ir_gradstudent Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Good luck everybody! Thanks for making this thread!! I got accepted! But no news about funding. I'm going to assume that means no funding. Did anybody else receive funding? Edited March 13, 2015 by ir_gradstudent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_gradstudent Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 See my post. I got funding. Thanks, good to know for sure! Congratulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmosis707 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Ah, no funding for me either then and AU is a bit too pricey in comparison to UCSD for me. I’m guessing it’s those blasted low GRE scores! Congrats to all those admitted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Holy crap. I'm in. "Funding details will be emailed to you shortly." I didn't get an email yet. I just checked the portal since I saw this thread. I'm praying for funding. I cn't believe that I heard from 3 schools in one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing it’s those blasted low GRE scores! Congrats to all those admitted! I suppose you've already used up your GI Bill. I have almost 2 years worth of schooling remaining, since I graduated early from undergrad. That cuts almost a 1/3 or 1/2 of the tuition out of the picture right away.

I still have one year with the Post 9-11 GI Bill which is nice…but I guess I’m greedy! Great move getting out of undergrad early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx4558 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 My letter says "Detailed information on your FAFSA federal aid application status or instructions on how to submit a FAFSA application will be coming to you shortly." anyone know if that means a definitive no on funding?

Poli92 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Did any of you apply for the MA in International Econ? I haven't heard anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneyoh Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Just checked, accepted. I also didn't see anything about funding except for the line about FAFSA. As an international student, I don't think I am eligible for that unfortunately... Either way, congrats everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCanFly Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Just checked and I too am accepted! Only word on funding was the line referencing FAFSA like most other people on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmosis707 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think the FAFSA language may just be part of the template and serve as a reminder to have admitted students send it ASAP. I confirmed that I had mine sent my FAFSA to AU about a month, but I still received that language in my notice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

botbot22 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Ughhhhh I assumed I wasn't going to get in, now I got in, and have to make the choice between SIS and UCSD. I had already accepted that I was going to UCSD and everything. Congrats everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaseyleigh Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Congrats to those of you accepted and I hope those who weren't get into other fantastic schools! I was accepted with funding as well: The SIS Dean's Assistantship Award carries with it $4,500 in stipend and 6 credits of tuition remission at the rate of $1,526 per credit. The stipend portion of the award requires a research assistantship with an SIS faculty member for up to 10 hours per week each semester. Your award has a total value of $13,656 for the academic year ($4,500+6 credits x $1,526 per credit) and a total maximum value of $27,312 over two consecutive academic years. The terms and amounts of the award are detailed in the forms below. Please note that you can opt to select only the tuition remission component of the award.

Bombaygunner Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Accepted. But no mention of funding. I wish universities came out and told you up front that you haven't been selected for funding. We're adults. We can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx4558 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hey all, I called. If you don't have explicit mention of funding in your admit letter you don't have any from the school. Looks like this one is out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJA87 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'm an MPP applicant and didn't apply to American, so I don't have a lot to contribute to this thread, but I just wanted to comment on how interesting it is how different schools give out funding. Take Bombaygunner for example. He/she has a really impressive profile and was offered decent funding packages from both Yale Jackson and Fletcher (amazing programs), however wasn't offered anything from American. Then when you look at other results, and there are many seemingly less impressive applicants that get funding offers from American. I wonder if there is a specific metric that they base their funding off of or what? Just something I thought was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renne107 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Accepted as well, but same line about FAFSA like everyone else. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
