martinet25 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I just received an offer of acceptance from the MSPP admissions for their MPP program.I was wondering by when can we expect scholarship offers , if any. lord bunfu 1
jct329 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Congrats, I just got in too! All the e-mail says is, "Your application will be passed on to the MSPP Scholarship Committee, and you will hear from us in the coming weeks if you have been selected for merit funding." I'd imagine a month or so? lord bunfu 1
martinet25 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 hey jct3329, what other schools you have applied to, and congrats on your admission. Do you plan on attending mspp? lord bunfu 1
jct329 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I also applied to SAIS and UCSD IRPS, so Georgetown is the only MPP program I applied to. It's going to be a tough decision between MSPP and SAIS if I get into SAIS. Although being in the midwest this winter is making me look pretty longingly at San Diego...I guess what I'm saying is I have no idea at this point lord bunfu 1
pavlik Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I also got in today with the "coming weeks" comment regarding financial aid. I'd imagine in a month or so... lord bunfu 1
alexarg Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Hi! I've received the same email on Monday. I'll also be very anxious for the funding email. I'll be following this thread for more info from you guys regarding funding. I have applied to other top MPP programs. Perhaps we can discuss here what's more convenient when the other schools begin releasing their admission results.
martinet25 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Posted February 12, 2014 I have applied to HKS, SIPA, WWS, and SAIS. As far as my information goes the aforementioned schools release their decisions in mid March so, that is when we'll have to make some decisions.
nandanroom Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I received another email today from Georgetown GSAS asking me to check the official admission decision on website. The content of this letter is almost same as what we all got on 9th Feb (and it says nothing about any funding). So should I conclude there is no funding for me? Did anyone of you hear regarding fin aid? Thanks!
jct329 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I *think* that was just the official offer of admission from GSAS (based on the recommendation forwarded to them by MSPP). I'm not sure if that has any meaning on whether or not you will receive any funding.
gwualum4mpp Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Just found out I'm on the waitlist. Not so sure how the process works but if there are folks out there who will decline their acceptance I hope you do so as soon as you can! Thanks! paladin_av 1
sonnemonat Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Is there anyone who had an interview via skype? Is it good or bad?
Shelton Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I was also accepted a couple of weeks back- was wondering if anyone has heard anything back regarding scholarships yet? Do you think if you're someone who they're not going to offer a scholarship they would tell you?
jct329 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I was also accepted a couple of weeks back- was wondering if anyone has heard anything back regarding scholarships yet? Do you think if you're someone who they're not going to offer a scholarship they would tell you? I was curious and called the admin office on Friday. Apparently the scholarship committee just began going over applications, so it's likely to be another 1-2 weeks I would guess.
Katrun Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 For those of you who have been accepted, is Georgetown your first choice? If so why?
pavlik Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 For those of you who have been accepted, is Georgetown your first choice? If so why? I'd say it's in my top 2-3 out of the 7 I applied to. Why? It's in DC, where I currently work, so I wouldn't have to move from what is likely the best place to be for this degree. I'm hoping for some internal funding from McCourt so I can afford to stop working full-time and enroll as a full-time student. I also feel that the new faculty and funding that McCourt (as opposed to the GPPI or whatever they used to call themselves) has will lead to increased stature for the program in the near/longer-term future in terms of better students, renown, etc. But really, it's all about the $$$ they offer. As an RPCV, I already know I'll get minimum offers from certain schools, so they're competing against that.
ynh2008@sina.com Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Hi my friends, It is so great to meet you here. I am from China, I also got the offer two weeks ago, and waiting for the funding now. How many of you will probably go to Georgetown, I mean you take it as the priority? For me, I have got several offers, but still wondering which one to go. i.e. USC gave me a full scholarship.

I am also an international student. My decision to attend/not attend would primarily hinge on the $$ they are offering. The school has a high tution and even the cost of living in DC are would be high. So in short, I need to know the aid-package before I start debating my choices. ynh2008@sina.com 1

What about you? What other universities have you applied?
nandanroom Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I apply for MPP and IR. What about you? What other universities have you applied? I applied for MPP. Applied Univs are in my signature.
Katrun Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I was just admitted. Waiting on the financial aid package too.
jct329 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) My financial aid package came. It has some for the first year, but it doesn't say anything for the second. Anybody know if that means that I won't get anything for the second year or do they decide that later? Edited March 13, 2014 by jct329
Katrun Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Did it come by email? When did you receive your acceptance?
martinet25 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 same here jct329. I wrote them an email regarding this. Would you mind sharing your profile?
jct329 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Notice by e-mail, then they add the details into the acceptance letter at the bottom of the application page. Just got it like 10 minutes ago.
nandanroom Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) I just got my aid package...i think it is just for 1st year..... @martinet25: do tell us what you hear regarding the second year for the scholarship Edited March 13, 2014 by nandanroom
