golonghorns Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Please let us know when you do! I sent mine for Pub Aff in Early Dec...and still nothing :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop99 Posted February 16, 2009 Share 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 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limmy87tx Posted February 17, 2009 Share 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s800x Posted February 19, 2009 Share 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?

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 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpp2011 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Past decisions have come through during the last week in February. Does anyone think we'll hear anything today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagger Posted February 27, 2009 Share 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 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I hope we hear soon! Is it too early to give up hope on hearing today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagger Posted February 27, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s800x Posted February 27, 2009 Share 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 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Maybe they'll find your honesty refreshing and admit you anyway. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagger Posted February 27, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
