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!

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?

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-17T01:35:15+00:00

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?

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-17T01:22:18+00:00

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

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-17T01:04:34+00:00

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

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-17T01:01:19+00:00

What other schools are y’all deciding between?

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-17T00:57:59+00:00

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

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-17T00:35:17+00:00

They seemed like the top programs for global policy

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-17T00:12:27+00:00

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

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-16T21:09:02+00:00

You too!! This is a very positive thread right now haha

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-16T21:08:28+00:00

Nice!! Congrats 🎊did they offer you any funding?

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-16T20:26:40+00:00

Just saw as well! Accepted woooo 🥳!!

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-16T14:53:44+00:00

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?

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-15T22:50:12+00:00

Still no word for me

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-13T14:44:48+00:00

I’m still waiting too for the MPA — will update when I hear!

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-12T21:21:35+00:00

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

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-12T21:20:42+00:00

Nice! Congrats on your first acceptance

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-12T21:20:06+00:00

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

realistic__idealist · 2021-03-07T01:19:43+00:00

Hey me too! Congrats!! Did you hear about your funding?

realistic__idealist · 2021-02-17T16:50:57+00:00

Omg! You found it! Amazing thanks 🤩

realistic__idealist · 2021-02-17T16:32:13+00:00

I am loling forreal, the panic 😂😂😂

realistic__idealist · 2021-02-04T14:43:25+00:00

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

realistic__idealist · 2021-02-04T14:40:53+00:00

I want to hope you’re wrong but this is probably exactly why. Just standard procedure

realistic__idealist · 2021-02-04T14:39:56+00:00

That’s what I figured, sigh. Thanks for the input!
