younglions Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 To add, I must say I am impressed with the Director of Admissions at Chicago. Although I probably would have sent out an e-mail to all applicants notifying that decisions would be a few days after the announced date, she's obviously working hard to get decisions out as soon as she can. I think she just needs some more bodies around the office to get work done.
AllOverthePlace Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Congratulations Younglions! That's amazing! Do you know where you'll end up?
younglions Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 No I haven't decided yet. Whenever I receive my admissions packet from Princeton (I'm terrified of it getting lost in international mail), I'll probably decline my offers to CMU and Fletcher. Both are great schools, and both offered generous scholarships, but they just can't compete financially with Chicago or Princeton. Good luck... I'm sure you'll hear tomorrow.
maidinindya Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Got into Harris MPP as well. Full tuition plus 10K. E-mail was just after midnight as stated previously.
dagger Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Wow. Congratulations to you both. I am very envious!
jonpkduq Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 In with 21k...glad to finally hear from them. Wish I got the same love as the first two admits in this thread though!
dagger Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 In with 21k...glad to finally hear from them. Wish I got the same love as the first two admits in this thread though! Congratulations! As it would appear the funding packages seem to be diminishing throughout the course of the day I think as does the probability of my admittance/full tuition package. :wink:
pritinsp Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Any further offers from Harris? we can check out the diminishing funding theory! I have heard nothing yet.. so would very much be interested in figuring this out
MCneelified06 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Confirmed. In with substantial money but less than $21K.
nicolesuza Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I'm hoping maybe they're doing acceptances alphabetically, since my last names starts with a Z! :wink:
nicolesuza Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Oh lord, on the off-chance that's true, I hope they don't also do rejections alphabetically!
AllOverthePlace Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 are they emailing rejections out today too or are those tomorrow? MCneelified06-- what time did you get your acceptance email?
mpppp Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Congrats to all those admitted so far! My letter says, "Specific information detailing the conditions of your award for the coming year and fellowship renewal procedures for future years can be found on the enclosed Aid Agreement." My attachments are the OntheMappFlyer, Planning Guide, and a pdf of the letter with my last name as the file name. I can't seem to find an Aid Agreement in the materials I have. Has anyone else? Am I overlooking it?
mpp2011 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I'm in! With a half-tuition scholarship! Very, very excited. Congrats to the other admits, and best of luck to those still waiting.
chellie99 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Just got the email - in, also with a half-tuition scholarship.
AllOverthePlace Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Any other acceptances? I'm just waiting for a rejection email now. Oh well. Dagger-- have you heard anything?
lymhelen Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I've received my admission with $21K. Kind of confused on the total expenses posted in Harris website, does it cost $56k in total for a year? Why so expensive?
dagger Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Any other acceptances? I'm just waiting for a rejection email now. Oh well. Dagger-- have you heard anything? Nothing. No idea what the hold up is. However, judging from the results page, it does appear that no new acceptance/rejections have gone out today. I was genuinely excited yesterday about the prospect of an admission and a decent financial package but today I'm rather pessimistic about my prospects. In all likelihood, more admittances will go out today, but I question the level of funding. No funding would make Chicago too unaffordable. Let me know what you hear.
pritinsp Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I just got an admit to the one year AM program. No funding. Quite disappointed. Admits: USC (half tuition); GPPI (MPM) ; Syracuse Maxwell ; Harris school (1 year AM )
pritinsp Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Dear xnormajeanx I wanted some information on the 1 year MA course. I applied for this since I already have a MBA. Do students of the 1 year course take the same classes as MPP students? Is it just a condensed form of the MPP course? So will the fees also be considerably less? What about recognition of this course? is it on par with the MPP? Look forward to hearing from you. Thx!
OD09 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I've received my admission with $21K. Kind of confused on the total expenses posted in Harris website, does it cost $56k in total for a year? Why so expensive? I'm in the same boat, lymhelen. I love the program, but 21K/year scholarship still means 35K/year out of pocket. I can't afford that.
wabbitt09 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Much to my surprise, I'm in. Not what expected, given I nearly no quant background at all. I understand it's a very quant based program...
