Amazing!! I got an unsubsidized loan. So disappointed.

Congratulations! Well deserved, I’m sure. Hopefully this means we will all be learning about finaid soon. ??

This is so helpful. I applied (and was accepted by) the same schools. Trying to determine ROI, especially if it would require a move to a new city. I haven't heard from HGSE about financial aid, but I'm counting on very little if at all.

Wow, didn't think I was going to get in, let alone with a merit scholarship. Congrats, all!

This is so accurate. I'm not letting myself get too attached because I'm anticipating getting little to no support. Anyone hear about fellowships yet?

I was just thinking about posting here with the same question. Feels a bit weird that we haven’t heard yet.

I didn’t, but that sounds like a really nice touch.

Well, at least we’ll get closure!

Anyone know if the fellowships have already been awarded? To both the US and the Zaentz programs and not very optimistic about how competitive I might be in either case. So anxious about financial aid!

Anyone know about fellowships?

Any other EPA admits?

Accepted with a 15k merit scholarship!

Wait! I had to click on “Review Application”. Looks like my status is “Decided” as well. ?

I’m not. Still says submitted for me. I would think that’s a good sign for you! Less optimistic for me since I don’t see any change. ?

I've been looking all day...nothing yet.

I applied by the January 15th priority deadline. Should I assume they have already identified any possible scholarship candidates from both the ED and the Priority waves?

Just glanced at the results from last cycle. It seems like Ph.D. decisions were released first and Master's decisions a day or two thereafter. It looks like Ph.D. results were announced today...my hunch is that we should expect to hear something by the end of this week. ?

Ha! I remember checking GC obsessively when my spouse was applying to grad programs. The nerves are real!

That would be great! When did you receive your decision?

Every day that passes, I get a little more excited. Just want to find out already!

I would be surprised if it weren't the first Friday of March. They've been remarkably consistent even amid the pandemic.

Ed. M. applicant here. Did everyone get a request to complete their financial aid form today? Seems strange that they would ask for that much information on every prospective student.

Thank you for this! Submitted my app early last week and was worried I’d find out I did something wrong. Phew.

Appreciate the response (and good luck with your application!). What you described is exactly what I was thinking about doing. Why would I summarize my SOP or recap my resume when I can humanize the entire package? I think I'm psyching myself out after spending far too long watching others' videos on Youtube.

Finalizing my application for Sanford's MPP program and debating whether to submit the optional video essay I recorded earlier this month. What does an effective video essay look like? I think I'm overthinking things.
