Stan E. Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Noticed one result pop up today (U)... wondering if notifications are going out.
coaks Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Noticed one result pop up today (U)... wondering if notifications are going out. Wow, looks like it. Seems early compared to last year. I guess that's a good thing? Also last year seems like most people first heard through the mail. Seems like e-mails now, postal service package later (future e-mails also. Whoever just posted predicting they will be accepted on the 4th is incredibly confident. )
Stan E. Posted March 4, 2010 Author Posted March 4, 2010 Oh whoa, I never took the time to read the date stamp. You're right-- someone is either extremely confident, or made an error in reporting their admission. I am becoming very anxious for this letter.

Although, about the date, after I posted I realized it could have been an international admit from Europe and/or Asia. They technically would be the 4th already.
stresschicken Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Hi, I was the one who posted (U) after getting an email from Jalilah LaBrie. I noticed that someone else also posted an acceptance. And yes, it is the 4th here.

stresschicken Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) <BR>Hi,Could you share your stats and when did you submit your application? Hi, I think notifications should be out pretty soon, but I don't mind sharing either. I have a 3.5 GPA in Econ, a total of 1.5 years' research experience in a think tank and in government, GREs were 740V and 800Q. I'm tempted by the offer and I love everything I've heard about GSPP, but it's unlikely that I'll be taking it. Edited March 4, 2010 by stresschicken
wooldogg Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 stresschicken, Does that mean you are outside of the US right now? Maybe they are emailing internationally-based applicants...

Haha, if I had that profile, I'd be a lot less stressed out about my outstanding apps right now. Why are you leaning away from GSPP? Excited about a different school? Or not interested in an MPP program after all?

Why are you leaning away from GSPP? Excited about a different school? Or not interested in an MPP program after all? I'm still going into public policy, but it may make more sense to go straight for a PhD since that's what I want eventually, and I'm very happy with the choices I have. I'm also torn about whether I should follow my boyfriend to Oxford - even though the schools I really want to go to are all in the US. Very stressed right now.
Stan E. Posted March 4, 2010 Author Posted March 4, 2010 That sounds like a tough call. I followed my boyfriend to San Francisco for graduate school, and now that I've settled here I can't bare to leave. Congratulations on the admit. Fingers crossed that notices go out sooner than later-- this is my final decision.

Totally hear you and I'm in the same situation. My partner is enrolled in a chiropractic program outside Chicago but I've already been turned down by Booth (waiting on Harris). We've been long distance for half a year now and it's been about as tough as I thought it would be. Looks like it could end up being four years of long distance, too, which neither of us are looking forward to.
broadinterests Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 I noticed that they sent notices via postal service in the past and it looks like they sent rejects and admits at the same time. Maybe some of our letters are already in the mail? Out of curiosity- has anyone else already made the decision to attend a different school and yet still feels anxious to receive their last decision or two? I got in to my top choice with a good offer but am still waiting for other decisions even though I know I will turn them down... strange. stresschicken- congrats! and good luck making your decision.
mppboog Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Letters will be going out this week according to GSPP. Standby.
coaks Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Letters will be going out this week according to GSPP. Standby. Electronic letters or dead tree letters?
Stan E. Posted March 4, 2010 Author Posted March 4, 2010 Très excitant! Did you hear this from the admissions department, Coakley? I am still waiting on funding information from UMass Amherst....
Stan E. Posted March 4, 2010 Author Posted March 4, 2010 Yes! Received my letter of my admission just a short while ago. My first choice!
stucktomyshoe Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Yes! Received my letter of my admission just a short while ago. My first choice! Congrats! Ah, I've been on edge--still nothing for me. Did you get via email or snail mail?
egmpp2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Now I'm counting down this minutes till I can get home and check my mailbox, esp. since I live in the Bay Area... argh. There goes the afternoon at work.
Stan E. Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 I received a postal notification. In fact, I haven't seen the letter. I instructed my boyfriend to phone with news if I received anything but a single sheet of paper in an envelope. EG: If admitted, is this your first choice?
thomasgoldring Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Oh boy. Now I'm nervous. I also work in the Bay Area and am currently at work. 30 minutes until all will be revealed... maybe Congratulations to those already accepted.
coaks Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Congrats, congrats, congrats! Anxiously waiting here on the east coast.
thomasgoldring Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 No letter for me today. I guess I'll get the bad kind of letter sometime next week instead. Sad times.
