Hey everyone! Just a quick question -- does anyone know how difficult it is to pursue the SIPA GPPN dual degrees? Apparently SIPA MPAs and MIAs have "the option" to dual degree with one of several partnership programs abroad (i.e., LSE, Sciences Po, Todai, and a few others). I am particularly interested in Sciences Po. Has anyone heard anything about the difficulty of pursuing these dual degree options via GPPN? (Or even better, are there any current SIPA MIAs or MPAs that can speak to this?) Does SIPA encourage this, and is it relatively easy to gain acceptance into the dual degree programs? Or is GPPN just a special program for an elite/select few, and does SIPA heavily regulate whom gets in, etc.? Any insight is much, much appreciated! Thanks so much!

Congrats! MIA or MPA? Good luck with the decision!

Ah, it's good to read there's someone else out there. I hope you are right re: fellowships haha! I just have a bad feeling about it at this point. SIPA doles out so few first year fellowships, and it seems a relatively significant number of fellowships have already been posted on the results survey.... I think the wait is just really starting to get to me now. I wish you the best of luck!

Okay...so is anyone else still waiting to hear from SIPA regarding MPA admissions? Or am I the lone remaining sufferer? And if not, do we have any reason to believe any acceptances remain for us who still wait? I'm absolutely losing it, and I actually need to make a decision soon. Until when do I wait until I just move on and pick a different program?
