I guess maybe because my working experience is not enough, I am a currently undergraduate but every year they also take some undergraduates so I think that's fine. Hope to hear some good news in March and Chicago Harris

Hope to hear some good news in March and Chicago Harris Yeah there’s still hope. I got into Harris last month and it’s looking more likely than SIPA rn because they actually gave me a scholarship and I have no idea what the financial situation is for SIPA

juanca2894 Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Hi! Someone know when are the MPA in EPM (PEPM) program admission results are going to be available? (early admission, before November 15th) Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately, to my knowledge, SIPA does not publish detailed admissions statistics (like most MPP/MPA programs), so it's difficult to gauge relative selectivity. I can post my own stats if that would be helpful. All I know is that SIPA is consistently ranked as part of the top 5 policy/international relations graduate schools, and has strong post-grad career placement.

All I know is that SIPA is consistently ranked as part of the top 5 policy/international relations graduate schools, and has strong post-grad career placement. My guess is that the M.I.A. (SIPA's flagship program) is slightly more selective than the M.P.A. given that SIPA is best known as an international affairs school and the M.I.A. is smaller (~200 students per class) vs. M.P.A. (~250 students). The M.I.A. has actually gone from ~350 students per year in the mid/late 2000s to ~200 per year in the present. My guesstimate would be 1/3 admitted for the former and upper 30s/lower 40s % for the latter. Also noteworthy to mention that these applicant pools are self-selective so hypothetical admittance rates should be understood with that lens, it's a competitive process.
SAN1234 Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Hi guys, just continuing this thread for those that applied later since this is the only thread I found for SIPA. Congrats to the early applicants who have already been accepted! n_eb_2020 and breakfastpie 2

Luiscolumbia Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Hi all, when the committee will get together to review application?
Zendetta Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Just made it to the MPA-DP program! Waiting for the second application to the MPA one

thaEconomi$t Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 SWEET BABY JESUS I'M IN! MPA 2021 here I come! 1st decision of the decade!!! Praying there's a funding letter with my name on it @ the Office of Financial Aid ?
thaEconomi$t Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 18 hours ago, Luiscolumbia said: Congratulations!!! When do you apply? I think I applied early, submitted everything - GRE, recs, etc. by November of last year. I got a decision posted to my account about 2-3 months after.

AndresFML Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Hi guys, I was admitted to the fall 2020 MPA in the early action. I didn't have news on scholarships at the moment. Have you received any news on funding?

I think they let everyone know when they have reviewed the January applications as well, since they are considering the people who applied early action as well as those who applied by the financial aid/scholarship deadline. Probably mid-March when general decisions come out.
GoldenWhale Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Hello! A little late to the forum, but was wondering if there were any other Rangel/Pickering/Payne Fellows that have applied to SIPA this coming cycle? Always curious as to what kind of schools we all applied to, as well as where we will ultimately end up! Good luck to everyone!

I see from your signature that that's not the case. 19 hours ago, Zendetta said: Any news from SIPA you guys? Not yet! Their website says mid-March, so I fear we'll have to wait another couple of weeks ?
