sandover Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Hello everyone! I wanted to start a thread to see if there was anyone else here who applied to Maryland's MPP program. Also interested in what funding successful applicants received (including whether they have heard about the Robertson Fellowship), and whether you are considering attending (and why!) Thanks!
lookwhathappened Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Hey did anyone hear back from them? I haven't heard anything. Still waiting.
3dender Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 This is the only of 9 schools that I haven't heard from yet.
vananhdo Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Anyone having a comment on Maryland program regarding energy policy? I have been admitted to HKS but I haven't got funding yet, so this is my back-up choice.
3dender Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Finally heard back and they're offering me full funding (split between granting me in-state tuition, a GA, and stipend), renewable for my 2nd year. It's by far the most generous offer I've received. Would anyone who knows care to elaborate on how Maryland SPP compares to the other main schools I'm considering: Duke-Sanford and American-SPA? the money is pretty even across the board, considering living costs in DC vs. NC.
sandover Posted April 8, 2017 Author Posted April 8, 2017 Have any of the finalists for the Robertson Fellowship heard back? I am slightly concerned with how close it is to the April 15th deadline to accept offers from schools. I'm assuming I did not receive it but also confused by the radio silence.
lookwhathappened Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 I haven't heard a decision from them at all. Is this normal? It's almost April 15th and I have to make a decision. Anyone else waiting on hearing from Maryland?

lookwhathappened Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) They still haven't gotten back to me with a decision. My application was submitted with letters of recommendation and all test scores by mid-January. I have emailed them and not got a reply yet. The applications portal still says' Under Departmental Review'. I have not experienced this kind of unresponsiveness from any of the schools I have applied to. Well, I have made my decision to go elsewhere. Thanks but no thanks UMD. I wonder if I can ask for the 75$ of application fee back from them. Edited April 14, 2017 by lookwhathappened
