2018Hopeful Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I have been browsing the forums for some time now but haven't found any applicants to Cornell CIPA 2018. Has anyone heard from CIPA, or does anyone have an idea of what their timeline is this year? I submitted my application January 15 and I am waiting since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Corr Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I have heard of CIPA, and at one point considered applying there but heard from someone that it is geared more towards people interested in careers in academia than policy. Decisions for programs such as these are usually released mid March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their curriculum is so flexible and encourages a lot of hands-on experience, such as the capstone and consulting classes. Harris puts a heavier emphasis on theory just by looking at the curriculum. I know someone who's in Harris and she said the workload is super super heavy. Nico Corr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone who's in Harris and she said the workload is super super heavy. Again, I only base this off of what I heard from someone else considering the program. I do know that Cornell has an excellent undergraduate public/foreign policy program, so it makes sense that it would have a strong basis in policy & theory.

cathyzcy888 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Submitted application on Jan. 18th, submitted video interview on Jan. 27. Still waiting for the decision. Keep fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristatequeen Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) @BoscoNot a ton of funding ($18k per year) but that was expected as CIPA is said to be a more affordable degree and Ithaca isn't as expensive as other cities. Trying to wait to hear back from my other schools to negotiate funding. Edited February 16, 2018 by tristatequeen forgot something Bosco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I just saw an announcement on the Cornell website saying that the university would be closed on March 2 because of the winter storm. I guess maybe it's the reason why their decisions are delayed.
