ss312 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Just got an admission letter from McCourt School of Public Policy (Georgetown)! quietman, yasir8959 and Solio 3
yasir8959 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Hello Can somebody inform if PhD public administration decisions of American university are out yet or not. No info regarding the same on results survey page, however, PhD political science and PhD Justice & Law admissions are out which are also dealt by SPA.

I am in contact with Sally Helms- their doctoral program coordinator. The blizzard delayed their consideration process this year. It started on 22-Feb. Expect to listen from them in between mid to late march. Did you apply for masters there or PhD? I am talking about Maryland-Baltimore county not college park! Edited March 2, 2016 by yasir8959 Confused about university name.

krob1267 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I also applied to the MPP program at UMD-College Park. Do we know when we can expect to hear something/has anyone spoken with admissions staff?

sfe510 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 @ss312 Congrats! Did they email you? Or update your application portal? I'm still waiting on a decision from them...
Solio Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Got accepted to the MIA program at UCSD. . I was worried about quant being an issue, but I guess not! Nice to have the first notification be an acceptance!

UNC86 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Anyone want to claim that UMD mpp result? I get so nervous/paranoid when I see results pop up for schools I'm waiting for. Additionally, apologies for ending the previous sentence with a preposition and also, I'm a long time lurker, finally making an appearance on the board! Solio 1

I'm still waiting on a decision from them... @sfe510 They emailed. I think they are releasing rolling decisions as my friend heard from them a few days before I did, which stressed me out, only to hear from them yesterday.
aslabchu Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) For anyone else wondering about Minnesota Humphrey: I called up their admissions department today just to make sure my application wasn't lost in the e-mail or something. They told me that they're hoping to have their acceptances sent out by the end of March. Could be a long wait! I didn't ask if that would delay their funding decisions (they've previously said they're due on March 16th), but I would assume so. Edited March 4, 2016 by aslabchu
bsack Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) i dunno if this is just for public policy guys, but i got an offer from cambridge for their masters in international relations! pretty stoked! Edited March 5, 2016 by bsack Ben414 and InWestPhiladelphia 1 1
coffeeandtravel Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Also not sure if this thread is just MPP, but for IR folks, Korbel has released decisions. They're generally first among IR schools. SAIS is next Friday, which I'm slightly more worried about...
Transitioning Military Off Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) @MPP 2016 Hello: I am also a veteran with eight years military intelligence experiences including special operation. I also applied SIPA and the only concern I have is my low GRE score; 151 V and 149Q. I took the test with disability I incurred during deployment. My undergrad GPA is 3.61 and my current grad school GPA is 3.42. My LOR, SOP, and resume are very strong. Do you think SIPA will reject me based on GRE scores? I also speak, read, and write fluent in Chinese mandarin. Thank you for your time. Edited March 5, 2016 by Transitioning Military Off
MistaBenjamin Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Hi Everyone. MPP decisions for University of Maryland, as I see from everyone here, as well as from based on my own current experience, are not out yet. I believe it is extremely likely that we will know shortly, with other decision deadlines approaching. I have so far been accepted into: 1.) CMU Heinz College- MSPPM DC Track 2.) GW Trachtenberg- MPA 3.) George Mason- MPA 4.) American- MPA Only funding offered so far has been from CMU Heinz. Currently living in DC till may. Likely will be going with Heinz, waiting to hear about other funding and UMD before accepting though!
kasbah Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Y'all. I cannot handle this waiting anymore. Release your decisions, adcoms! Release! MPPKS, cmbo232, Solio and 2 others 5
RCtheSS Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 This week should hopefully be full of decisions. Harris MPP is slated to release Round One decisions on Friday, and rumor has it Ford MPP will release news sometime this week. MPPKS 1
lbruneetoile Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Based on previous years, Goldman (Berkeley) should be sending out notices starting today...

I would say your chances are strong as SIPA has more international students and has a bit more of an international focus. The Weatherhead Institute is one of the best centers for Asian Studies and having Mandarin is a big plus. I got into SIPA with similar GRE scores so I wouldn't sweat it.
Shadowscholar123 Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Just got an offer from Yale guys! Completely Thrilled! They will be sending an official letter of invitation soon.
Mr123 Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Just got into SIPA. Will probably be declining. Good luck to everyone
