GW Trachtenberg MPP 2021

[mcrmpp]

Oof -- rejected! Looks like I'll be off to either American or UMD since they both gave me some good funding. Not sure how I'm going to choose so if anyone has any advice.... lmk

Everything happens for a reason! 

But I personally would go with American. Their MPP program is fairly comparable to GW. I would also look at your aid packages between the two schools to see which one has a lower overall cost of attendance if that plays a factor!

Rejected from the MPA program. The status was updated this morning. Definitely disappointing but I'm fortunate to have options between SIPA, Wagner, & McCourt. Congratulations to everyone who got in! Fantastic news and go (safely) celebrate it with loved ones.

Is anyone else still waiting?

[MPA2021]

So how long do you think they will make us wait for aid offers? That's a huge part of my decision making.

I'm still waiting

I'm late in the alphabet and I turned my application in like three days before the due date.

Still under review for me

[dallasmpa]

made an account just to say I am still waiting. applied Jan 4 to the MPA program. 

[BrooklynMPP]

Also made an account only to say I'm still waiting. Applied MPP by the day before priority deadline. 

[taxbat]

Still waiting! MPP applied January 10

[Anorthc2]

My portal just updated! I was accepted into the MPA (without funding)!

For those wondering, my GPA was 3.65 and my SOI was just okay; 7 or 8/10. My letters of rec were both very strong; 9/10 overall at least. It is coming for y'all as well.

I got in just now. No funding though.

[qwertympp]

I also just got in to the MPP program with no fellowships/assistantships.

specify MPP/MPA

[Ontic]

Just got in without a fellowship/assistantship. I didn’t expect GW to end up being affordable for me, but it’s nice to formally put it in the “no” column. 

[undergoat88]

If they don't get back to anyone with funding tonight, ima email them tomorrow to ask when they are going to tell people. I can't afford to wait much longer because I need to negotiate with other schools ASAP

Got into the MPP, but with no fellowships/ assistantships. Didn't get the decision until yesterday evening, saw it on portal sometime around 7:30, email at 8:03.

I'm still waiting too! I was worried I was the only one. 

-- MPP, last name H, applied Feb 1

[LaMarca]

Finally heard back that I was accepted for MPP! they said they would send an email on funding "shortly", whatever that means. Please post if you hear back on funding! Hard to make a decision otherwise.

I emailed this morning. Nothing yet! Stay tuned

[sl28]

I emailed asking about funding timelines and was told funding details email will go out 5-10 business days after an admission offer and that they are working hard to get the information out as soon as possible. Really hope it is not another week of this...
