maddie92 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 The admission blog had a new post called “The Waiting Game” on anxiety applicants feel the days right before decisions are released. A sign, perhaps? Pj2401, MPP2019YES and Theevidentevaluator 2 1
VoidFish Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Decisions are out folks! Theevidentevaluator and maddie92 2
homesicksub Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Made it in somehow! No mention of funding, what about everyone else? Theevidentevaluator and maddie92 2
maddie92 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Same for me @homesicksub - this was definitely my reach school and I'm so excited to have gotten in! Hopefully funding decisions will come out soon... Theevidentevaluator 1
JWSS Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 In! But no word on funding. Congrats to all. Theevidentevaluator and maddie92 2
European2909 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 In! ? No mention of funding for me either! Congrats to all of you! Will go or are you still waiting for other schools’ results?
HoboPresident Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Also in. Glad the deadline is May 1st. Hopefully the funding info comes out before April. maddie92 1
Theevidentevaluator Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) IN (holy crap)!! No funding information either. I will probably go lurk in last year's thread to see when that cohort received their funding. Edited March 11, 2019 by Theevidentevaluator maddie92 1
acb4595 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 also in! no funding info yet... congrats to the other accepted applicants!
scubabali Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 In! Also I had a funding letter at the bottom of the page (it was a link to a separate letter). Received almost full tuition.
sdb12014 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Hello, congratulations to everyone! I also got in but no word on funding. Does anyone know if we'll get notified if we get anything or should we just email financial aid directly?
twenty-seven Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I also got in to the MPA-DP! My scholarship letter was also attached to the letter. Congrats to everyone who was admitted.
acv123 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Congrats to everyone! Accepted as well - a separate scholarship letter was linked at the bottom of the acceptance notice for me, if that's helpful!
LimaIDEV Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Congratulations to everyone! I was also accepted but no news on financial aid yet.
Theevidentevaluator Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Did any of you apply for the International Fellows program? If so, did you notice any mention of it in your acceptance letter? According to some forum sleuthing from 2017, some first year students were notified about being chosen in the letter. But, the IF page on SIPA's site lists the application deadline as the end of April. So if both first and second years are considered at the same time, that would leave me to believe that we wouldn't hear back about IF until May or June. I sent an email to the IF contacts on the site, and if they provide me with any more information about IF decisions, I'll let you know.
Pj2401 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I also got in! Super excited. No funding though. But, I did apply in the last deadline. Though in my letter they have specifically mentioned the concentration and specialisation. Is that for everybody? And if so, could I change it if I change my mind? Thanks

It was included in my scholarship funding letter.

Theevidentevaluator Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Regarding financial aid again, does anyone know what these lines from the welcome portal mean in relation to the decisions we received yesterday? "We automatically consider all admitted applicants for scholarships and we will contact you separately with more information about financing your SIPA education. Please note that most scholarship decisions will not be released until March 2019." So I'm inferring from the second sentence that scholarships were likely all given to people yesterday with their letters. Reading the first sentence though, I'm confused as to what they're contacting us separately about - I'm guessing PLUS loans and work study?

I'm assuming we didn't receive scholarships if we weren't notified yesterday, but I don't know why they would say we would be contacted separately in the same sentence as info about scholarships. The people who received scholarships yesterday were notified of them alongside their acceptance letter. Edited March 12, 2019 by Theevidentevaluator

The ones who have no funding info yet all applied to MIA.
maddie92 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 For those who did not get a funding letter, did your offer letters include the following sentence? "In a few weeks you will receive specific information on the cost of attendance and possible sources of aid." I looked at forums from previous years which seemed to imply that if you didn't have a funding letter with your offer of admission then that meant that you were not offered any funding. I'm wondering if this phrase in my letter refers to loans and/or work study or if there is a possibility to hear about scholarships later on? How do other people interpret this? @Spurs I applied to the MPA-DP program with no funding info... ?
