smerd Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 A little bird told me that the application review is done. Just about every year over the past few, the results have come by mail in the first week of March. It is the first week of March now. Do fellow board members see where I'm going with this? Let the fretting begin!
abaabeel Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Oh..OK..Seems like the waiting game is going to end soon. Most of the universities are going to announce admits during the first two weeks, NO?
Nimesis Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I'm not sure if we're going to hear from Goldman this week. Most of the people who heard from GSPP last year got notice in mid-March, which is consistent with what they stated in their email correspondence. Still, it would be nice to hear from anyone who does hear from them before then.
skeedy Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) It looks like from previous results trends that mid-March has been the Judgement Day(s)... BUT the minute I saw this topic my stomach dropped - I'm so nercited! (Nervous/excited) I hope it is this week!!! Edit: I'm wrong! Many Fall 2010 applicants DID hear back in the first wk! Aiiieeeeee!

coffee_fan Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) I'm jumping the gun here, but does anyone know when GSPP's admit day(s) will be? Just trying to plan visiting all the schools...if admitted of course! It looks like from previous results trends that mid-March has been the Judgement Day(s)...

mushroom288 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Hi folks! Long wait for GSPP is nearly over. I've just received an email with offer several hours ago. The admit days are 6 April in Berkeley and March 31 in Washington DC. Good luck everybody! I'm jumping the gun here, but does anyone know when GSPP's admit day(s) will be? Just trying to plan visiting all the schools...if admitted of course!
RicolaAnyone Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Congrats mushroom288! I didn't get an email - does this mean my hopes of attending GSPP are long gone? Seems like both email and postal notifications went out last year? Trying to hold onto the tiny sliver of hope I still have...

Seems like both email and postal notifications went out last year? Trying to hold onto the tiny sliver of hope I still have... From what I can gather from last year, GSPP emailed applicants who are currently abroad/not in the U.S. as well as sent them snail mail, but they ONLY notified domestic applicants via postal. Am I onto something? Mushroom288 is that your situation?

Am I onto something? Mushroom288 is that your situation? Mushroom's location does say Asia-Pacific.
mushroom288 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Yes - that's right. I'm an international student. Fingers crossed everyone - good luck. Hopefully we'll be studying together in 5 months -EEK!!!! Mushroom's location does say Asia-Pacific.
coffee_fan Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Congrats Mushroom! And thanks for the dates! Hi folks! Long wait for GSPP is nearly over. I've just received an email with offer several hours ago. The admit days are 6 April in Berkeley and March 31 in Washington DC. Good luck everybody!
skeedy Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Yes - that's right. I'm an international student. Fingers crossed everyone - good luck. Hopefully we'll be studying together in 5 months -EEK!!!! Thanks for the reply mushroom. And I can't believe I forgot to say- CONGRATULATIONS! You are awesome.
legs Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Just got the email that I was rejected... ah well. axia90 1
415mrr617 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Same here, reeeeejected from GSPP, my first choice. That's life.
indisabelle Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Got rejected too. 2 rejection and no admission so far...
smerd Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 Same here, reeeeejected from GSPP, my first choice. That's life. Just wanted to say: I remember reading on this board that folks who got rejected from GSPP were later admitted to HKS and other great schools. So keep your chin up--good news could be on the way soon!

Energizer Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Admitted to GSPP (MPP) - relief! Good luck to all those who are yet to hear back :-)
RicolaAnyone Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 This has me on pins and needles - I didn't get ANY email from GSPP yet. They are definitely switching up the process as opposed to last year, when people weren't notified of rejections via email (or so says the Results page). I guess I'll just have to sit tight a bit longer? Did any domestic applicants out there get an acceptance notification?
skeedy Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Le Sigh - got the rejection email too! GSPP wasn't my "top choice" (actually, I suppose I don't have one?) but it never feels good, right? Even though I *thought* I'd be leaving California, this guarantees it (Cal was my only West Coast school)... SO even this rejection has been exciting/life changing! AHHH! I am so proud/excited for all of you that got in, and let me know if you have questions as I've been in Berkeley for almost 2 years Edited March 3, 2011 by skeedy
RicolaAnyone Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 For those who were rejected via email, who was the sender? I so expected to be rejected that I'm actually worried that I accidentally deleted it, it got stuck in a spam folder, etc. etc. even though I've checked my inbox multiple times & don't recall deleting anything related to GSPP.....ok yeah, I'm officially wiggin' out.

The email was from a gsppadm@socrates.berkeley.edu address. I'm sure they have to send things in batches given the sheer number of applicants.
kyeulsa Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Also rejected from GSPP - but already admitted to Gtown and USC (with full scholarship). Disappointing but here's to us all getting in to other great programs!
julia9109 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I am so nervous. Haven't heard anything yet but I got a weird message last week saying they still needed my official transcript, even though I received an application complete email in January and my college says they sent my transcript last November. The next few days are going to suck.
MPPmaestrocal Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 For those that have been admitted, any word on the scholarships or funding? Did anyone who applied to these hear results about the Javits Political Leadership Scholarship?
