My money is on.... Georgetown MSFS, SIPA MPA, and GSPP. However, SIPA and GSPP will only begin to notify. In past years, their acceptance/rejection/waitlist notification process took several weeks. Which will be miserable for those who see posts here on Grad Cafe but haven't heard anything themselves. If that is the case, you shouldn't despair, these schools just take a few weeks to get to everyone, for whatever reason...

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!

I'm looking forward to hearing from UCLA and Chicago!

I think Chicago won't be til the following week.

LBJ should notify.

If GSPP starts notifying this week, it probably won't be until Thursday/Friday. Something tells me they'll start the week after, though, due to the increase in apps this year (this is based on nothing but intuition).

I expect to hear from LBJ, USC, and NYU this week.

You may be right about GSPP, not only because of rise in apps (By the way, does anyone have any idea what the extent of the rise was at GSPP or others? I know KSG reported 35% jump for MPP), but also because of the CA budget crisis which may affect their funding and other aspects of the decision-making process.

Not an answer to your question, anxiouslywaiting, but the California emergency budget deal included a 9% tuition hike for UCs next year (not sure if it's 09/10 or 10/11). That'll increase the motivation for securing funding or getting tuition remission through an RAship.

I don't think SIPA will notify this week. They keep saying mid March, so I am planning for next week. Also they claim to send out 80% of admit responses on the same day. So the only ones I see being dragged out are the people on the waitlist.

Georgetown Public Policy was weeks ago, not SFS. With respect to SIPA, I base my assertion on last year when people started posting acceptances March 4 and continued to post that they were receiving acceptances well into Mid-March. Also, the blog has referred to "early March" several times.

I agree. Last year, the deadline was January 4th, and the first results showed up on March 4th, so I'd expect that they'll likely start sending out decisions anytime from Wednesday forward.

But who knows, with the weather in the Northeast today, I wouldn't be surprised if the process gets delayed a day or two.

Does anyone know when USC will begin to notify? Has anyone heard?

I haven't heard anything yet about MPP admissions, nor have I seen any indication that they've sent out acceptances or rejections yet.

Yes. I received an email from UCLA grad school telling me to check my status online. I checked and found a letter of admission. I received this email on the 21st. I also received an email from LBJ for the MPAff this past Friday, the 27th.

Huh.

I just got an e-mail saying I've been admitted to GPPI. Georgetown, apparently, is still sending out acceptances. Good news for those still waiting, and perhaps a partial explanation for the funding info delays.

Now please, WWS, please...

Huh.

That will be me when people start posting Berkeley admits and I haven't heard yet.

Anyone here apply to Yale MA IR? Think it will notify this week? The results page from previous years seems to suggest this could be a good time coming up...
