caitiroth Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Just received the notification that I'm in! The letter doesn't say anything about funding...does anybody else's? I'm wondering if this means I haven't been offered any, or if the funding decisions just haven't been released yet.
WallStreetConvert Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Mine doesn't say anything on funding either.
impatientlywaiting26 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Nothing on funding for me either - but I'm in!
Merantau Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Congratulations, @ELP14! I got in too! Don't think I can make it to the reception & admitted student day, though. Btw, did you receive any info on funding? I'm sorry to hear that, @baysbar94! Hope we'll both get accepted to SIPA!
emilyf413 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) I got in! I called and they said they would post financial aid info in about an hour waiting on tenterhooks. Edited March 7, 2017 by emilyf413
ELP14 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 No info on funding... TBH, I don't expect anything based on my stats (and unfortunately didn't apply for fellowships), but best of luck to you!
FatimaM Posted March 7, 2017 Author Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Got in, but no word on funding. Edited March 7, 2017 by FatimaM
FernandoHM Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Got in too and already received another message saying no funding.
Rachel H. Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Did anyone else (MPA Nonprofit Management, or others) NOT get their decision today?
LLCoolJ1585 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 In too, no funding. So probably won’t go, New York too damn expensive.
mpa/mpa2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Does anybody know whether the scholarship amount on the financial aid letter is for one semester or for the entire year?
Merantau Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I didn't get any funding, so I have no idea, haha. I suggest asking the admissions office. Btw, may I know how much you're offered?

Btw, may I know how much you're offered? I was offered the public service scholarship award and specified $10,000. The website says the public service scholarship is half tuition scholarship.
Merantau Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Yeah, that's confusing. Did you contact the admissions office to clarify? I just checked the tuition page http://bit.ly/2fCgUFc and it says that If you take around 15 credits per year (degree requirement: 30), it will cost you around 26k annually.

I contacted them and they said that it was for the whole year. So $5k each semester...which does not much in the grand scheme. But I thought it was 40+ annually? And the 22k was per semester?
Merantau Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Ah, yeah, I guess the page refers to tuition fee per semester instead of per year. So 10k is hardly "half tuition". Do you think you can negotiate? Anyways, congratulations! You're among the few who received funding from NYU Wagner and you should be proud!

Thank you for your kind words congratulations to you for the admit! Did you hear from SIPA yet? (Saw above that you applied!) I'm not sure if I should negotiate. I've heard that I shouldn't even attempt unless I plan on accepting. Other schools are giving more money so NYU is slipping from my priority list (It used to be my top choice). I'm going to try to visit some classes though since I won't be able to attend any of the admitted student events.
Merantau Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Thanks! I just received two pieces of awesome news: from SIPA and Fletcher (with 20k funding)! I think I'll decline NYU's offer of admission so I can focus on deciding between SIPA and Fletcher (and how to pay for the enormous tuition). Where else did you get into? It's great that you have other options with better funding! Money does matter a lot. SIPA's my first choice, but now that Fletcher offered funding, I'm starting to love Fletcher more, haha.

Congratulations! Two great choices. I think I'm going to go the MPP route instead of the MPA with a policy focus. I also got into U Chicago Harris, GWU, USC Price, and Columbia SIPA. The money is drawing me away from NYC...

Oh my God, you got into most top programs out there! So awesome! Which one do you think you're going to? Did you apply to both MPA and MPP programs at these universities? Why do you prefer MPP? Is it because it's in line with your current background, or future goals? So I'm guessing you'll probably opt out of SIPA both because it doesn't offer MPP and sufficient funding? Studying in NYC would be ideal but it comes with a price. Sigh...
Wagner MPA 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Anyone heard back regarding any fellowships or interviews? Got in also, but no merit scholarships. Haven't heard from fellowship, in the past years response has been end of March or early April. Edited March 11, 2017 by Kebu
impatientlywaiting26 Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Did others get a stock email asking them to apply to a graduate assistantship?
