LazarusRises Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 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!! prokem, chaparralcountry, WatercolorPainter and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in my inbox 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!

kcovt Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Just got an email from Yale F&ES that decisions will be out March 6th at 5pm EST! Love how specific they were LOLÂ WatercolorPainter, prokem and monkeycat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! zuph123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, did you apply during the priority deadline? 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). prokem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeycat Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) 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!

alli707 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 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!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. alli707 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prokem Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 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? zuph123, WatercolorPainter and tillyk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnvPolicyHopeful Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 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. prokem, tillyk and WatercolorPainter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
