Maxwell MPA


Recommended Posts

I applied to MPA/IR at Maxwell on January 7, got an acceptance email on January 31 but my buddy received his MPA acceptance letter last Tuesday. Maxwell should send out the rest of the decisions soon. Good Luck!!!

Well for me it really came down to personal reasons. While GW obviously has the alumni advantage over Maxwell in DC, I'm not necessarily sure that I want to end up in DC. The prestige and history of the Maxwell program really attracted me to it, along with the flexibility to be able to use the degree locally, regionally, or nationally (I'm from Western NY).

Heard back from Maxwell MPA on 3/7. Accepted, but waiting on the financial package.

International student here, and just received another email, mentioning that my offer is conditional, as they require official COF to release my admission packet, along with documents for VISA application, etc. Does this indicate that I won't receive any funding? Has anyone else, who is international, received a similar email recently?

Also, called up school to check what this conditional email really means. And they assured me that this no way represents any decision, which they have taken on the financial aid front.

I got admitted to maxwel MPA, but not yet return the Intention to register form because I have not received the letter. I live in Bukittinggi, west sumatra, Indonesia. Does any one know how long does it take for a mail from USA to reach Indonesia?

Got funding for a "half-time tuition assistantship" + a Teach for America fellowship, which comes to 1/2 tuition. Will be declining it, so that should go back in the pot for everyone. Good luck guys!

Please decline it asap before they send out the rest of the financial decisions! :)

What did your email look like? Did it seem like a mass email or was it personalized?

Did you just receive it today? Still waiting to hear...but if the funding isn't great I won't be attending either. :/

Just received this email:

"We are pleased to inform you that you have been chosen as a Maxwell Dean’s Office Professional Scholar by the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs for the 2012-2013 academic year. The Professional Scholar Award has a value of $5,000 and will be credited to your Bursar’s account upon your matriculation: $2,500 for fall and $2,500 for spring. This award will be applied toward your tuition and is made in recognition of your academic and professional achievements. This award is renewable for your second year of study, providing you are making satisfactory progress in the program. In total your award package is $10,000. Congratulations!"

Not nearly enough and pretty disappointed to be honest. Won't be attending at this rate. LOL at the fluffiness of the e-mail and the reality of the award being less than 14% of the tuition and 10% of the total cost of attending.
