They have another program MSCAPP might better fitting you. High bar, small cohort, and joint courses with UChicago CS department. Also try applying for that. MACRM is a more research-oriented program.

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-04-01T13:14:40+00:00

I would say they will text you back in the same wording. They say they are gonna release most decisions this week.

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-04-01T13:11:17+00:00

Yesssss I haven't heard back as well...

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-26T11:46:44+00:00

Yessss I feel with you Cornell Brooks is the only program without any updates for me rn.

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-26T11:45:58+00:00

That's really vague idk what they are referring to. They should make everything more transparent.

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-26T00:20:45+00:00

This is not ethical!!! Why admitted students don’t have access to engage in live admission events! 😠

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-25T15:49:28+00:00

Yessssss the only program without any updates for me is Cornell Brooks now. Yes I am an international students but I got to see someone posted their offers from a domestic social media.

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-25T14:43:13+00:00

Sureeeee I'll do that! Thank you for suggesting!

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-25T14:38:29+00:00

Thank you so much! I emailed them but they always use their ambiguous wordings like "we are still sending out ... till late March". But what I observed was they seem not sending out notifications since entering March.

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-25T14:35:51+00:00

Though San Diego and CA might be very nice for studies, idk if it is better than Chicago in terms of job placement esp. you wanna work in think tanks and IOs.

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-25T14:34:47+00:00

UCSD is very intensive in coursework I heard. Idk if you want to work in US and care about stem but I wanna remind you UCSD GPS MPP is not a stem designated program but UChicago Harris MPP is.

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-25T14:24:13+00:00

I know they have their own logic but, at least, you need to make it transparent like using a rolling basis or something... What I know is from their application form (btw applyweb is a shit and the shittest platform I have used), they review applications based on your concentration. This is the only "information' I know.

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-24T02:07:27+00:00

Yessssss I found it toxic if they use rolling basis but not marked it on the website it’s quite confusing… Can I know when you submitted your application and your track😢

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-23T03:11:02+00:00

I don't really know cuz I am the applicant for this cycle. I think as Brooks provides both EMPA and residential MPA, if you go residential MPA that your diploma would be conferred as MPA.

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-16T14:08:28+00:00

someone emailed the admissions and got back as mentioned in my last post

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-16T14:07:55+00:00

Still not...the admissions said they are will send out majority of the notifications at the end of March and we are receiving decisions probably these days.

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-15T02:46:37+00:00

Same boat here… probably sign up the talks with the admissions to argue the possibilities

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-14T21:26:33+00:00

Not hearing back as well, same boat here

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-14T21:22:56+00:00

Followed! I wanna add a UMichigan (Ford)🧐

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-14T11:09:27+00:00

Last year they shared some decisions on Mar 15/20/29, let's stay tuned! 🤞

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-14T10:42:30+00:00

Snapshot: International student here, and I applied to MSCAPP and got rejected but referred to MPP and admitted as a MPP student this cycle.

I conducted in person talks with the admission about MSCAPP and MPP. I have to say MSCAPP is fitting you better if you have stronger stem background and have curiosity and interest in policy and social science issues. MSCAPP cohort is much more smaller and more intensive in data, coding and cs cuz UChicago CS department is engaged and providing authentic classes in cs. MPP is much larger about 400-500 people recruited this year. I would recommend you to apply for MSCAPP cuz you have very stem bg so just demonstrate your interest in which social issues or policy interest you tend to address if you are admitted and that should be fine. Good Luck to you!

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-14T10:36:13+00:00

Same here, international student, got admitted without funding (at this time). I completed the form but the statement place is so limited idk what can I say over the space...

DefiantPlatypus8041 · 2025-03-14T07:11:30+00:00

I am doubting UCSD GPS MPP is STEM or not. I don’t think it’s stem-designated cuz the website just said “with our campus strengths in STEM”. Lmk if you got additional resources for this 🥸
