BK297 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Hi all, Didn't see a specific thread dedicated to the Maxwell School, so figured I'd start one. Anyone else been accepted and/or considering attending for the MPA program? Seems like a good program from what I've heard, and trying to weigh the pros and cons of their shorter, more intensive schedule.

May I know when you submitted and received decision? Thanks

dashp Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 I got an offer of admission on 28th Feb ... awaiting funding / scholarship decisions before taking a final call ... any idea on the amount of scholarship typically given ?

Maxwell has a very competitive program but I am not sure how it compares against other programs in terms of job placements, opportunities, research etc.
CBurruss Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I received admittance to the MPA program in the middle of February but am awaiting the funding decision. Has anyone heard back yet?

Expand They said March 18 was the earliest that funding decisions would come out, and that those decisions would be released over the next couple weeks (not all at once, from my understanding)
bythesunrise34 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Was admitted this morning! Hoping to hear this week about funding, if possible. I know it'll be between now March 18-April 1.
BK297 Posted March 20, 2019 Author Posted March 20, 2019 I also received my funding notice today, and it was pretty generous. I'll be there for the admitted students day on 3/25 to see in person and hopefully get a better feel for the program
CBurruss Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I also received a half-time assistantship along with @Pj2401 . I think I'm going to accept it..
PDude Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 I was also accepted with the graduate assistantship and a decent merit scholarship. I received my notice of funding two days ago.

When I checked their website - the priority deadline was 15th Feb and had applied then. Haven't heard back from them on both application and funding - had applied for a MPA/MSES degree.

Expand Hey, If I am right, their priority deadline was 1st Feb. Do check whether your application is being considered in the second round for which results will be out in late April. I received my admission notice on March 7th and I had applied on 1st Feb. Hope that helps

I have an admit from Yale FES and Duke Nicholas and have to give them a decision by April 15th. So I guess this was a waste of time and money ?

Also, let them know of your predicament and maybe they will give you an answer earlier to help with your decision. hardikpokhrel 1
findoh19 Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Any opinions on the Atlantis Program vs. the joint MPA/MAIR at Maxwell? There is certainly a cost difference, but which one will give a bigger professional advantage? Atlantis will guarantee a one year program in a German-speaking country, but it seems like there may be multiple travel/study options with the joint degree program at Maxwell. And which is ultimately the better complement to the Maxwell MPA? The Hertie MIA or the Maxwell MAIR?
CBurruss Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Does anyone have any advice for housing around Syracuse or is currently looking for housing options?

I will most likely be doing the MPA at Maxwell and the MPP at Hertie. I have spoken with the admission teams of both schools. They were really supportive. This is a unique program where around 8-10 students from all over the world are admitted. Still figuring out the funding part but will do all I can to enroll next summer! How about you?

Expand I haven't started looking yet, but I will be searching for housing later this month. The Syracuse, NY thread seems to have some good information, although the thread has 12 years worth of posts to look through! )
