I haven't heard any updates, but I'm hoping we'll hear back soon - looks like they've sent results around this time the last couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anmanya Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I know. I'm in the same boat. Guess we should stay strong and hope for the best. Has anyone contacted the school about the speculative dates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakandaforever Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Congrats to all! Can you all share how your financial aid packages look like? I have $18,000 in tuition fellowship but that is it and I recall Duke is quite generous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabethrs Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Just got an email from them! I got quite a bit of funding, though it's not my top program. I'll probably use it for leverage at UChicago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I have a better offer from Harris which is my preference over Duke anyway, so maybe I can use my admission here to negotiate a better deal with Harris.

pozole Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I was offered a tuition fellowship covering nearly all of the '18-'19 tuition...! To be reconsidered for the following year. A few programs seem to have admitted students' days the same weekend - anyone else in this predicament?

I'd like to, but considering that I applied to 7 schools (TBD how many I'm in at) and live in a land far far away, we'll see what the bank allows. I'm not sure I can make it to the online webinars either. Ugh. If someone attends admitted students day and is able to share their impressions, I would greatly appreciate it I will certainly do so if I attend! I've had a few people say they don't think that Duke is "my type of place" (what does that even mean????), but these are also people who are not familiar with Sanford. I don't particularly care about the larger Duke campus being a good fit for me, but I definitely want to feel a sense of shared purpose/interests with my cohort. I feel like that's hard to do via other people's opinions or a webinar, so it's too bad that so many open house days overlap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have $18,000 in tuition fellowship but that is it and I recall Duke is quite generous! I got my acceptance email from Sanford this afternoon (3/6) with a half-tuition scholarship ($21K) plus the standard $4K TA/RA position. Since I am pretty narrowly focused on public health policy, Sanford is high on my list; I'm on the waitlist at Harris and waiting for a decision from U Chicago's social work school. To answer pozole, I have the conflicting admit day problem, with Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health (Master of Healthcare Administration), and I'm really not sure what to do about it. I already visited Sanford back in November when I interviewed at Fuqua, but I didn't get to meet career services or alumni. If there are a number of other admits with conflicts due to other MPP programs having the same admit day, maybe they'd let us do a mini-admit day earlier that week or something?

mppapp2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hi all! Just received my admission as well. But with only 5k plus the standard 4k ta/ra. A bit bittersweet, but congratulations to all other admits, especially those with such great funding offers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
