SaraDC Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Oh my gosh - I'm in. No funding, but I'm in. Wow. This is the first program I've heard back from. Crazy.
CC139 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I didn't apply here, guys, but good luck to you. I hope you all get in
hippieva Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Also received notification today. In, but no $$. Best of luck to everyone out there.
greendiplomat Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Yay! Congrats everyone! And for those not fortunate enough to be in the 10% of first-years that get funding, I know the uncertainty's a bit of a turn-off, but do recall that 70% of 2nd-years (pretty much everyone that gets a 3.4 or above in their first term, apparently) get funding in their second year, the median award of which is 21K (with a handful getting full-rides). More numbers here: http://sipa.columbia.edu/resources_services/financial_aid/types_aid.html. Looking forward to talking to a few of you on the admitted student's forum. I'll probably be the annoying one answering everyone's questions despite not being a current student (since I've accumulated quite a bit of info during my undergrad years at Columbia and then during my year off with too much time on my hands), so I'll probably be VERY easy to flag down.
gratas Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 did you guys get an email telling you to check the system? still nothing here congrats to everyone, though!
lotus_seed Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Congrats to everyone who got in!!!!! I don't have any update yet.........But knowing my luck, I will probably be among the last ones to receive a notification.
musicguy595 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Accepted!!!!!!!! No funding, though. Edited March 8, 2011 by musicguy595
lotus_seed Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Nothing for me either.... did you guys get an email telling you to check the system? still nothing here congrats to everyone, though!
lotus_seed Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Congratulations!!! Did you get an e-mail or checked the admissions site directly? Accepted!!!!!!!! No funding, though.
gratas Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 did you apply for MPA or MIA? I applied to MPA - IFEP concentration. perhaps it has something to do with specific departments? looks like its another ....indeterminate amount of waiting
Luiz Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Those of you who got accepted anyone international? I haven't heard anything yet. I'm freaking out.
Diesel2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Looks like I am in the 35% who get to wait a little longer Oh well, good things come to those who wait. right? Let's hope so... steven22 1
Fong Sai Yuk Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Those of you who got accepted anyone international? I haven't heard anything yet. I'm freaking out. I am with you my friend! ..... Terrible experience not knowing when to expect anything now .. The admission blog mentioned only something about the first load (65%) today. The rest is rolling. Good luck sleeping tonight

I haven't heard anything yet. I'm freaking out. As indicated in the blog post that SarahL shared, "[h]ow long it takes to review a file is largely dependent upon scheduling and coordination among the Committee members and it should not be a cause of concern if you have to wait longer than some other individuals to receive a decision". Being nervous/antsy about your decision is totally understandable, but don't start worrying about not having received a notification, it'll come in due time. greendiplomat 1
Luiz Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I haven't read that new post. That's recomforting. Expectations are up, still. How great would it be to be admitted at your birthday? Let's hope for the best tomorrow. Do you guys think that the remaining 35% will be those admitted with $$$, since many of the people already in didn't receive any?

Let's hope for the best tomorrow. Do you guys think that the remaining 35% will be those admitted with $$, since many of the people already in didn't receive any? Since funding is only for 15%, and since I read a post of somebody already receiving some aid, I believe the answer is no.. sorry steven22 and greendiplomat 1 1

Insight is always welcome! Glad to have you as a resource. For everyone else waiting - don't worry. I'll still be right there with you updating screens every five seconds/minutes from now until March 24. A watched pot is quick to boil, right?

Let's hope for the best tomorrow. Do you guys think that the remaining 35% will be those admitted with $$, since many of the people already in didn't receive any? I do remember hearing somewhere (last year's thread?) that in the past, many of those receiving $$ didn't get notification in the first wave of emails. So I think there is some reason to be optimistic if you're holding out for funding. But keep in mind, the remaining 35% won't all be admits.
braindead Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Yippie!!! I just checked my e-mail! Am so glad to have been accepted to Columbia's MPA! No funding though! Edited March 8, 2011 by braindead
Diesel2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Anyone else applied for the MPA-DP program? I also applied to the MPA-DP. The applicants for the DP program are reviewed by a different committee. So, that it probably part of the reason why we were not in the main group.

laks0004 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Anyone else applied for the MPA-DP program? I applied MPA DP as well, no results yet. The wait's killing me!
