Hey all...

I just got a funding package yesterday. Its really the swing vote for me. Anyways, I haven't gotten my acceptance letter in the mail yet so I think I better follow up on that one..

Goodluck to all!

I'll be at the open house on 3/23 and probably attend the networking event in NYC on 3/30. I've also been contacted by a current student and will be following-up on that with some questions.

Has anyone gotten word of funding yet?

Hi PeteZahut,

Did you get to visit the open house? How was it? Any feedback you can give to someone a million miles away? hehehe

Hi All,

For the upcoming academic yr. for Summer 2010 entry, the application deadline is 15th Jan. 2010.

I learn from the discussions here that the applicants get their admission confirmation on different dates altogether (i.e. few got response by Jan end and a few by mid/end of Feb!!!). Why is it so? How it happens? Probably, I must put this question differently. How much time do the adcom takes, after the application deadline, to come out with the result on you application?

Moreover, I also see that the date of confirmation of funding by SU is different from that of the application confirmation. Why don't they give both the results for your admission confirmation and funding together at a time?

I presume, I successfully confused you!!

But trust me, it's all confusing. Please help me by clarifying.

Thanking you.

I am thinking of applying for the MPA with an Environmental Policy track, but am still on the fence about it. I'm interested in policy/regulation analysis work for non-profits, government, etc. and am worried about Maxwell's apparent emphasis on administration and managment courses. I'm impressed with the program itself, but it may not be the right track for me as far as what I want to do after graduation. Thoughts?
