Graduate School Admission Results

The Goldman School’s Ph.D. Admissions Committee has now completed its final review of applications, and I am sorry to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to the Fall 2025 entering class. You are to be commended for your many accomplishments and great promise. However, the number and quality of applications this year far exceeded the limited number of spaces available. Consequently, we could not accept many very outstanding applicants who we believe to be capable of excellent academic work. The quality of this year's applicant pool was exceptional and we regret that we are only able to admit just a few out of many talented applicants. We appreciate your interest in advanced study at the Goldman School of Public Policy and wish you much success in your future plans. If you wish to reapply for Fall 2026, please contact us after September 1, 2025 for the new catalog and application materials

Acceptance offer with 10K scholarship

No GRE. Email to check portal. truly sad about this.

w/20,000$ Trachtenberg Fellowship. Still waiting to hear back from other schools, but super stoked to get this decision!! good luck to everyone

Sent me an email and asked me to check the portal. This note, just want to warn all the international students, you DON'T have to apply for this program as wasting your 150 (even more in the future) dollars and valuable efforts, they NEVER plan to admit oversea students no matter how well-matched you are.

Email to check portal

Email to check portal. Subfield was political science and law.

It was pretty obvious when they exceeded their notification date + radio silence. Seems like you are only accepted with a specialized phone call early Feb.

With a 35,000 scholarship "Trachtenberg Scholarship"; did not get an email or a call, just have been obsessively checking the portal and it popped up. Straight from undergrad

Econ track

Low gre, but did come in with several internships and 2 years of work experience

No standardized test 1 year MSPP program, 15k aid
