Stay cool bro, time to check mail frequently !

Does anyone know if we have to log into the portal to get results or if they email us the letter?

Mail for sure , but the web status may also show a result.  

[GradNYC]

Ughhhh! I wish they would just let us know today. I need good news. Two rejections and I’m Just feeling depleted. 

[OverCloudy]

NEED good news as well.  I only applied several schools. Best luck!

I'm sure things will work out with NYU! I had a similar situation where I got a lot of rejections for non-public policy programs but have been having a better run with MPPs.

I'm sure you'll get in too.

Thanks . I applied to one public health PhD program. It really was a long shot and I don’t even have a masters in public health. The other was a public policy program but not in NY. Not toooo upset because I want to stay local. Soooo Wagner and New School are really where my heart is at.

Wagner and HKS deadlines were much earlier than my other deadlines so they were the first ones I submitted. Realized I made several rookie mistakes that I fixed on later apps, but of course those were the ones were small mistakes would matter the most lol. Oh well

Yup yup yup. I'm in the same boat. Completing subsequent apps had me faceplanting.

This is painfully relatable. Particularly if you were taking the GRE and LSAT during your penultimate sem of college while applying. Don't follow my example, kids.

[gelatinskeleton]

Yes, same! It makes me feel much better to read this haha. 

[regala95]

Did anyone else here apply for the MPA PNP on the February deadline? 

[kathydb]

Does anyone know if emails will come out at Midnight tonight, or throughout the work day tomorrow?

Also worried because on Vimeo it looks like they haven't viewed my application video - anyone else having that problem?

[GradNYC]

Midnight? Did that happen in the past. I suspect throughout the day 

[OverCloudy]

Anyone received notification? Still no news? 

[brown queer]

Still no news from NYU! It’s odd because there has been NO communication from them since the submission of application & forwarding to the committee. I wish they’d keep us more posted.

[GradNYC]

 today is the day, folks. 

[Iblit]

So nervous...Hoping they get this over with early on in the day! So strange how there has been absolutely no contact as @brown queer mentioned!

Wagner is pretty cool because it releases all the 1st round results in the exact day..

@vivianh9 I feel your nervousness. One thing that's helped me keep my mind off things is reading very good biographies that I'm excited about. It's helped me learn and be a bit funner in conversation, and now it feels like my time is passing marginally faster too!

Thank you for the advice~! I work Mon-Fri so I don't really have that much of downtime but when I get off work I immediately feel the nerves. The decision is coming out today so fingers crossed! Best of luck to you!

Good luck to everyone! I really liked the feel of Wagner when I visited. I was surprised by its intimacy and energy, and there was a collaboration present among students that I felt SIPA lacked a little (granted, I only sat in two classes at each program!). Did anybody else feel the same? 

Some other things I love:

--- the emphasis on interning/working during the school year. These are professional programs, and Wagner (more than any other) offers flexible schedules to work around internships. 

--- the vast majority of grads actually go into public service, whereas more SIPA/HKS/Harris grads go into the private sector. This difference adds to the unique atmosphere, I think. 

--- an estimated $42,000/year for tuition and fees is considerably less than, say, SIPA's $55,000. 

--- several of their specializations offer solid quant training geared towards the public sector. 

--- it offers many NYC-centric courses, and most grads remain in the city after graduation. For many I'm sure this is a negative, but if one intends to lay roots there then this is a big plus.

I don't know if I should check here obsessively or my inbox. lol 

[regala95]

Good luck to everyone receiving decisions today!

[misuny]

Of course today is the day I have off of work so I’ve got nothing to distract me. 

I’m going to bake something. Maybe two somethings. Then at least I’ll have some cake whether or not the news is good.
