StellaHaiti2 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Rejected At least I got an acceptance right before that from the Ford School, so it wasn't as completely devastating as it could have been. I would have gone to Princeton though, no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no good or bad, if they charge so high and no funding provided, you are just using money to buy the name of the school i suppose. Schools make money for running master degree like SIPA.

That is what i am trying to gauge if it would do me any incremental benefit to do it from SIPA... is there any leverage on the debt in terms of better exposure, better jobs etc ?

Urban Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Rejected :-( Is it possible to reach out to the school/university to get on the waitlist or discuss why I didn't get through? Got into HKS, SIPA and Brown; but WWS was first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got into HKS, SIPA and Brown; but WWS was first choice. Well, WWS has a lower admission rate than all the other schools you got into -I believe it's the harder program to get in of all of them. Still, you could potentially send and email asking about any weaknesses in your application. In your shoes, I woudn't sweat it. Your decision is really difficult as it is. You got into awesome programs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks, cc139. I am leaning towards HKS, but SIPA is a good program too - tough decision. I was wondering why I didn't get into WWS. My gre score was Quant=790,Verbal=700 and writing=4.5. I also have 6 yrs work ex and a previous masters, as well as good recos. Heartbreaking since I've wanted to go to WWS for years, but waited to get decent work ex. :-( Well, WWS has a lower admission rate than all the other schools you got into -I believe it's the harder program to get in of all of them.

Aoteroa Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hi - I was amazed to get in to WWS and get full tuition plus $25K stipend on the MPP program (might be more as our summer program is longer). Pretty difficult to turn that down, but still considering HKS. Got mine on Friday. Full tuition + $22k living stipend each year. Pretty unbelievable!
