NYU Wagner 2018

[adow93]

Hi!

Also accepted with no aid. I feel it is very weird I've only seen ONE person comment that they've received any type of financial aid. What exactly is the check back form??

[Policy.Planner.NYC]

I was accepted last weekend with funding to the MUP. I’ll likely go to the admitted students day in two weeks since I’m in NYC. Though I think I’m leaning towards U Chicago Harris...

I was also accepted with funding.

I was accepted with funding to the MSPP, but it still may be too expensive for me.

@misuny I am assuming those are self driven activities and not part of any official agenda right? I will be able to stay on in NYC for a few extra days and plan to do those activities then..

Not part of the official agenda, but there is a way to reserve a spot for class visits and schedule meetings with an NYU student and/or alum in advance.

Just submitted my app on 3/2 and got the "application being reviewed" email on 3/9...

Not sure if I'll be noticed by 4/15 or will have to wait till 6/15...driving me nuts!

I applied by the February deadline and received my admission letter yesterday (on the website)! No funding, though. 

[nycpolicy]

Anyone here negotiating for funding? How are you guys going about it - is the check back form the only way?

Congrats!

So the decision came out faster than they said on the website? I thought it supposed to be 4/15 if applied by 2/16...

Thanks! Indeed - I wasn't expecting it for another month. If you applied by that deadline, I wouldn't be nervous. I imagine they're releasing decisions as they make them.

Did you receive an email notifying you of the decision, or were you checking the website periodically?

I had been checking the site, but I received an email an hour or two after I noticed.

Did anyone go to the admitted students day? If so, can you share some of your notes? I was planning on going, but couldn't due to the storm. Thanks!

[cpaxton]

Has anyone who submitted a check-back form heard a response?

[juanlisa]

@cpaxton I haven't heard back, and sent the check-back form March 8th.

Anyone applied in early March got their decisions?...

[bliss_135]

Anyone put their deposits down?

[PolicyHopeful2018]

Did anyone else hear back about the scholarship check back today? I didn’t receive additional funding (bummer) making the decision between NYU and SIPA even harder. Better luck to all of you!

I have not heard back yet. Did they send you an email or did you check the application portal?

I got the email last Friday I believe, no aid which was pretty surprising! Why does it make the decision tougher for you @PolicyHopeful2018?

[tristatequeen]

I filled out the check back in form and was allotted money from no aid to a considerable amount of aid a while back. In my check back form I acknowledged several Wagner fellowships that I felt I qualified for and requested at least matching aid from other comparable schools.

The specific admissions member I had been corresponding with sent me an email (after me badgering them with emails about needing to hear back before April 23rd when we had to submit a decision). I ended up asking for a decision extension, though, and was granted two more weeks.

@nycpolicy I am now deciding between Wagner, SIPA, and Goldman (at Berkeley) after just hearing I got off the wait list. I didn’t receive money from any but could receive an in-state tuition reduction for my second year at GSPP at Berkeley. Between SIPA and Wagner I was leaning towards Wagner as they seem to have more students and faculty interested and committed to social/urban policy (specifically Education), but now I’m even more torn because of the price reduction at GSPP and the appeal of San Fran. I’m from NYC and live here now, but a two year break from the East Coast is appealing!
