  1. Just got accepted for the MPA-DP...excited for the acceptance cause I love the program. But it's far too expensive unfortunately
  2. Thanks for calling and sharing your findings, hudwa! Of course, I would have rather heard that everyone would hear by 5pm tonight, but not much we can do about it now. I really am hoping that there will be good news at the end of this painful wait Good luck to everyone!
  3. I applied to the MPA-DP program and still haven't heard...I'm so anxious and really don't want to have to wait through the weekend without knowing anything...
  4. Waitlisted... I'll be waiting with a tiny glimmer of hope for a little longer. Anyone have any idea the likelihood of getting admitted from here?
  5. Thanks! You know...I need something to do while I'm waiting out these last decisions and checking this forum like a crazy person. (No one really here in the rural rainforest of Costa Rica to commiserate with).
  6. Do they do any kind of more specific rankings in terms of international policy or more specifically international development? Just wondering
  7. Got into Elliott (posting a couple days late) for International Development Studies! So excited, but definitely waiting to hear about financing. The only DC school I applied too...waiting out the rest still. This is a big week
  8. Seriously...I stopped breathing for a minute. So mean during this already excruciating waiting time.
