbia seperately.

I also applied to Sciences Po MPP and Columbia MPA! Got my admission from Sciences Po in early December. Anybody heard back from Eiffel and Emily Boutmy scholarships? It says "your scholarship request is pending" for both of them on the admission portal for me.

I was asked about my past work experience, why I want to study Public Policy (my background is Economics, so she wanted me to specifically mention why I decided to continue with Public Policy rather than Econ), and then couple of questions about career goals. It might be that different interviewers are assigned for different countries, and that the one assigned for you conducts the interview in a different way. I would not take it as a bad sign, because even if the interviewer did not like your response to the case study, he/she still needs to ask the personal questions in order to rate your answers in comparison to other applicants. Hence it is likely that the lady/gentlemen who interviewed you has a different approach. How long did your interview take overall?

I'm from Azerbaijan.

Just had my interview for the MPP program earlier today. The case study was very simple (it was actually sent to me 27 minutes prior to the interview) and the interviewer was extremely friendly and easy-going. It took about 30 mins. Started with brief introduction, then case study, and then some more personal questions. It felt more like an interactive conversation than an interview, which I certainly liked. Despite the fact that I messed up the time of the interview and had only 10 minutes for the case study, it was a pleasant interview. Good luck to everybody!
