golonghorns Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Please let us know when you do! I sent mine for Pub Aff in Early Dec...and still nothing :?
slothrop99 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I was just browsing the FAQ and it looks like notifications will happen mid-march, although I read something (on this board, maybe?) that decisions were emailed as early as Feb. 20th. I applied to the dual degree MGPS program and it might differ from the MPAff program, but I would think that the time frame would be relatively similar among these two programs. I'm getting antsy!
golonghorns Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 I know I'm getting antsy too because I read the same thing about them starting to send out acceptances third week of Feb...I am sure our acceptances (cross fingers) will happen around the same time...let me know how it goes for you! Good luck!
limmy87tx Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I heard the MGP program was around 30 people this year. Do know if they plan on expanding the program this year. I am applying as an undergrad with international work experience with a 3.8 honors degree from a great school with solid GRE scores. I am a little concerned about my lack of work experience (post graduation).
golonghorns Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn UT.............i don't think i can wait till march.........i am losing my mind............ :x
s800x Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Also waiting to hear from the LBJ School re the MGPS, I'm sooooo impatient! From the looks of last year's acceptances on gradcafe we could hope to hear by the end of next week. Where did you guys get the Feb 20th date from?
golonghorns Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Also waiting to hear from the LBJ School re the MGPS, I'm sooooo impatient! From the looks of last year's acceptances on gradcafe we could hope to hear by the end of next week. Where did you guys get the Feb 20th date from? I think they got it from Yuster, because I saw it on there as well. And what makes me even more impatient is that they said it was rolling admissions...which doesn't make sense if we are going to all hear around mid March.
s800x Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I looked on the Internet Archive and the mid-march bit has been there for a year or two, so it's not something new to this year. Hopefully this means we should be hearing back next week or even tomorrow!
mpp2011 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Past decisions have come through during the last week in February. Does anyone think we'll hear anything today?
dagger Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Past decisions have come through during the last week in February. Does anyone think we'll hear anything today? They very well could. It does seem like notifications this year are taking slightly longer. If we don't hear today, I would wager money (not fingers :wink: ) that we'll hear next week.
s800x Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I hope we hear soon! Is it too early to give up hope on hearing today?
dagger Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I hope we hear soon! Is it too early to give up hope on hearing today? I wouldn't think so. I, however, gave up hope when I wrote in my Texas SOP how I was very interested in the University of Chicago.
s800x Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I wouldn't think so. I, however, gave up hope when I wrote in my Texas SOP how I was very interested in the University of Chicago. Haha! I could so easily have done that especially as I applied to both schools too. I wouldn't worry though, I reckon that must happen quite often!
policy_applicant Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Maybe they'll find your honesty refreshing and admit you anyway. :wink:
dagger Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Maybe they'll find your honesty refreshing and admit you anyway. :wink: Haha. I've been fairly indifferent to LBJ through the whole process. It wasn't part of my original ten, but one of my referees went their and encouraged me to apply. I'm really just curious to see what happens.
golonghorns Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 I wouldn't think so. I, however, gave up hope when I wrote in my Texas SOP how I was very interested in the University of Chicago. OMG!!! HAHAHAH did you seriously do that ???? Or are you joking??? that is too funny if you did!!! And I too am dying about LBJ.....I was really counting on hearing this week....but really crossing my fingers for next....
dagger Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 No joke. I used the same SOP for each graduate school. The only exception was the last paragraph, which I geared towards professors at the school and why I specifically wanted to attend. However, I forgot that in another paragraph I mentioned the school by name. So, while I changed the last paragraph, I forgot to change the school name mentioned earlier. We'll see what happens. I said it before, but I'm really curious to see how this works out.
limmy87tx Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Does anyone know how big they are expecting to increase the size of the incoming global policy class? Thanks! I'm dying to know!!!!!!!
golonghorns Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 i couldnt sleep last night because of my nervousness about LBJ...the more and more it think about it...this is my top choice..mainly because it will be instate tuition for me and i don't want debt! pleaseeeeeeeeeee Godddddd make me a longhorn!!
AllOverthePlace Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I found out about LBJ this past week and am planning on visiting for their admit students weekend in April. I am also still waiting to hear back from 3 other schools... sigh. Good Luck Golonghorns!
causey Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 "AllOverthePlace" : Did you receive an acceptance decision from LBJ? What program ( MPA/ MGPS/ PHD)? And how...by email/phone/ postal service? Thanks..and congratulations!!
AllOverthePlace Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Hi Causey, I applied to the MPA program and found out via email on Friday the 27th. Thanks!
golonghorns Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 Wow omg congratulations!!!! Just out of curiosity, what does this imply for those of those who didn't hear on Friday? They don't send out all admissions on the same day do they? :?
s800x Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Wow omg congratulations!!!! Just out of curiosity, what does this imply for those of those who didn't hear on Friday? They don't send out all admissions on the same day do they? :? Which program did you apply for golonghorns? I applied to the MGPS and hope we hear back soon!!
