UCSD....? Keeping my fingers crossed for the opportunity to travel there by Fall 2021 (and get my F-1 visa in time). Haha we will all meet in DC finally

Congrats!!! You have finally decided for UCLA, and this a great choice...thank you so much for your encouraging words. Wishing you all the best! Hopefully, we will meet one day

Nothing have been received about it by email yet. However, they have mentioned 30-31 March as Admitted Student Days...additional information may appear soon

Thank you so much for your support and advice! I will definitely contact them.

Keeping my fingers crossed! Honestly, it is a huge amount of money for two years... Did you get a separate notification about funding? Or was it a part of your admission letter?

Thank you for asking! Not yet...and this does not provide me with a hope.

Sure, MPP! What I know is that they have scheduled Admitted Students Days for 29-30 March....so it is still time. They are super busy now, so I am sure you will receive news from them very soon.

Nothing about funding has been heard yet...but I am trying to apply for other sources of funding, other than the UCSD. Challenging!

I have got the official admission letter recently! Very happy about it...

Have you guys got any info about GPS Prep Payment and GPS Seat Deposit on your Application Portal?

Thank you so much for sharing this information. Terrific! And congratulations again. This is great news about the full tuition coverage.

Impressive! All schools are really good....however, GWU is in DC and you will find yourself in a “career lift” there. The UCSD is more about environmental policies honestly, if you are looking for this experience and knowledge. Follow your interests!

Have you found any status update in your Applicant portal?

Seems like good news! Congratulations.....at least, we hear from them and they are working on the admission/award process now

Well, keeping fingers for good! The past year was so much disappointing for everyone....

I think this admission year is so much different to previous ones...taking into account that both the admission committee and the graduate committee are working home mostly. Now all the simple procedures definitely take more time than ever. I keep my fingers crossed for better times and the opportunity to study offline. Well, I have heard similar stories about nominated/admitted students. But this year is so unusual, ahhh I am an international student, so I am also looking forward to hear any good news about financial support from the UCSD. It is quite a renowned school that is ranked pretty high (talking about political and policy studies), and I like the UCSD’s connection to the environmental sciences (I have a research background to be honest)....

Thank you so much, and i hope this too!!! I have applied for MPP as well! And yes, I am keen on studying at the UCSD. As i understood, the GPRS student events with faculties have taken a lot of energy and time from the graduate commission, so it has might slightly slowed down the admission process. The other thing that they have scheduled other online events for the admitted students days (March 30 and 31!), so there is still time ...

Awesome! Congrats....I am still waiting any response (no updates on the applicant portal as well) , maybe it takes longer for them to go through all the files. I really enjoyed the GPS faculty office hours....felt like i really wanna study at UCSD

Anyone from the "nominated" cohort ....have you heard back with an official admission letter maybe? The GPS student events (15-17 March, online events to meet faculties) were wonderful to be honest. But I get very anxious too!

Hello everyone! I did have an interview in February. I have got a "nomination" email recently....and i am still waiting for an official admission letter. I have also got a message with the GPS scheduled student events taking place online from 15th March till 17th March - this is nice to feel you are already connected to the school. As I understood, information about funding will be sent by the end of March. Stay safe!
