Soo, I've been going over my applications and everything just wondering why I haven't heard back, when most applicants have. I even called them this morning and they said that I should be hearing soon. But I have one question which I hope you can help me with- In the application they ask to mail all your transcripts to the school. I sent my undergrad trsnacripts, which they recieved. However, I just saw that on the application form I also entered my high school information since that was a section on the form. Did you also mail your high school transcripts out to USC? I hope not, since I didn't and they never asked for them. And since no other school asked for high school transcripts, I didn't bother. Please help! Maybe I'm panicking for no reason, but please let me know if you did Thanks so much!!

Hopefully, I'll be posting here by next week.

ME TOO. LOL. I haven't heard back from any schools yet and I'm so nervous since every other school seems to have made/are making decisions. lol oh well. We'll hear soon!

A bit late but here goes Program Applied To (MPA, MPP, IR, etc.): MPA, Nonprofit Management Schools Applied To: CIPA, USC, NYU, Umass Amherst, The New School Schools Admitted To: Schools Rejected From: Still Waiting:All Undergraduate institution: Small Liberal Arts School in California Undergraduate GPA: 3.18 Undergraduate Major: Liberal Arts Last 60 hours of undergraduate GPA: 3.5 GRE Quantitative Score: 151 GRE Verbal Score: 153 GRE AW Score: 4.0 Years Out of Undergrad (if applicable): 2 Years of Work Experience: 2 Describe Relevant Work Experience:Working as an analyst for a huge private consulting firm, and worked on projects for the South East Asian Governments, Asia Foundation, etc Languages: English (native), Spanish (native level), Hindi (native) Quant: Not too much.

Strength of LOR (be honest, describe the process, etc): One from my thesis adviser (should be okay I hope), and 2 others from profesors at my school. Had a personal relationship with all 3 and I'm hoping they wrote good ones.

It seems like everyone from USC MPA has already heard back? Is this a bad sign that I still haven't heard from them? and the status hasn't changed on the application page either? :/

I'm Waitlisted but I live abroad anyway. haha What program did u apply to?

I'm so sorry! Did you hear back from the other schools?

lol! Some schools won't notify me until April 15th! This is going to be a long ass process for me. sigh

Wait listed at Cornell. But at least it's much better than a straight rejection.

I had the same thing happen to me! but don't freak out. I just called ETS and the school (UMASS), and they took care of it. Apparently ETS had sent the scores but UMASS had lost them. But I got it sorted out yesterday. Most schools are still making their decisions so don't worry. Anything can happen

I was planning to send in my application for the MPA program at Arizona State. That's not mentioned here very much either, but what do you all think? It's definitely not one of my first options, more like a back up plan. But let's see.

yup! they said another 3-4 weeks for the final decision. Basically another 2 weeks for me since I heard about 2 weeks ago. Drags this whole process. sigh

I tried logging into the Camel website but I still can't log in. I hope they hurry up. This is nerve wracking lol

@Helpplese123- I'm glad they send the decision via fedex and not snail mail. Which hopefully means I'll be hearing soon too. argg

awesome! congrats

omg this thread is making me nervous! lol. We should be hearing from USC any time now.

Other than Cornell, I've applied to NYU Wagner, USC, The New School and UMass. Good luck! Hope you hear back soon. Let me know how it works out

I can't log in either! Mine is still under review though. Helpplease - I think it's a good sign!

Mine is under review as well. I'm hoping something changes soon. HelpPlease123 -What camel link are you talking about?

Bump!

I heard from them this morning. They waitlisted me for their MPA Fall 2012 program. Has anyone else gotten on the waitlist? Or has anybody been put on the Cornell waitlist in the past ? Would love to hear from anyone. I was a bit disappointed this morning since it's one of my top choices, but I'm hoping I hear good news in the next few weeks.

Gosh! if people have already started hearing back then I guess we should be hearing anytime soon, I submitted my app on the 14th of Dec, but I live abroad, so the mail might take an extra week or something to reach me. damn it. On another note, I heard from my 2nd choice this morning. Cornell's MPA. They waitlisted me :S

I got the same email from USC, as Helplease123. Asking me to send in my financial aid forms. Someone already got admission with full tuition? Damn. I don't follow them on Twitter so I wouldn't know, but I thought they wouldn't be making decisions before March? @Helpplease123 - You are eligible for USC financial aid in form of tuition scholarships even if you're foreign. I'm an international student too, and we're not eligible for US federal aid, but we can hope to receive some tuition scholarships
