 hi! has anyone accepted the offer yet? 

 

I'm also applying to other programs but very likely to attend Harris too! Since I did not get any initial funding offer, I'm planning to use other offers (if I could get other offers) to negotiate with Harris. I was wondering if you (or anyone else) have received information on the official negotiation process? Does it preclude the people who did not receive an initial offer?

 

Thanks in advance!

Congratulations. I think I saw your decision on the homepage. 170/170/6 right? That's a terrific score ?

Accepted to the MPP program with $25k per year in funding :) Got a call yesterday around 10am Pacific Time.

Does anyone have any guidance on negotiating funding? Has anyone tried to request additional funding either this year or in years past?

Good afternoon everyone, I am needing this information too!

I reached out to admission and they provided this link:https://harris.uchicago.edu/admissions/blog/scholarship-reconsideration . However, the "form" on this page is invalid. I tried to contact them multiple times after that but did not get any replies. Can anyone contact them again?

In the financial aid webinar, they mentioned that the form will be up sometime in March.

Great thanks so much for the info! That basically stopped me from emailing them the third time about this link hahaha.

Anyone else feeling super nervous? Someone updated the results page yesterday. Apparently, they were notified they were accepted by email yesterday with $35k funding per year. Could this just have been from some weeks earlier, or do you think Harris is actually processing these decisions way ahead of schedule? Round 2 applicants are supposed to hear back in March, right?

Probably wise to get in touch with the admissions office. Round 1 decisions were announced way earlier than schedule (mid January instead of mid February) so it's possible that they do the same with Round 2.

ATTENTION! 

Harris updated its Requirements and Deadlines page: 

In order to allow admitted students time to attend the April 3 Admitted Student Day, we are offering an additional notification date for applicants who submit by February 21, 2020 for the full time MPP, MA, and MAIDP programs. Students who submit on February 21 for these programs will have an admission decision by February 28, 2020. Those who are admitted will be invited to attend the April 3 Admitted Student Day.

16 MORE DAYS! WOOOO!

Hi guys! I can confirm that I applied by the January deadline, and was notified on Monday 2/10 that I was accepted with $30k a year in funding. Good luck to the rest of you still waiting!

Congratulations! That’s amazing! 

If you don’t mind me asking, what are your stats & background?

I was notified on 31 January. Did anyone else find out on a different date?

Get in touch with their admissions office, they're actually very responsive.

Haven’t yet. We just gotta wait, I guess. Best of luck to you. 

Thanks! 

Quick question! So I just realized that even though my status is currently showing as "submitted" I'm still getting emails about applying before the Round 3 deadline...  Are you getting those emails too??  I was a bit concerned if I 'm getting those emails because something went wrong with my application, or it might have just been an automatic email..

Ooooh. I don’t think I’ve gotten emails about the Round 3 deadline. (If any, maybe one? But I accidentally started another application I did nothing with. Don’t know if that’s what triggered it. And I am more than 50% sure I manually unsubscribed from the admissions emails.) 

I now get only the webinar emails, but I did subscribe to those. 

Did you ever get an automated email that said your application was submitted? And in your application, did you say you were trying for Round 2 or 3? 
 

I’m guessing you don’t need to worry. If it says it’s submitted and you have all those green checkmarks, I’ll bet that you’re a-okay. 

And it likely doesn’t matter whether you’re in Round 2 or 3 because, if I understand correctly, it’s everyone who applies on Feb 21 or before who hears back by Feb 28.
