Ace001 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 @daphnesun: Are you sure International Applicants are placed in a separate pool? I would imagine that international students cases are more time sensitive considering visa process and logistics... why would universities delay their process?

Ah, No Offense to them, but you just can not expect they think the same way as us do. I got a response email from GPPI, to one I sent ahead, telling that I should be expecting a response within 2-4weeks. Hope this would help!
DCReservist Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Hi everyone, I received an email saying that I was recommended for admission to GPPI on February 3. I was also told that I was a candidate for merit aid consideration, and submitted a short statement. They said that I would receive an update on their funding decision by February 17, but nothing came today. Has anyone heard back, or is this likely a sign that I received no funding? Thanks for any info!
UG13 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I didn't get any decision today on funding - still waiting I was also recommended for admission on Feb. 3 and was asked to provide an essay/statement of interest by Feb. 8, and that I would receive an update Feb. 17.
Azrou Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Based on previous years' posts I would not be surprised if they don't get aid decisions for this round out for another week or two.

Thanks for any info! THIS IS JOYOUS NEWS FOR ME! XD I was holding out for a merit-based scholarship statement request since I noticed there was actually one person who received that email after the preliminary acceptance email. Fortunately, I received that email earlier today =D They're asking for my statement by Wednesday, Feb 22 and will announce funding decisions be Feb 27.

cannotdecide Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 So....if I didn't get a preliminary acceptance letter and I applied Jan 17...does this mean I am just not accepted or is this specifically for people they accepted and are considering giving funding to? Getting sad.
orangesplease Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 When I read last year's GPPI thread, it seems that they definitely accept some folks in March. I would think if they really didn't want you, they would send a rejection letter.
Ace001 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 So I hear from the business school (I'm a dual degree applicant), invited for an interview but no word from PPI...
agregg Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 question: if they offer you a scholarship and its a given amount but "renewable after the second year", but they state the scholarship as a flat amount, does that mean thats the amount is the total amount were both years? Or is this an annual amount or per-semester?
orangesplease Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 I don't know conclusively, but I would think you would receive that amount for the year and that amount would be renewable year 2. Do you mind sharing how much you were awarded?
Azrou Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Received a 7.5k/year offer today. Had my fingers crossed for more, but $15k less debt would be nothing to sneeze at.
DancesWithDogs Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 7.5 k too something is better than nothing!
orangesplease Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Just finished drafting my scholarship statement. Need to submit it by 2pm PST tomorrow. Hoping they have more to dole out o_O
agregg Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 10k here, at first I thought it was totaled but looks like its renewable so unsure.
BD123 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I also got 10K per year... way I understood it was that it's per year and that they will double check after your first year to see if you still qualify... I imagine there's a minimum GPA or something to go with it.
bstone Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 got my letter day, $20,000. I believe (hope) thats renewable second year
orangesplease Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 got my letter day, $20,000. I believe (hope) thats renewable second year Congrats! Good to see that someone got more than 10k. Let's hope I can at least match that offer XD
Crippling Anxiety Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 The e-mail they sent (to the 2nd round scholarship applicants) said, "The committee will announce scholarship decisions the week of February 27th". Any predictions what day they will announce the decisions?
