lantzuh Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 YES! Congratulations on your admission to the Woodrow Wilson School (WWS) at Princeton University. Our admission packet with friendly propaganda will be mailed to you on Monday, March 16. The reply deadline is Wednesday, April 15, but we recommend submitting your contract and registering for housing earlier. Good luck to everyone else ! Does anyone know anything about funding? I heard everyone is funded but there is no mention in my email. Thanks to everyone on this forum who made this wait bearable!
cs_mpp Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 congrats to all who made it!! My hopes are sinking
ajak568 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I got in and I can't believe it. I'm going to cry.
handiya Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Not a very happy feeling for sure when you get rejection from the dream schools. Still no YES mail,no news from GSPP,rejected by HKS.... How do I react? In despair.... Four months of hard work and wait for nothing... Thanks to all on the forum for making the journey and wait such a learning experience. May God bless you all... Congrats to all who got in the dream schools... All the best for the people who were not so lucky....Life has many good things in store for all of us.
dudeinspace Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 @handiya I feel you!! But we did our best and at the end of the day, the school that wants you is a school that fits. Feel proud of your accomplishments, that Im sure are more than plenty. Good luck to everybody!!

handiya Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks. I think I shall start planning for the next year from now on. I have been accepted in Duke, LSE, NYU and Chicago. But feel it's not like the GSPP, Woo,orKennedy.. so I am already planning on giving it a more try next year and then see where do I fit in.
cs_mpp Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Is there any use refreshing the mail every two minutes? Its so depressing!
InternationalHopeful Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I wish I wouldn't have opened this forum today. Seeing others get a notification is just the worst. I am completely useless at work right now.
handiya Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I just want to say for those that are still waiting that I didn't receive my acceptance until 45 minutes AFTER everyone else last year. I was convinced I got turned down, but I think they were just moving through the applicants alphabetically. Hi Go to school, Are we talking about the YES mail here or you didn't get the mail and were officially notified directly after 45minutes of the rest?
TROD43 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I wish I wouldn't have opened this forum today. Seeing others get a notification is just the worst. I am completely useless at work right now. I know!!! Me too. I thought decisions were going to be sent on Friday. I feel so grateful for the acceptance letters I've received already, but can't help feeling a bit down about not hearing back from WWS. It's my favorite program and would be my only rejection. Such is life!
chelaylay Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Wrote a sad post about how I wish they would send a rejection already - then it magically appeared in my inbox. Better than the ambiguity I guess. Congrats to those admitted! Edited March 11, 2015 by chelaylay
gradphil Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 A long wait is over. Received a rejection email moments ago. Feeling relieved. Congratulations to all those who got admits and sympathies with those got dinged.
buckHD Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Also rejected. If it makes anyone feel better, I visited Princeton and did not feel the concepts being taught were only within the reach of those admitted--I held my own. A WWS rejection is primarily a consequence of such a large volume of qualified applicants who all want a prestigious degree for free. Looks like I'll be changing the world from elsewhere! naso 1
Gov2School Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Hi Go to school, Are we talking about the YES mail here or you didn't get the mail and were officially notified directly after 45minutes of the rest? I was talking about the email. I did receive it eventually it just took a little while. Looks like they've already started sending out the "No" letters, so soon enough folks should know one way or the other.
economixed_policy Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Reject oh well! Many congrats to all those who got in!
thx4558 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Rejected too. Glad to have closure - congrats to all those who were accepted.
TROD43 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Rejected too!! I know I just wrote about being bummed, but now that I have a concrete answer I'm feeling, may I say, EXCITED? WWS was one of my top 3 for sure, and primarily because of the hefty financial aid package, but I did have doubts that the curriculum was aligned with my research interests and values. I earn less than 30K a year so a full ride was mighty attractive. But now that it's not an option, I'm excited to explore the other schools that did offer me admissions and very concretely and realistically pick a school that is the best fit for me. That's exciting!! GET EXCITED PEOPLE!
buckHD Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks TROD43, I am on the same page with you re: reasoning around WWS. Where else did you apply?
haupia Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 First rejection of the year and it feels so good!!! Makes my decision slightly easier!
wb2603532 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Rejected as well. Got into my top choice (MPA/ID) so not really bummed about this. MPA/ID is a better fit. I just hope they give me some money cause I really don't want to be in debt!
MsFutureDiplomat Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 First Rejection! My GRE and GPA were within or above the average for admitted students, but I don't think my sop or policy memos were very strong for them. Moreover, not sure my regional studies interest was ever a great fit to begin with. But I had to apply out of curiosity Congrats to everyone who made the cut!!
mueva Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I was rejected as well. Not surprised, it was a long shot for sure. First school to ever reject me, but it is Princeton. I'd rather live in Seattle or Austin than Jersey anyways, haha! But congrats to all those accepted!
