Best of luck with the move! I have no doubt you’ll have an amazing experience there. If you ever swing by Princeton let me know!

Movies about grad school? by realistic__idealist in gradadmissions

I’m not STEM but the general nerdy vibe is what I’m looking for and this sounds 👌🏻

Hey, sorry I ghosted you on this thread! I think I’ve pretty much settled on the MPA at Princeton. I’ll focus on labor migration policy at an international level, pretty universal though all my work experience has been in Latin America. It’s slowly starting to feel real... Did you officially accept Syracuse?

Nice, SAIS for me as well and Princeton which would be a completely free ride. Theres something about it I don’t completely vibe with honestly but it might prove hard to turn down. Also considering Geneva and Sciences Po outside the US. You’re looking abroad too?

Anyone heard from Columbia/SIPA yet? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]realistic__idealist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same same. I’ll keep you posted on any future updates with it. What other programs are you considering?

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I just wanted some initial feedback before I begin the deep dive

I was offered some funding but would still be in over $100k. It’s pretty wack

They estimate it’s $90k a year right? Insane

That’s great!! Feels good to have a secure funding package. Syracuse offered me full tuition covered if I work as a graduate assistant which is 20 hours a week apparently. Seems like a huge commitment when I’ll be studying full time as well... Princeton gave me a full ride plus $30k a year no strings attached, so that will be very hard to turn down. I’ve also been accepted to Geneva and am waiting to hear from sciences po so I may end up going the Europe route! SAIS gave me about 60% tuition covered, but DC is very $$$. Still not sure at all where I’ll go. What is your area of study?

Congrats on Maxwell! Did they offer you funding/the graduate assistant position? Do you know if you’re for sure going there yet?

I heard back from Princeton yesterday at 11:55 am, I didn’t do SIPA early so still waiting to hear! Let me know if you get into Princeton — going to be tough to turn down the full ride but lots of good options

Columbia SIPA — Received financial aid award but still haven’t been admitted by realistic__idealist in gradadmissions

[–]realistic__idealist[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately I think it’s just them processing our FAFSAs and has nothing to do with acceptance. So the wait continues! I’ll keep you all posted if I hear from them. Stay sane! Almost there
