Hopefully it's not just us. Expand Same here--no word on funding. Also a little frustrated that their admitted students day is not until April 10.
dollybird Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Sorry to hijack the thread. I heard back from Luskin about funding. All of the funding announcements have been sent, so if our letter didn't mention it, we didn't get any.

It's my top choice program, but compared with a full scholarship to USC it's not looking so tempting anymore.
saranyc234 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Saw that from sipa as well. Guessing that means by the end of this week ?

Essjo Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 I got an email today saying that I was accepted to GWU's International Development program. I should be getting an official letter and financial info soon. I also applied to American University and am waiting to hear back. I will likely go to whichever school that offers more aid.

Palolem Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 This year, WWS has not posted any timeline with a specific notification date (unlike 2016 and 2015) - When do you think the MPA results will be out? People are predicting the 8th for HKS.
fallmpp2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Well on their admissions site it says Notification by March 15. Hopefully we do not have to wait that long, but that is what it says. http://wws.princeton.edu/admissions/mpa/application
Dankj Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Hi, I wanted to know if the Universities double check the work experience people mention in the CV. I was quite enraged today when I got to know about someone who was boasting of lying blatantly about her work ex in the CV.

Expand Normally, the professional referee (work supervisor) would write a letter of recommendation and outline the job title and responsibilities of applicant.

Expand Most adcoms may not check previous work unless it raises red flags (inflated job titles in a junior job post graduation). I heard from a prof that adcoms do not spend too much time. They tick boxes: GPA, GRE, TOEFL, work, awards
