cmoz01 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 i checked the website (no email) and they tell me a decision was made yesterday sat the 26th, but that i have to wait 48-72 hours to see my decision on the website...this is ridiculous they cant just write accepted/rejected?.. now im going to be obsessively checking the website every few hours for 1-2 days...why couldnt they post nothing at all until i can see the decision??

mellowyellow03 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I just checked my application status after reading @cmoz01 post and the same thing with me. A decision was made on 2/25 but I have to wait 48-72 hours to view the letter online. So this will definitely add to my paranoia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgreenster Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 My application status still hasn't changed. I had that email last week, but haven't heard anything official and none of my information online has changed. Are you going onto apra, and then hitting "application status" to get that message? That's torturous that they're putting up a thing saying "we know but won't tell you." What the heck? What is the point of doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Ash Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Oof! They are trying to make us crazy people. My page also says a decision was made 2/25, yadda yadda yadda. I did decide to call them again on Thursday... figured it couldn't hurt me, only ease my curiousity... they said that they anticipated beginning to mail letters out on Friday or Monday and that it may take a few days to get all the letters mailed out. so in addition to this development, we should be getting letters this week. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoz01 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Has anyone had their ASF status updated yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgreenster Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Still nothing. Mine doesn't say anything about a decision having been made, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readyornot Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Mine still says I have to wait up to 72 hours (but that status was posted on 2/25, so likely that period has passed..) hoping to get something in the mail soon I guess. Seems they really want us to read the hard copies first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowyellow03 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 My letter is finally available and I'm in!!!! No mention of funding. It was definitely a little bit over 72 hours - I was about to give up for the day thinking they probably meant business days. K.Ash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Ash Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Ditto to what mellowyellow said!! Glad my OCD forced me to check one more last time tonight. Wish it talked about funding but honestly, this was the program I felt least likely to get into so I am THRILLED! good luck everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoz01 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Acceptance! My letter didnt mention funding either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgreenster Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'm just curious - is this all through that standard apra sign-in? Mine doesn't even seem to have a place for a decision... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoz01 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Go to the ASF application and then click on check application status and it will tell you. I think the APRA sign in thing youre talking about is different but Im not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readyornot Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I got in as well! And ditto on not mentioning funding.. has anyone contacted to find out when we will hear about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readyornot Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Letter came in the mail today, but was identical to online pdf.. so no additional info. Does anyone know how we find out about funding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgreenster Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I don't really know what's going on with them. I've gotten nothing online, and nothing in the mail, after that kind of random email two weeks ago. I was told when applying for the fellowship (3 weeks ago) that the admission decision would be made by now, and I "may" know funding at that time. I'm not sure if they're waiting to send me an official admit until after decisions are made on the two fellowships, but the silence is making me insane.

K.Ash Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Got my official letter in the mail yesterday too - same exact thing posted online w/nothing else. I'll probably call Monday to see when we'll hear about funding. Sorry you're kind of left hanging right now, bgreenster! Hopefully you'll have a letter by Monday.

understatement700 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I also haven't heard back yet, nothing on the website either. They initially had said they expected to have decisions out by mid-February. For what it's worth, I also applied for the Robertson Foundation for Government Fellowship, for which they said we would be notified early March.

setiadi Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I received an email asking/conforming my postal mail address. On an attached letter to the email, it is stated that I am accepted to Maryland School of Public Policy but they are not able to provide financial support. Anyone received a similar email?

sjw528 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Just heard back via snail mail--I'm in! But no financial support the decision letter came in a red UMD folder with details about their admitted students day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellowyellow03 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 My letter was the exact same letter that was posted online. Nothing else. I wonder why everyone is getting different things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readyornot Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hi all, Just called the Maryland admissions office. They said that everyone will be getting a packet in the mail, they started sending them about a week ago but aren't quite done yet. Will include all the info we want/need (finances, deadlines, etc). Ugh I want mine now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
understatement700 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks for the heads up. FWIW, I live in DC and haven't gotten anything yet via snail mail, nor have I gotten an email, nor has the status of my application changed on the website.

bgreenster Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I still haven't gotten anything either, although I guess I expected it to take this long due to the fellowships... I'm only considering going if the aid package is impossible to deny I hate not knowing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Ash Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I got the package in the mail today. There was a letter welcoming me to the program. Part of it said "We are unsure at this point whether we will be able to grant you financial support. We will contact you further on this matter only if our efforts to secure funding for you are successful." I interpret that to mean its HIGHLY unlikely I'm getting anything from them I didn't think I had a great chance of getting in to begin with - don't have much of a quantitative background - so I'm not too surprised by that. the packet also had an agenda for the admitted students day, info on classes for the Fall, a program overview, and an admitted students 'dates to remember' sheet.
