After a less than relaxing weekend, I get to spend another otherwise stress-free day at work constantly updating applyyourself, this forum and the results survey. Welcome back friends.... sorry I didn't put my reply above. I really have nothing more to say as hudwa put it perfectly. Here's to another unproductive work day.

wanderingwonderer Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Congrats on ur acceptance....I actually heard of people requiring to take english courses before the semester starts, and few had to carry on with additional english classes in their first year of study... quick question to the international students that got accepted into MPA-DP, would you mind sharing your work experience, im just trying to gauge, what time of exprience these type of schools are looking for....thanks! Hi Beekline, I have about 6 years of work experience. First 3 years as a strategic management consultant for a private consulting firm with projects around South East Asia, last 3 years as strategic planning manager at an international development organization. Graduated from a state uni in Indonesia. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudwa Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 So nothing has been sent out today?! No updates on the forum and no updates on the results survey. So it's looking like nothing has gone out yet today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eigenvector Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I received an email (I think for the 3rd time) about the MA program in Climate and Society at Columbia, though I'm yet awaiting a decision from SIPA on the MPA. Is there any rationale behind spamming current year applicants? Or does it simply mean that I've been rejected at SIPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcenergygirl Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 are you on some kind of list serve for that specific society? i'm waiting to hear about the MPA as well and am not getting any emails of that kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already got in, and they still send the same emails! also around the time you received it today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they might be hoping in that case, on how to poach students even at the last moment . Inter-departmental rivalry at play, it seems.

hudwa Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Everyone who is still waiting for a response, would you mind posting the date and time that you submitted your application? Maybe this is "rolling" in the sense that there is some correlation between when we submitted and when we will hear back from them. You can check the exact time on applyyourself, clicking on "Application for Admissions" then checking the box on the right hand side.

Unless everyone who didn't submit on 1/5/12 is being considered for funding. I hope we all are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
