Admissions emailed me and said that they are trying to have decisions made by March 1st.

Did you email them or they just randomly emailed you this? For the Ford MPP right?

I emailed them about two weeks ago asking if it would be at all possible for a decision to be made at the end of February due to extenuating circumstances on my end, they responded yesterday saying they will try to have decisions out by March 1st.

Good to know! Do you think it'll be the same for Public Policy & Poli Sci? I still haven't understood which juries decide on applications to the joint track, whether there's a special public policy jury or whether they are all decided by the respective department (socio, poli sci, econ). Do you know?

Similar question: what about econ track?

I saw a post from January 26th which an Economics and Public Policy acceptance. Considering sociology track hasn't made any decisions, but there was a random acceptance in the econ track, it would be worth reaching out to them and asking, especially as it's been a month since then.

If I am not mistaken, I saw an acceptance on February 8th with Public Policy and Political Science. One random acceptance (per the poster) followed by radio silence for almost three weeks with everyone else is also strange. I would reach out to them as well. 

 

I personally did not ask about either program, so that's why I would suggest reaching out. And it took me two weeks to get a reply, it could very well be the same in terms of response time.

Any news about MPP results?

[HDBokchoy]

I applied to the Ford MPP program but haven't heard back yet either. Heard back from Duke Sanford, so I'm really just waiting to hear back from Ford and UChicago.

Apologies for the double post, but for those still waiting on Ford's MPP decisions: they're being released in two days according to their Instagram!
