2023MPAhopeful Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Hey all, kicking this off to discuss application decisions for SIPA MIA/MPA Fall 2023. Looks like decisions came out on this day last year (2021) for Early Action but I haven't seen anything come through yet. Anyone else? Best of luck to everyone!

nerwen Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Hey, I have also been looking for the results but have heard nothing so far. For EA, just SIPA is making me wait the most, haha! In one of the previous threads, someone had mentioned that decisions are released usually on Mondays or Fridays so I guess we'll have to wait till 23rd evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023MPAhopeful Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 Circling back, just heard I'm accepted to the MPA! No word on funding yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerwen Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Congratulations! Got my letter as well early today for MPA-DP but again, no information on funding anywhere. Last year's thread mentions March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPAaspirant Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Congratulation to both of you. I got accepted to MPA as well but no word on funding which makes it an anxious wait for us till Mid-March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnnnnage_skywalker Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 CONGRATS y'all!! To the contrary, I applied for the early decision and I'm still not receiving any emails (which indicates that I'm totally f up...) I still can't believe I possibly failed, given that I'm funded from my country, scored 169 on GRE Quant, with TOEFL 110... ANYWAYS, I'm still waiting!!!!

From what I've read in previous threads, it seems like SIPA releases decisions slowly even for early applicants. I saw someone hearing back as late as early January so there's hope. Good luck!

PPAspirant Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Hi, I applied on the last day of the early application deadline. I haven't heard from the Admissions team till now. So I guess I may not have gotten in but do they not send rejection mails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Villela Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Accepted to MPA-MP! Will wait now for funding as without it this accept is basically worthless :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessKoala Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I'm an applicant in EA, and I haven't heard back as well. Is there anyone who understands this situation? They didn't reply to emails.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerwen Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 @PrincessKoalaThat is actually strange but maybe it's possible they are releasing decisions very slowly this time/in batches. So far, they have been quite quick to respond to any queries. Wonder why they aren't replying to mails any longer. I hope you hear back soon.

nmj10 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Has anyone heard regarding SIPA MIA? Looks like some MPA programs have heard responses, but to date I haven’t heard anything about MIA. best of luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublingrad Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that, if you have competitive offers from other programs, it's definitely worth reaching out to Columbia to see if they can work with you on upping your fellowship package. I reached out to the person I had been talking with for the MPA-ESP program about an offer I had received from a different program and they doubled my fellowship offer. Good luck to everyone still hearing back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They told me they will give out the remaining decision letters in March . (This is maybe because I sent the admissions new test scores after the ED due date.) Actually, you can also interpret that from their website, which says as follows (I noticed this only after later on...): Admissions Frequently Asked Questions | Columbia SIPA AFTER SUBMITTING MY APPLICATION, WHEN WILL I RECEIVE A DECISION? Decision notifications are posted to the application portal. You will receive an email when a decision is available. MIA/ MPA: Fall Early Action applicants will receive decisions by January 1, and remaining fall decisions are communicated in mid-March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dublingrad Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Hey! I reached out to Maya who brought it up to the fellowship committee who decided, in light of my interest in the ESP program and the offer I had received from UChicago, that they would up my fellowship award. Hope this helps and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

applicantgrad2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Hey you all, it seems there is a pattern over the last few years for the results to come during the 9 March-15 March period and always on Tuesday and Fridays.
