mppchloe Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Does anyone know when MPP decisions will be released?
belocali Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 In the same boat! Their website says mid-February but it seems like no one on the forum has heard back yet.
pinkizzys Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Heard back from Luskin earlier today through email - nominated for admission! I did my undergrad at UCLA, and the thought of returning to campus is actually exciting. Now just hoping the best for funding/aid info, to be released in the next few weeks.
belocali Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Anyone else hear back? I feel like I’m going nuts waiting. ?
mppchloe Posted March 18, 2019 Author Posted March 18, 2019 Has anyone still not heard anything from UCLA? Seems like it's getting late....
belocali Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I haven’t yet. It’s a bit frustrating - I’m hoping they send out emails this week.
mpphopeful2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Has anyone contacted the admissions office? I saw someone share this link on a UCLA thread last year: http://appstatus.grad.ucla.edu/Account/AppStatus.aspx . When I enter my email and password it says that a decision has not yet been made on my application.

I checked out the same link too - I got the same message when I entered my info
belocali Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 As a side note I just heard that Luskin will be hosting 2020 Democratic presidential candidates for a forum on their policies regarding LGBT citizens. I wonder if they’ve been pretty focused on working on this. It’s pretty cool! But it’s making want to hear back from them even more. ?

Very irritating since I heard back from some programs as early as January. The fact that they charged $105 for this application makes it even more frustrating. 16 minutes ago, belocali said: As a side note I just heard that Luskin will be hosting 2020 Democratic presidential candidates for a forum on their policies regarding LGBT citizens.

So glad to see UCLA puts their students/potential students first ?. But for real, this is pretty cool. I just hope it's not taking too much time away from them.
cheysadr Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 So relieved to find this thread and see that others are suffering too! UCLA is my last incoming decision and I can finally start making some plans once I hear back from them. Hoping it comes this week!

Just saw more info here: http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/ucla-human-rights-campaign-2020-presidential-candidates-forum Otherwise, still nothing, but relieved to be in good company ?. Good luck everyone! Edited March 19, 2019 by dffiv
cheysadr Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I got my decision yesterday afternoon - provisional admission with no funding info yet. Good luck y'all!
MUPindiana Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I wonder if they are doing this alphabetical or in a rolling fashion of some sort...

bac Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 I suspect they're doing it like GWU did: good news first, bad news later. It's fairly insane that they haven't got them all out yet when I think pretty much every other school has by now. I've basically crossed them off my list for consideration now unless they offer me a free ride.
mppchloe Posted March 21, 2019 Author Posted March 21, 2019 Yes! Acceptance letter had no mention of funding though

Yeah - I'm trying not to read too much into the timing & process, but it's admittedly a little hard to not assume the worst. One would think that decisions would be released all at once, rather than the slow trickle they seem to be doing. Maybe they're still figuring out funding for people who haven't heard yet? Guess we'll all find out soon enough! ?

dffiv Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Just got my acceptance! No mention of funding yet. Last name begins with F, if that helps. Good luck everyone- and if we wind up being classmates I'm stoked to meet you!

I was overly optimistic. I called and was told they had already sent out all acceptances and waitlists for MURPs and I was receiving neither.
belocali Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Got my acceptance email yesterday night. Still in shock! It did state that I was recommended for admission, and more or less will hear officially from Graduate Studies. Is this pretty typical? Did anyone else have that wording in their email/letter? Feeling a little neurotic this morning. ?

Yep - "...the Department of Public Policy has recommended you for admission to the Master of Public Policy program...You will be receiving formal notification of this decision from UCLA Graduate Division. We hope that you will accept our invitation to be a part of this exciting and influential program." belocali 1
