SDtoMPP Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I haven't seen a topic about Harris yet. I think most of the people in this forum are IR people, and Chicago is more social/domestic from my understanding. Maybe that's why! Anyone else anticipating Friday's decisions?

RCtheSS Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yep! Been waiting ever since I got accepted into Chicago SSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeb!2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I'm waiting too. That e-mail last night was quite the tease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLCoolJ1585 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Waiting, one of my top choices as well. Heard its very competitive. But I'll let them decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeb!2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Any chance Chicago lets us know before Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCtheSS Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) They've been pretty clear for months, on both their admissions page and in email correspondence, that March 11 will be the notification date. It's only two days! Edited March 9, 2016 by RCtheSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeb!2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Haha -- I hate waiting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCtheSS Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 We're all in agreement there, haha. It's been a long, anxious two months but it's almost over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLCoolJ1585 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Anybody accepted here thinking they'll probably turn it down? If so why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for tmw, just this one seems less popular than some of the other schools although IMO seems like a great school, wondering why it would be someones alt rather than first choice. Im biased though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDtoMPP Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 If I am accepted, I may turn it down for Berkeley GSPP, since it's a very prestigious program and I am in-state. It will come down to funding and school visits though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really exciting program to me in terms of the resources it offers, but if I'm accepted (which I'm not assuming at all will even happen) without very substantial funding I'm likely to turn it down. It's a very expensive school! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCtheSS Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) It certainly depends on fellowship funding for me. I received funding from SSA (around 60% of tuition+fees per year), so Harris needs to match or beat that offer so I can make the dual degree program work feasibly. That, or provide a work-study position. Edited March 10, 2016 by RCtheSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeb!2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Just waiting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenNoodles Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I got an email from them earlier this week saying they won't release decisions till after business hours - seems smart on their end since they won't be bombarded with phone calls afterwards, but ughh whyyyy.

jeb!2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The portal is at least updated with an envelope icon that says Decision Documents. When I click on it, it says: There is no update to your application status to report. SDtoMPP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDtoMPP Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 At least now I feel like I'm actually going to eventually see a decision, haha. LLCoolJ1585 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLCoolJ1585 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Rejected :-/ my 2nd choice. Sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDtoMPP Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 It's up. Admitted, no mention of funding. Also, Open House on the same day as Duke's, which I've already bought a plane ticket for :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCtheSS Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I'm in! I was offered a Dean's Scholarship of $10,000 per year. I think I might try to leverage a bit, but I'll have to think about how to go about it. I also can't attend the open house, but at least I stopped by the school while visiting SSA last month.
