jukebox123 Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 has anyone heard anything about price's MPP? i haven't heard anything since i submitted early December, and i haven't seen any mention in this forum either. any extra info about decisions would be appreciated!
lilrhody Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 I'm in the same boat. It feels weird that I've heard literally nothing. Do you think decisions will be posted on the yousc portal or will we be notified by email? Didn't students know but this time last year?
jukebox123 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Posted March 1, 2021 yeah... i didn't even get anything other than the automated email that confirmed that my application was received. their reminder email for the merit deadline said they're aiming for notifications for late February (which has obviously passed by now). it also seems like all the other programs in Price (MPA, MUP) have already heard back
river_xo_song Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 I also applied in early December! I sent my official transcripts in October and was told that after I submit my application I would receive an email confirming receipt of my transcripts...but I never did. So I emailed them last month and they told me that if I'm missing something from my application they would email me and give me "ample time" to submit the material. I get the sense that they are completely overwhelmed. I have it on good authority that the number of applications to the program increased about 20% this year, so I like to think they're trying their hardest given the circumstances. I say this while also losing my mind over waiting this long ?
2020applicant... Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) I received an acceptance for the MPP-DS program this morning. No funding information included... Edited March 1, 2021 by 2020applicant... edited to include program name

The program is MPP Data Science, so I'm not completely sure if that means MPP results are also forthcoming? For reference, I applied on December 9th. Also I'll note that my portal is not updated to reflect the decision - I received it through email. Edited March 1, 2021 by 2020applicant... edited to include more info
bruindieselpwr Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Has anyone heard back from the MPA program? I applied and haven’t heard back.

There have a been a few threads discussing this but it seems like a lot of schools are posting decisions a bit later than usual and that could be due to a significant increase in the quantity of applicants for this year. Best of luck to you and I hope we hear back from Price soon.

I would check out your spam folder that's where I saw mine. I went to a US News Top 30 National University. GPA 3.6. Major in Communications double minors in Poli Sci and Public Policy. GRE: V 159, Q 155, V 5. And no real work experience, but some good undergrad internships on a presidential campaign, private comms firm, and think thank. My SOP was pretty strong and very directly focused on one issue I want to work in. My LOR were from two profs and one internships supervisor.

I got an email on March 24 which was in a spam folder. Which said I'd be a getting the letter on YouSC in the coming days and I got a notification email that that was posted on March 27. Also just want to make sure you know this is for the MPA, not the MPP. I know it's the MPP thread but I initially replied to someone asking about MPA on here. Sorry for any confusion if so!
studious_kirby Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 I just got an email saying I've been "recommended for admission"! (this is for the MPA)

Fruit Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Haven't heard back from the MPP yet... is it worth e-mailing the admissions team at this point? I'm also a little more worried since I've had an acceptance never hit my inbox and had to reach out to the program coordinator for an update—but also don't want to be leaning into my paranoia. So far, congrats everyone! ?

studious_kirby Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Would anyone be interested in a "USC Price Fall 2021 Admitted Students" facebook group or something similar, so we can get to know each other? I could make one and maybe the admissions office will help share it out It sucks that the admitted students events will have to be virtual again this year. If I set up a very casual (masked) admitted student meet-&-greet at a park near campus, would people be interested in attending? drew.m.b 1

I feel like all us admitted students are scattered so it'd be nice to have a central location to discuss things
