surprisecake Posted February 19, 2011 Author Posted February 19, 2011 Finally... some news for me. Admitted to SPEA's MSES program
seahawk2k Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Finally... some news for me. Admitted to SPEA's MSES program Congrats! Are you going to the admitted student's day?
2shieh Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Finally... some news for me. Admitted to SPEA's MSES program Congrats! When did you submit your application?
surprisecake Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 @ seahawk- No, I don't expect to be in the US until mid August! @2shieh- I submitted my application on the November 29 but my TOEFL scores were late, so I only got the email informing me that my packet was complete and under review on Jan 8. I got impatient with the news of other peoples' admits so I emailed them Feb 17 and got the response 2 days later. I don't think they were in any hurry to notify me if I hadn't asked
kmcnyc Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Update! I was accepted at Duke MEM with a $7000 scholarship and $2900 assistantship! Not sure if it is only for 1 year or for both. Any other updates? Congrats. I spoke to an admissions rep back in the fall, and she told me that the committee wouldn't begin looking at applications until mid-February. As a result, I didn't submit mine until late January. Now I wish I had gotten my application in sooner. It would be great to already have a decision ...
akkyy21 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I got in too! Without any scholarship though I got into CMU MISM with 2k schol / sem. Wondering which one would be a better fit now.
surprisecake Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 Here's a thread for environmental science applicants who have a minor focus in policy:
compost&recycle Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Just received my acceptance to Duke Nicholas School via e-mail prompting me to the Apply yourself website. They offered a little bit of a scholarship (although not enough to make me take the prerequisites and move to Durham).

seahawk2k Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I got in too! Without any scholarship though I got into CMU MISM with 2k schol / sem. Wondering which one would be a better fit now. So if the acceptance letter did not mention funding that means we didn't get any? If so, that makes my decision a little easier!
seahawk2k Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I found out I was accepted to Arizona State University SOS. Pretty excited but I am still waiting for financial aid.
compost&recycle Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 What do you consider a little bit? (sorry for being nosy saeahawk2k: they offered $6K for the first year, and $3K for the second year. Considering the tuition, I doubt it is going to make me chose Duke over Berkeley, which is much more affordable due to in-state tuition and an additional (modest) fellowship.
surprisecake Posted March 5, 2011 Author Posted March 5, 2011 I found out I was accepted to Arizona State University SOS. Pretty excited but I am still waiting for financial aid. Do you mind sharing how/when you were notified? I have been waiting on their results for a while.

Considering the tuition, I doubt it is going to make me chose Duke over Berkeley, which is much more affordable due to in-state tuition and an additional (modest) fellowship. Thanks. How did you know what they offered for the second year? I have emailed to ask if the scholarship is the same for the second year but they have not replied.
seahawk2k Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Do you mind sharing how/when you were notified? I have been waiting on their results for a while. I was notified by email that I was admitted last Friday. Then when I checked/online it said admitted.
compost&recycle Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Thanks. How did you know what they offered for the second year? I have emailed to ask if the scholarship is the same for the second year but they have not replied. seahawk2k: the letter stated the scholarship amount for both the first and the second year.
