Ohh duh okay. I received 80%.

[boringriot]

has anyone that applied for the feb 5 deadline get any announcements yet? i haven't received any email so far. are rejection emails sent on the same day? (mentally preparing)

[gateau]

I received about 50%!

[tbell13579]

No funding for me...which is a bummer.  Looking like my best options so far are either SAIS (around 35%) or just going to the University of Tokyo for $4K/year tuition.

No letter yet, and no updates in the application portal. Applied for the Feb 5 deadline. Anyone else in the same boat?

[applicantgrad2023]

Any Brazilians approved for Fall 2023?

I'm an international student. I applied for their Feb 5 deadline and received an email that my decision of acceptance was available on the portal on March 14. I applied for the SIPA MIA program. Try checking the portal again and emailing them? Fingers crossed!

I fd up by submitting my application after the funding deadline. Though i got the offer, costs are unholy and I just happen to have a medical condition that'd probably prevent me from enrolling this fall. I'd emailed the admissions office asking if I could get considered for a scholarship if I deferred, but they said that this "could not be guaranteed". For some reason, the fact that they chose this wording gives me hope - does this mean I could still have a chance??? Any advice or help would be appreciated!

am also not sure if I'm that competitive in the funding pool...I'm an international student from a developing country, fresh from undergrad, w 6 months experience in a UN country office and a strong rec letter by the assistant representative. Also various other internships in journalism and global communication. but these pale in comparison with a lot of the incoming grad students here
