Duke is finally here! Got an email notification at 7 pm (of course it went to promotionals, pff) Good luck to everyone!

[LazarusRises]

I'm in at the Nic School!! Sweet relief.

Received an email seemingly auto-generated at 7pm (on President's Day, huh?) telling me to check the web portal. Letter was waiting for me there. As we suspected, funding info will come out in mid-March.

Good luck, all!!

Congrats on Duke and Michigan for everyone who got in! I didn’t apply to Duke but was accepted at Michigan!!

Anyone else still waiting on emails from duke/Michigan? Nothing in my inbox 

[alaqua]

Nope. Nothing.

I think at least for Duke they roll out decisions starting in mid-February and based on gradcafe results from past years it looks like it's not based on admitted/rejected- there's early ones and later for both- I hope that helps!

Thanks annap510!

Admitted to the Nic School at 7 pm ET today!!

Congrats!! That's awesome - is Michigan one of your top choices?

Also, did you apply during the priority deadline?

Just got an email from SEAS and it’s good news!! No info on aid yet but wondering if that’ll come later?

Thanks!! No I applied by the regular aid deadline, Jan 15. When did you apply?

Same here! I'm super anxious - hoping to hear back soon! Do you think you'll end up there?

Just got an email from Yale F&ES that decisions will be out March 6th at 5pm EST! Love how specific they were LOL

Maybe! SEAS has such a good program and great class offerings for what I'm interested in (geospatial stuff) but it all comes down to aid for me. 

Sending good vibes your way and hopefully you hear back with good news very very soon!

I applied January 15, and yes it's definitely a top choice for me!

SEAS offered me $15k non-renewable for the first year, which I was happy about. I think my choice will depend on if I get into Yale and how much funding I get from Yale (but I wouldn't have to pay rent at Yale, so it would be cheaper in that regard).

I got that too -- I appreciate that they told us! Much better than waiting for some unknown date

Congrats on the scholarship! Was that info given to you in your acceptance email?

Hmm, guess I didn't get any scholarships (OOOOOF), but excited nonetheless! Thanks and congrats again!

3/3 so far...waiting for Bren and Yale. I hope we find out funding opportunities with the decision letters. From looking at forums/results on gradcafe from previous years, Bren results will probably come out mid March. Looks like the deadline to commit for most schools is around tax day, meaning admitted students weekends in March-early April and then a rapid turnaround for our decisions ahhh. I've been offered a tuition waiver + 25 k stipend for 11 months (and potential TA opportunities for the second year) at one school meaning I have a nearly fully funded opportunity. How are people balancing offers right now, all the what ifs are driving me crazy (what if I get into Yale with more funding than Duke, what if the gods smile down on me and give me Nic scholar, how do I justify potentially taking on 80k+ in debt).

What's going on through your minds, i'd love to hear how you all are comparing schools since we're all applying to similar programs!

Hi all- lurker here. Congrats to everyone who has received acceptances! 

I only applied to two schools this round- Evans MPA and Goldman MPP with intended focuses of environmental policy - and I don’t think any decisions have been sent out yet. Has anyone applied to these schools and heard back yet? I’ve been having anxiety dreams this past weekend and now I’m wondering if I should’ve applied to more schools. Very nerve-wracking!

I applied to both of those with the same tracks (+ ERG at Berkeley), as well as some other programs. No news yet from Goldman at Berkekey or Evans at Washington.

Just got into SEAS with a non-renewable $15k scholarship! I've been stressed all day seeing other peoples' acceptances roll in, so this is a huge relief (and I'm super excited for SEAS). Is anyone planning on going to the admitted students day on March 20th?

[EnvPolicyHopeful]

In at SEAS! No info of funding in the email blast I received. Is that where other people found their funding info? My Rackham School account page also hasn't yet been updated.
