Received an email saying I was nominated for admission for the MPP program a couple hours ago (March 6th, 5PM)! No word on funding yet but am relieved to finally have a decision as an early decision applicant. Applied straight out of undergraduate studies (current UC San Diego student) and worked at the same time.
International student, 3.68 Cumulative GPA, 2 years research experience in policy analysis, 1.5 years professional work experience in data analytics, multiple extra-curricular positions, hopefully good SOP and LORs, did not submit GRE. Wishing the very best of luck to applicants who still haven't heard back, you got this! 2a/0r/6p
