So if anyone needs more funding, doesn't hurt to ask SIPA for an increase, you'll never know. How did you go about asking for the fellowship increase ironheart? Did you talk to Laura Piraino, or directly to financial aid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saranyc234 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 For Chicago Harris - I believe the last deadline of Jan 20th has a notification of Feb 17th? But I have also seen the March date thrown around. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied for the Jan 15th deadline and got a notification in my email this afternoon. But oh my gosh. My heart is being played and toyed with by these grad schools ... the email was just to notify me that my application has been forwarded to the admissions committee. My heart was about to jump out because I thought the email was about their decision on my application. Ughhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a later application deadline that has a later notification date but was less competitive for financial aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obecalp Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I just got the call from Harris about 20 minutes ago. Accepted with $15k per year in funding. Still waiting on UT LBJ, which apparently has started reaching out already and then from other schools, but they won't release their admissions info until mid March.

dollybird Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Another Monday, another potential week of waiting... I'm dying to hear from Duke and Michigan. It doesn't help that people keep asking! I guess I should just feel blessed that others are invested. This week I'm going to try to drastically reduce the number of times I check my personal email and the official Results Forum in hopes of new decisions.
