MPPKS Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Congrats!!! I guess I should assume no funding coming my way. Bummer! I wonder if they still send emails after hours @jeb!2016 Edited March 8, 2016 by Ksan

They definitely were batching e-mails in order of descending funding amount, which was both comical and stressful since I kept hitting refresh on the forum. Are they still sending out acceptances this late? I'm starting to sweat!

coasts Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Gosh, I guess I should let go of my dreams of getting funding from Ford...
RCtheSS Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 7 minutes ago, coasts said: Gosh, I guess I should let go of my dreams of getting funding from Ford... There is always student employment. From the Ford School fellowship letter: Obtaining a Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) or Graduate Student Research Assistant (GSRA) position is a unique opportunity, one which we strongly encourage our students to pursue. These positions provide full tuition, stipend and healthcare coverage, in addition to valuable teaching experience. Such employment will supersede your fellowship offer for the semester you are working as a GSI/GSRA, and the fellowship funds for the semester of your GSI/GSRA position cannot be allocated to another semester; indeed, fellowship funds cannot be rolled over or allocated to another semester for any reason.

murray Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Accepted with 50% fellowship. Is everyone getting fellowships? Is anyone expected to pay the sticker price or is it just so that they look as prestigious as the private schools? Berkeley, for instance only charges $18k for out of state students. I haven't received funding at Columbia SIPA or Chicago Harris which is partly why I'm asking. Edited March 8, 2016 by murray

Also accepted with 50% fellowship - I think most students accepted to the Ford School receive some kind of assistance, but I don't think all do. Anyone planning on attending Preview Weekend?

If you look in past years' results, there are definitely admits who didn't get any money.

I'm actually very excited about it. It feels amazing to have such a great school offer to reimburse you for a flight to their admitted students weekend for example!

Nice! Yeah, I've actually been to the Ford School before - to anyone who's never visited UMich, I highly recommend it. Had an amazing summer there back in 2013, and Ann Arbor is a lot of fun.

I know who you are, fellow PPIAer! I won't be able to go to Spring Preview weekend because I'm in my best friend's bridal party that weekend. Already regretting my decision.

It's too bad - looks like we're going back to Circus for karaoke. Edited March 8, 2016 by DeputyDowner
obrien_blue Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 Congrats, fellow admits! I'm going to try to go to spring preview, but HKS has theirs the same weekend, so I won't know for sure until that decision is out. But I'm thrilled to know I'm in with some funding at an awesome school! I hope I get to meet you guys!
MPPant Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I'm still waiting for the decision. I guess this means that I didn't get in, or that I got in with no $. It's fine by me as I got accepted to Sanford ($) and SIPA ($$) but it would be nice to finally receive an email...
MPPKS Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I guess I'm Expecting a rejection today. Congrats to everyone who is in. This was the only school I applied to for various reasons. Edited March 8, 2016 by MPPKS

beepbop Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Felicidades @RCtheSS, @obrien_blue, @CaliGab and those who have been accepted so far! Best of luck to those who are still waiting. I'll be at the Preview Weekend for Friday only. Sat I'll be at the Dia De La Mujer Conference in Lansing. If ya'll are interested, you should swing by! I'm so excited!
SenNoodles Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I just got an email about an hour ago offering me admission but no funding: The Admissions Committee was extremely impressed with your application however we are unable to offer you fellowship funding at this time. Some fellowship funds may become available later as we continue through the admissions process. To express your interest in additional funding opportunities, please submit this form by Friday, April 8, 2016. Additionally, we invite you to review this Additional Funding Opportunitiesdocument as you consider your options. Time to do a whole lot of research on the availability of TA-ships and the like...

Chances are that as folks with fellowships decline their offers, more funding will become available for others.
MPPKS Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I got in with no funding. But hopefully some will trickle down my way. Lol

MPPKS Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 @TheLastHurrah it was sent at 10am! Fingers crossed for you!!!!
MPPant Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Just got an email. I'm in, no funding. Ford was my last choice anyway, so I definitely will not attend. Congrats to everyone!
