pepper84 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I know there is a separate results page, but in the interest of culling all the information in one place, I thought it might be nice to post here when policy schools (MPP, MPA, PHd) start notifying. So far, it looks like the following schools have started to contact candidates: GWU--MPP--Acceptances only? Georgetown--MPP CMU--MPP Brown--MPP Brandeis Heller--MPP I think last week we were mulling about whether NYU would be next? Did I forget any schools?
mpp2011 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Indiana SPEA's MPA program has notified. And I saw a few notices for Cornell MPA, Syracuse MPA, and Minnesota MPP on the results page.
dagger Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 The CMU acceptance was for the early deadline. I imagine the Duke acceptance was as well. I believe both schools have yet to announce acceptances/rejections for the final deadline. In addition, Syracuse has begun notifying individuals. However, they have rolling admissions.
causey Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Email from University of Georgia- MPA....today....
saschita Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Has Duke notified anyone about acceptances yet for the MPP program yet? It seems like only rejections are posted...
dagger Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Has Duke notified anyone about acceptances yet for the MPP program yet? It seems like only rejections are posted... I would imagine the Duke results are from individuals who applied to the early deadline. It does not appear that Duke has begun announcing notifications for individuals who applied before the final deadline. I do imagine that notifications will be sent shortly.
golonghorns Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 American MPA notified me in late November. Late Nov? Wow, when did you apply to American?! I sent mine mid Jan lol
gator09 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I applied to all my schools by mid october. I'm still in undergrad so I wanted to get them all out early in my fall semester.
DefinitelyMaybe Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I got word from SPEA (Indiana Bloomington) about a week after I sent my materials in in November. They promise a quick turnaround, though, so I expected that. I applied to two other schools who, by the looks of this thread, have begun notifying. I've called them both and they said my applications are still in review. So either they are extremely on the fence about me and are waitlisting me without my knowledge or my rejection letter should be arriving any day now.
royalt3240 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I question whether the Brandeis posting was real. They listed the date of 2/15/2009 as the date of acceptance by postal service. That was a Sunday and the following day was a federal holiday (no postal deliveries). They also listed the degree the way the directions explicitly tell you not to. I know there is a separate results page, but in the interest of culling all the information in one place, I thought it might be nice to post here when policy schools (MPP, MPA, PHd) start notifying.

dagger Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 tsk tsk for the chit chat on the results page
pepper84 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 It's real...it's mine. I found out when I came home late Sunday night and opened my mail. It's nice to have an option, but instead of alleviating anything, I'm finding I'm more and more anxious.
mpppp Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 UMass Amherst (MPPA) changed my online status on February 16.
ebee Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 UMass Amherst (MPPA) changed my online status on February 16. My best friend will be finishing this program this year. She loves it!
royalt3240 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 It's real...it's mine. I found out when I came home late Sunday night and opened my mail. It's nice to have an option, but instead of alleviating anything, I'm finding I'm more and more anxious. Thank you for clarifying.
policy_applicant Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 It's nice to have an option, but instead of alleviating anything, I'm finding I'm more and more anxious. I feel the same way! It seems to be a common theme, actually (there's a whole thread about this very topic in the "decisions, decisions" forum). I've come to the realization that I will just be a nervous wreck until April 15, at which point I'll probably start worrying that I've made the wrong choice, etc.
salman33 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 the wait is insaneeeeee! sorry had to vent. Still waiting on NYU< Columbia, American, Duke, UCLA and USC> how much longer.?!?
traveler06 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 It seems that some of these schools give very little time between notifying and the April 15 decision date. It's a bit frustrating because I would like to visit once I know... but if I only have a couple weeks to make plans, get time off work, buy plane tickets, etc, I'm not sure I'll be able to afford that.
pepper84 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 And to continue with that, these programs seem to be notifying later this year than last. Seems only logical to push back the April 15 date, then, too...
