Hopefully_MPP) Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Hey guys. I thought it might be useful to meet others who are accepted/rejected, and share plans about matriculation, visiting campus, financial aid, etc. Please, list your GRE, GPA, U.S. or international, work experience, when did you apply and received the email.
sherpa07 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Hi! I was accepted in December with really good funding, so I'm thoroughly considering CIPA! I know it sounds cheesy, but I actually really do like the flexible curriculum. I think it really fits my interdisciplinary interests. I'm also perhaps a bit more "academic," so I like the thesis option. I just wish CIPA were more highly regarded, and I'm not 100% sure why it isn't. It seems like a strong program to me? Right now, I'm planning to attend since it's my best offer, but I still have other schools to hear from in March. I may still go there over "better" programs because of the funding, too. So, we'll see, but I do really like the program!
bless_yourheart Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I'm in the same situation as sherpa07, though I really like the Capstone option and a lot of the more "hands-on" classes offered through Cornell's business school. I'm planning to attend right now, but it depends on funding (or lack thereof) from other schools.
UA_politician Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 I am in the similar boat as bless_yourheart and sherpa07. I like the program and as of now plan to attend, but I'm still waiting to hear from European schools as well as funding from other places.

FYI they are planning to open a school/college of public analysis and management in a few years.

Will finding an apartment for 2013-2014 be difficult at this point?
King Arthur Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Am I the only one waiting for their decision? I submitted at the end of Dec and was told on Jan that they had too many apps this year and would start to review on Feb. Any clue when they're going to release decisions? I'm desperately anxious...
