Agreed, tuition compared to other MPP programs is quite excesive. Did the email just come in your regular acceptance or was it seperate?

I'm also wodnering about funding. Anyone know?

I'm also waiting for American funding, they claimed info would be out in mid March. I heard from GW right away that I would get no funding however.

I got an offer from LSE for MSc Public Policy and Administration last week Are you all likely to attend? I think it's my top choice right now.

I've finally heard back from everyone Got in at GW, American, Brown, LSE, King's College London, University College London Rejected at Georgetown and UVA (which I didn't understand oh well) Likely to go to LSE

Rejected at UVA today Really really suprised considering I've already been admitted at places like GW and American

It will likely be about 8 weeks from the day you recieve the 4th email when they process your applicaiton However it's getting a bit later in the process so it could be a bit shorter

Got into American last week and GW today. Also King's College London a few weeks ago. No money at GW though

I suppose I should post my profile here. I've been hesitant because all of you seem strong applicants in comparison!

Depending on length allowed, I described my interest in policy, my policy background, career goals, and specific interests within the program. Strength of LOR (be honest, describe the process, etc): Ok, two teachers who knew me quite well and could speak to my skills and abilities in policy related fields. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear back form schools. It seems there are a bunch of talented applicants in this thread.

Hi all, I am interested in pursing an MPP type degree and in addition to school in the United States I've been looking at some programs overseas. The Msc in Public Policy and Admin at LSE caught my eye, but there doesn't seem to be a lot out there about it. It appears most posters here opt for the MPA at LSE. Is there anyone out there who has graduated form the course or anyone with some more info?
