No funding as well. Did anyone else decide to enroll with no funding? I enrolled to potentially increase my chances of aid, but I am still hesitating on committing to my decision...

How would this increase your chances of aid?

Today is the last date of paying the $2,000 fee for securing one's berth as it were. I haven't heard from the World Bank/Joint Japan scholarship people. Is there any chance SIPA will wait until result for the said scholarship are announced or will they revoke the admission offer?

Yes, the deadline for funding appeals was 5 p.m. Friday :(

It wasn't really publicized; you had to take initiative in emailing them, and then they replied with a form to fill out. I'm kicking myself for not asking for more money because they gave me close to what I requested. Honestly didn't expect anything because I didn't even have a competing offer to leverage.

I guess you can still try emailing them. With the April 15 deadline approaching, they'll probably have some extra money freed up.

Hey, long shot that you'd respond a year later but I am wondering how you found out about the appeals process. It wasn't advertised in my admission letter and I didn't find information about it anywhere else. I am terrified about the prospect of paying sticker price for this degree and hope I can appeal to the admissions office. Even if nothing changed, I'd feel better that I tried to advocate for myself.
