Congrats! I'm not planning on doing the dual degree. My guess is that each admissions process is independent. Good luck!

KIMAMS Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Okay! Gear up folks and let's begin another wait...Today is Friday 13th...Amen! n_eb_2020, uzi995 and Mich3909 3
thediesel Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Princeton WWS released yesterday and today, but Harvard HKS is pushed back to next week. Still hopeful for today based on the email about current students contacting us. amr2020 1

jean12 Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 A friend of mine sent an email to SIPA yesterday and this is how they replied. It seems that we have to wait a little bit longer... But I still hope it will be released today.
LazarusRises Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Oy! Thanks to your friend for their bravery... but didn't current SIPA students get an email saying they're organizing calls to admits starting Monday?

Just a big hedge. thediesel, carriposa22 and KIMAMS 2 1
spnfiim Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 This is what SIPA responded to me just 3-4 days ago- “Thank you for your message. When a decision has been made, your application portal will reflect the decision. You should expect to hear back by mid-March.”
ab1987 Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 I just hope COVID-19 hasn't affected their decision making process as well. Lets hope for decisions by tonight or by Monday in the worst case. I am sure they are making all out efforts and struggling with the mayhem caused by the coronavirus. Despite all the obstacles, if Columbia and Harvard can't meet their deadlines, I can't think of anyone else to do so. Lets hope for the best.

The institutions want to protect their yield, and many candidates that would otherwise accept might attempt to defer a year instead because of the pandemic. It's all speculation, and I have no idea how it could be determined whether a qualified applicant is a risk to accept or not.

Mich3909 Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Other Columbia grad programs have been sending out decisions all week, so im assuming SIPA admissions should be able to release their decisions as well. I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have had the majority of decisions finalized before this week... plus, the notification system should be mostly automated. n_eb_2020 and carriposa22 2

My friends have heard from other Columbia programs but I am not sure what's going on with SIPA. Let's hope it will be today.
