[plumeria11]

Wanted to start a thread to meet those who also got accepted and are seriously considering attending Luskin for their MPP! Congratulations to all those admitted . What makes Luskin one of your top choices?

I am thinking about it! I applied to the joint MPP-MBA program, so I'm still waiting to hear from them, as well as about funding and other schools. But I'm definitely considering Luskin.

I just got in as of yesterday and I'm highly considering it! Congrats to everyone who has been admitted and good luck to everyone who is still waiting

I was accepted for the MPP with a fellowship, but I will likely decline the offer. I believe I will receive more reasonable financial offers from the other programs I applied to. But damn, if I didn't enjoy my visit of the campus.

You got a funding offer? Interesting. I was under the impression that they hadn't given out fellowships yet because my letter made no mention of it.

Hm, I guess that means I didn't get any funding, although I was admitted about 3 weeks ago.

Also, they have still not updated my portal. Has anyone else had this problem?

@SDtoMPP: I received the fellowship offer in my acceptance letter as recognition for being a PPIA Fellow.

And yes, my application status portal still says "No Decision Made".

Hi All,

I too have been accepted to the MPP program at UCLA. There was no mention of funding in my letter. Would anyone have any idea about when the funding decisions are released?

Hi all -- I was notified of my acceptance in early February via email. I was nominated for a full tuition + stipend fellowship for the first year and I will find out if I got it by the end of the month. Congratulations and good luck to everyone!
