EscapingBrexit Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I figured we should probably have a place for the potential Fletcher mafia to talk. How are we feeling? I've really warmed up to the MALD program and Boston in general. It looks like a great place to live. I think someone said results will be out in mid-March, but that might have been a GradCafe-fuelled nightmare dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajak568 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Just today I got an offer from Tufts Econ/Policy PhD program (program in both the Econ Dept and the Fletcher school). I anticipate the conversation on this thread will focus mostly on Master's programs, but I hope y'all will accept me! I figure maybe folks might want to compare notes on anything you learn about housing in the area, especially? If there are any social media groups or group texts, etc. for prospective Fletcher students, include me, please! I'm seriously considering accepting the offer. Good luck to everyone!

I also got accepted to a joint program. I guess the results of joint programs are released earlier than MALD. I found a Facebook group for the 2021 incoming class at Fletcher, not sure if the admin is active, but you could give it a try.

Thanks! I was able to find the group and request to join. Hopefully the admin lets me in. Which program were you admitted to? Do you think you'll end up enrolling?

egghorse Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 If it helps (probs doesn't), early admission decisions were sent out at 3:16pm EST this year. Anyone else waiting on funding info from the early round? Do you think we'll hear today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAKET32 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Got into the MALD program. Straight from undergrad, international student. Not my first choice since I already got in SAIS but will keep Fletcher as an option! Congrats to everyone who got in! We went through it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscapingBrexit Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Also in to MALD with a pretty decent funding package. Very relieved as I've really warmed up to the program! Happy I hope everyone else made it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
academiaenthusiast Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Got $50k for two years but needed more. Anyway, will try to negotiate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsbenr99 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Got in with under 10K, super happy to be admitted to my top choice but kinda bummed since this might have to be a no purely due to FA. Fingers crossed for negotiations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodvibesonly Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Got into MALD but will not accept the offer because I also got accepted to SFS! Hopefully someone gets my spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoinggrad2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Yay everybody! I am into the MALD program with a little less funding than I wanted but still thrilled nonetheless. Already into BU for Econ with aid and American for International Economics too. Waiting for SIPA by end of the week hopefully! 3/4 ain't bad.

Ravine55 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Congrats everyone! I got into MALD with $24K in total funding. I needed more, so I'll probably decline and hopefully one of you will get it. h__itea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francophile_1 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 In with around 20K per year for funding. Very compelling offer for me now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visiblevariation Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Congrats everyone! I just got in, straight from undergrad but my international experiences before/during undergrad likely helped. I got $32k in total funding, so $16k per year. Tufts is my top choice but I may not be able to afford it! Hoping that the financial aid appeal process goes well.

ofet74545 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Does anyone have any tips on the financial aid appeal process? I got in with aid but likely not enough for me to attend. visiblevariation and MA_humanrights 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2ear Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Congrats y'all! I'm into the CSPP program at Fletcher, no info on funding yet (or maybe there's no funding?) Fletcher is my top choice, but am waiting for Heinz and other schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2ear Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Anyone heard anything yet about the financial aid or FAFSA from the admission office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
