Princeton WWS App Q's

[nycpolicy]

I'm also putting additional Economics courses that I couldn't fit in the main application + employment gap application as a separate document.

@gelatinskeleton I think it's a good idea to put that info - shows the uni that you care and are honest about your skills! 

@ All, how are we supposed to answer 'how do you intend to finance your graduate education' if you've ticked the 'applying for financial support' section. Do they mean to ask how you woul finance IN CASE you do not receive any funding? So confusing :/

[nycpolicy]

Where exactly is the checklist located? I can see the 'submitted' symbol next to the name and my entire application in HTML format but nothing else...

HEY so now that my materials are all in I just want to take a second to give a huge THANK YOU to @yellina122 because while I read a many of the recent WWS blogs, I did NOT go all the way back to 2014 and I really appreciated the info about what they want in a resume. It convinced me to change some things around so I had a section on public service that I didn't have before and seems really important in this case. I guess it's really up to the gods now, but I feel a lot better knowing I did everything I could and I definitely wouldn't have updated my resume had you not pointed out that old blog post. You're the bomb!

No problemo! I didn't find the blog post until basically the last minute (while searching for anything I could find on the Policy Memo) and I figured I would share since it was so different than what I was expecting.

Now we wait

My test scores have been matched and updated in checklist. So, now we wait!

Will the scores get matched in addition to the test date or only the date?

Only the dates in my checklist too. I think if the dates are correct, they would have matched the scores correctly 

[nycpolicy]

Guess so! I had the date only as well

[nycpolicy]

Same, just the test date!

[Prester John]

Regarding the results date. When the application was submitted, I received a confirmation mail saying that admissions results will posted on a rolling basis from Feb 1 to March 15. But, checking the forums, in previous years, all results had been released on the same day: March 9-13. 

So, is there a difference in the way they are gonna release this year or this is just their standard response? Any clues?

[Prester John]

I got the mail immediately when I submitted. Now that the wait for the results have started, why don’t we start a general purpose thread?

[frankfurtercardozo]

I just noticed the rolling bit as well ("Admission decisions will be emailed on a rolling basis to all applicants between February 1 and March 15.") Has anyone heard anything yet?

I think it depends on the program. Traditionally I think they've done 2nd week of March for MPA, maybe earlier for others? I would love earlier decisions though but I'm definitely not holding my breath for MPAs in Feb.

Link?

[frankfurtercardozo]

The email they sent on submission of applications. 

[Prester John]

I think they use the same form and platform for all graduate applications. The rolling thing may be the  common response to all

[Prester John]

I guess we are almost there. Any updates/guesses on the result dates?

How would it be 10 days if we're finding out by the 15th? 

[Prester John]

They have traditionally released results between 9-12 of March right?

Last year it was March 10th. So just a guess...it may well be 15th as you say

Awesome I didn't know that. It would be wild if they got back to us next week.

[frankfurtercardozo]

They have updated the website from "mid- March" to "March 15".
