joshyboy Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Got an acceptance call from Duke on Sunday morning at 11am PST, was surprised that they called over the weekend, but they're planning to send the emails sometime this week on Tuesday or Wednesday. Person on the call was a student ambassador and she was brilliant and so friendly. Anyone else heard back from Duke? Curious what sort of FinAid I get!
van_96 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Some of us have been posting in the Duke thread in the "Waiting it Out" subsection, but I imagine they'll migrate to this thread now that acceptances are rolling out. I was surprised they called over the weekend too. Hoping for a good offer!
MPP2021app Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Just got the call this evening! Was anxious since people seemed to be getting calls over the weekend..
visiblevariation Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Applied for the MPP cycle and haven't heard back yet! Although I've only heard of domestic students getting acceptance calls, I'm not super hopeful at this point ?
MPP2021app Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 On the phone, the person said the portal would be updated by Wed.
policykid10 Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 So is it that we should get emails today and the portal updated tomorrow?

Since they have been making calls the past few days to domestic applicants, I don't think we will get an email until the portal is updated with results + funding info.
Argentina Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 No email news right? I’m freaking out with this delays
joshyboy Posted March 9, 2021 Author Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Just got an email from Duke with 34k in funding (over 2 years), two 4k assistantships, and 2.5k stipend for summer internship funding. Fingers crossed y'all get some great financial aid too! Edited March 9, 2021 by joshyboy
van_96 Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Just got the email. 25k in funding/year, plus 4k each for two assistantships in the middle two semesters and up to a 2500 stipend for a summer internship. I assume those last two components are standard for everyone.
TKMPP Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Got the email as well after getting the call earlier this week, $33k per year and the two $4k assistantships and $2.5k internship funding!
visiblevariation Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Has anyone gotten a rejection so far? I haven't gotten a phone call & it seems like my email/portal haven't been updated yet. It seems like rejections will be sent out later. Congrats to all those that've been accepted!
TMRII Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Accepted, no email or anything, just happened to check my portal
mppapplicant2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Got the call this weekend and then got an email today -- funding is $33k per year, two $4k assistantships, and $2.5k internship funding!
Argentina Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Congrats to all the accepted ones! Just to be clear, are you all US applicants? Did any international student receive an update?

Argentina Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 did someone applied to the MIDP? Or the ones that are getting an answer are all from the MPP program?
visiblevariation Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 International applicant to MPP here. Just got waitlisted today (Mar 10).

Congrats to you! I got a similar package - $25K per year, two $4k assistantships, and $2.5k internship funding. Do you think you will accept the offer? I am still waiting to hear back from Goldman MPP (it is my top choice) but am not sure about my chances.
MadEye Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Hi, is there anyone with low undergrad GPA? My GPA comes around at 2.8-3 when converted from the Indian percentage system. I got a feeling while applying that Sanford gives considerable weightage to the undergrad score as they asked us for conversion and all which no other school did. Also, on their site they mentioned GPA range as 3.2-3.8. I have relevant work-ex of 5 years with GRE is 327 and have been waitlisted. Just anxious about what might happen in other decisions. Any thoughts?
qwertympp Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Okay I got 37.5k but it says "which will be disbursed in equal installments each semester in which Sanford is your home institution/school and you are in good academic standing" are y'all interpreting that as per year or for the entire two years? I read it as for all four semester of the program so each semester being a little over 9k. Am I misinterpreting?
applicant1313 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Mine also said XX per year which will be disbursed in equal installments each semester. I would definitely follow up with them if you are considering accepting the offer.
Minang Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Hi Argentina, I applied and accepted to the MIDP..Did you too?
