qwertympp Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hi guys, I figured these decisions would be coming out soon and that we might want to start a thread. Anybody have news yet? I haven't heard anything since they emailed me Feb 16th saying my application was officially under review and they'd get back to me in 4-6 weeks (currently in week 3).

hholly77 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 not yet and it's stressing me out! I applied to the MPA program. Anorthc2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthc2 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Still not yet. And my two friends haven't heard anything yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertympp Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'm really hoping today is the day, but if they're actually going by the 4-6 week email they sent out a while back, 4 weeks will be this upcoming Tuesday. Anorthc2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPPNYC Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I applied by the Feb 1 deadline, so it's just short of 6 weeks. I'm surprised how much slower they are at responding compared to the schools that I would consider equivalent institutions!

Anorthc2 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Aside from my rec letters, I finished my application in October and submitted everything before the Jan. 15th deadline (I think that was the one for fellowships). Tuesday, March 15th is exactly 6 weeks after the 1st. 6 weeks after we received the email on February 15th would be (God forbid) March 30th.

The GW Colombian College of Arts and Sciences has their admitted students events starting in late March with the first being March 25. I know that’s not Trachtenberg specific, but I can’t imagine results coming out later than the college beginning admitted student events.

MPA2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I felt like I was going crazy today, so I emailed admissions about any updates to the decision timeline to ease the anxiety. Of course I have not heard back. Hoping for Monday!! Anorthc2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxbat Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I haven't heard anything and I applied back in January. I'm trying not to hold my breath too much since it seems they historically do not offer competitive funding. Doesn't stop me from checking my email/portal 5 times a day though.. undergoat88 and Anorthc2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on there when I initially started looking at which schools to apply to in October, which I wrote down all the way back then. I can't find it anymore either so maybe it is a false statement on my part now...ugh SORRY i hope it is true for all of our sakes ?

taxbat Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) They have to be one of the last schools at this point. April 15th is only a month away...Does anyone know approximately what the acceptance rate is? Edited March 15, 2021 by taxbat Anorthc2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthc2 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I've actually been looking for it and can't find it anywhere. Their website isn't very user-friendly and it seems they don't put much info out there for the public. Even finding simple program info wasn't easy.

MPA2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 So response from admissions: If you submitted your application by the February 1st priority deadline, you should be hearing back soon. Very vague - really hoping for today! undergoat88, Anorthc2, maham and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maham Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I'm not sure if it means anything, but when i signed on to check my application portal earlier it had me reset my password. Very hopeful for news tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very hopeful for news tonight! It's probably had me do that 3 times over the past 5 months. I don't think it means anything, unfortunately. It also gets really annoying because they won't let you use old passwords. maham and undergoat88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly after a year of remote learning you would think the website would be stronger, noticed this with several schools I applied to. undergoat88 and Anorthc2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hholly77 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I think it is weird that they would update the portal over night... my guess is that it is a fluke. Maybe that means we can expect to hear back today? Anorthc2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarvc Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Mine says under review too, and I applied back in December hholly77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPP2021n Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Yeah. I applied by the Feb. 1 deadline as well. Probably a fluke but I wouldn’t be surprised if they came out today. Anorthc2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
