D-Lux Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Program Applied To: International Relations, MPA Schools Applied To: Syracuse (MPA/MAIR), Georgetown SFS, GWU Elliott, American SIS, Monterey Institute (MPA), The New School GPIA, Rangel Fellowship, Pickering Fellowship Schools Admitted To: Syracuse (MPA/MAIR, funding TBD), Monterey Institute (MPA, $), New School GPIA ($) Schools Rejected From: Rangel Fellowship Still Waiting: Georgetown SFS, GWU Elliott, American SIS Undergraduate institution: Rural public university Undergraduate GPA: 3.2 Last 60 hours of Undergraduate GPA (if applicable): 3.57 (3.88 final year) Undergraduate Major:International Studies and Spanish, minor in International Political Economy GRE Quantitative Score: 760 GRE Verbal Score: 580 (This one hurt, I was getting 100 points higher on all the practice tests.) GRE AW Score: 5.0 Years Out of Undergrad (if applicable): 6 Years of Work Experience: 6 total, 2 quite relavent, 2-3 somewhat relevant. Describe Relevant Work Experience: Taught English in Japan on the JET Program for 2 years. Currently managing a tech support group and working with both domestic and international clients. Strength of SOP (be honest, describe the process, etc): I felt like I still had more to say when I hit the word limit on most of these essays. In retrospect, I probably should have had a little less about my background and a few more specifics about the school/program. Strength of LOR (be honest, describe the process, etc): Two of them I'm sure were very good. My third was written by my former Japanese supervisor. Some ad committees may find his non-native English charming, others perhaps not. Other: Near fluent in Spanish, basic Japanese. Between my low undergrad GPA at a rural public university and my comparative lack of experience (internship? what's that?), I feel like I'm at a disadvantage compared to most people on this board. The results have been pretty encouraging so far, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm jealous - I would love to know the exact dates of decisions, I'm watching my mailbox (both email and postal) like I'm waiting for something magical to happen. Fireworks, perhaps?

yeahgradschool! Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Accepted to CMU's DC-Track today! 22K the first year, 26K the second. So I'm telling myself 24K/yr! Soo excited!! I received an email telling me to check my status online and then there was a link at the bottom of the status page to check the decision!!! At first I thought it was only 11K for the year but then I read it more carefully and it was 11K PER SEMESTER so make sure you check for that. Best of luck to those who applied to CMU and to everywhere else! These next few weeks are going to be crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StellaHaiti2 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Applied: GSPP, GSPIA, WWS, HKS, Ford School Rejected from GSPP today! Waiting for the rest. tick tock. Wish I could have started with some good news to this application cycle, but oh well. I was ill at the thought of spending $1000 just to fly in to see the place. I graduated summa cum laude from a top 10 private school majoring in ARCHITECTURE. Rare bird there it seems. However did not work in architecture but jumped straight into redevelopment consulting-community engagement-public health and now getting my feet wet doing 6 months of volunteer impact analysis in Haiti. Almost 3 years experience. Want to study policy analysis to get more quant skills to complement my background in qual analysis (interviews, focus groups, town halls, that sort of thing). I hope the rest get back soon, I made plans to visit all the East Coast schools mid March. Would suck to tour the campus, get excited, and then rejected by email!

CC139 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Does that mean LBJ will spell out names of the admitted candidates on their website? No email? I guess they will send you an email prompting you to go to the application website with your UT id -eid or simething like that- where you can find the decision letter.
