obrien_blue Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Starting a thread for anyone awaiting a decision from the Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. Anyone have any intel/guesses on a date for admissions decisions?
CaliGab Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Ahhhh! I am still waiting. I received an email about two weeks ago, requesting my availability for a phone call with a current student as part of Ford's "fellowship routine process." When I spoke w the student last week, she said that applicants should receive final decisions the second week of March, and no later than the first few days into the third week. I am so beyond nervous! beepbop 1
obrien_blue Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Congrats on the possible fellowship! That's amazing! And thanks for that insight on a possible decision day!
beepbop Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 @CaliGab What was the conversation like? I'm also scheduled to have a phone conversation for the fellowship, and am curious about what kinds of questions they asked. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
MPPKS Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I'm waiting so impatiently but I think I'm expecting bad news :/

wmkx Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Hi all -- I was accepted today too with a full ride + living stipend and health insurance for two years. I had a similar phone call with a current student towards the end of February. Congratulations and good luck to everyone else! DeputyDowner 1

wmkx Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Thank you @Ksan and @obrien_blue! Yes, I was notified of my acceptance and financial aid via email.
jeb!2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I'm really curious about what the batch order is! Eeeeeeeee -- I hate the waiting.
MPPKS Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks for letting us know! @wmkx The wait continues! Eeeeeek

obrien_blue Posted March 7, 2016 Author Posted March 7, 2016 I was just notified that I got in with a half fellowship. I'm up for a full at NYU (let's hope I make the finals for it!), so it looks like there might still be some decisions to make, but it's great to know I'm in somewhere! I hope everyone else hears really soon! And if anyone turns down funding, then I totally want to know!

RCtheSS Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Also accepted with half tuition! Too many decisions to make in the next month... DeputyDowner 1
obrien_blue Posted March 7, 2016 Author Posted March 7, 2016 I want to note, for anyone who doesn't get full funding: the grad asstanceships look amazing. Full tuition, stipend, health care. So, if you get in, but you don't get funding, friends, don't lose heart!
CaliGab Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Accepted this morning with Rackham Fellowship (tuition, fees, health/dental, and stipend) for both years! Still waiting on one other school, but I definitely plan on attending Spring Preview Weekend in April Congratulations to all of you who have been accepted thus far!

NekoAtsume Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I also heard this afternoon by email and received a half-tuition fellowship. I'm hoping this means Goldman will be releasing soon too... Congratulations to all who are in and good luck to all those left waiting! Edited March 8, 2016 by NekoAtsume
