Hey mate, there is indeed a facebook group. It's called Cipa Class of 2013, http://www.facebook.com/mdhutson?sk=wall&notif_t=wall#!/home.php?sk=group_232698243423200 Ask to be invited. There are only 14 of us on there at the mo, but slowly building. Unfortunately have already sorted out accomodation, but there are people on the facebook page discussing housing etc. check it. Mike ps congrats.

I don't think so: i know someone at cornell, and she finalised in June time.

Hey guys, Accepted to masters in public policy course ($28,000); haven't accepted yet but probably will as it's my top choice. surprised not to see more responses on here given the results are out. What are people thinking about accomodation?

Got into Wisconsin, but not funding Maybe some will become available when people start responding to offers

Just got into CIPA with $28,000! Hold out hope everyone! Has anyone else heard back? If anyone is thinking of accepting, and is looking for flatmates, send me a mail. Mike

Hey guys - I got the same admit email, saying i've also got some funding and that details of funding will be emailed to me soon. Have you guys found out how much funding you got offered? How much should I expect? Congrats

Hey, thanks for the info; that's extremely helpful to know!! When you say you were 'offered' a TA-ship, did you chase one up or did they just offer you one in the original admission email; i didn't have any reference about a TA-ship in my original email, so I am trying to find out ways to chase up a position.

Hey everyone, I just got back my first admit for the Brown Masters in Public Policy, and they've offered me a financial package (but i don't know how much it is yet). What can I expect for a financial package in a Masters program? And more importantly, hiw possible is to get TAships and RAships that waive the tuiton fees as a Masters student? And can we get these for the first semester, or do we have to get there and then impress faculty in order to get one for second semester? I really don't think the financial pakage will cover the whole costs so I am searching for ways to fund myself. Any comments would be well appreciated!!! Thanks, Michael
