  1. Did anyone here apply to the Obama Foundation Scholars Program at Columbia University? Is anyone aware of when they'll say who got the scholarship?
  2. Hiiii International student from Mexico accepted to the MPA-DP, here. I contacted SIPA regarding this topic and they told me they "do not and cannot endorse any accredited school specifically,” but “US News and World Reports offers a good sample list here as a starting point”: https://www.usnews.com/education/online-education/bachelors/rankings I am currently exploring with Arizona State University and CUNY, I'd be happy to share what I find, I am calling people at ASU tomorrow. Also, regarding the credits, I really have no clue which schools are elligible, like I just find this so vague. I will provide the link of the coursework/syllabus to Columbia's Office of Student Affairs, in order to receive their ok and then take the course. I can get back to you as soon as I have more info.
  3. Would it be possible that as some people decline their offers with funding, then that money be redirected to other students who applied for financial aid and did accept their offer?
  4. What is an appeal? Like you appeal the financial aid decision and they look into your case specifically?
  5. I’m also thinking of going without funding, family has some savings, would be interested in learning loan options for international students... Altho USD-MXN exchange rate is a bust.
  6. Sucks. SIPA is my top choice but I'd be more inclined to attend if I'd get some financial aid. I'm on the final round for the Chevening scholarship in Mexico, and have been previously admitted to the MPhil in Public Policy @ Cambridge. So I hope having a potential full ride in the UK could work as leverage and help me negotiate with SIPA, but if not, I'll have to choose the UK.
  7. Hi, I am also wondering which accredited academic institutions they're talking about. I am emailing them today, hopefully to be redirected to a SIPA summer session on Calculus (I think that's more efficient than doing two econ courses). I'm an international student, so if y'all hear about a moderately priced option that can transfer credits to SIPA, I'd be grateful. Also, scoring a B+ sounds terrifying.
  8. AHH I AM ALSO ON THIS BOAT, no news from the International Fellows Program.... MPA-DP accepted, here. Also, have all the accepted MPA-DPs NOT heard of funding yet? I also applied to the Obama Scholars Program but have no idea when will I hear about that.
  9. Did it appear the first time or did you log out and then log in as some people are saying?
  10. Ladies and gentlemen, I do not know if we are allowed to curse in this fine forum, but I presented a shitty GRE, and I just got a conditional admission to the MPA-DP!!! I have to take a Calculus course in order to get the final admission, but easy peasy!!! No news on financial aid so far, tho
  11. O sea but they're gonna send emails until FRIDAY?! what about tomorrow?! Can they do tomorrow? I applied to the MPA-DP in the January 5 deadline for the fellowship ?
