GPA not good enough I guess, despite 1 internship at European Space Agency ; 1 research internship at GeorgiaTech Aerospace + technote submitted for publication ; 1 International Hackathon won at TAMU ; President of Student Aerospace Club.

Fractional charge excitation. Sad.

1a/1w/8r/1p

3 years work experience

Received the 'YES!!!!' notice at 3:46 AM local time, followed by portal update email a few hours later. 6 years of work experience (incl. 2 in AmeriCorps), several national scholarships (2x CLS, Fulbright, Gilman, etc.), strong letters, and strong essays really helped to balance out my more middling stats.

Princeton MPP result announced 11 March 2026, may be for MPA too. Early morning rejection status, for those selected usually a personal email with congratulations will appear, for those not selected an email with check your status on portal will appear.

Received an acceptance email and then portal was updated ~1 hour later.
