Will likely decline. Long email from Prof. Rust, and his heart is in the right place, but something about these long emails doesn't sit quite right. Maybe I'm just curmudgeonly. Best of luck to those who remain on the WL, and cheers to those accepted.

Already admitted to better program

Accepted and waitlisted for funding.

GPA is Undergrad. Phil. Major; 1a/7r/0w/5p Received a very nice call from Dr. Mattingly informing me of the news.

It was my top choice :( Good luck everyone.

4+ years of international development experience. Strong LORs. Science background with 4.0 GPA, but not in development-related field. Strong Verbal/Writing, but a pretty low quant, honestly. Thank baby jesus this program values experience in the field. Offered 33% tuition, free language classes, internship stipend/airfare for summer between first and second years.

6 applicants were accepted out of 170 total applicants. Message from James Mattingly: "You will be getting a letter from the Georgetown Graduate School reporting this decision in the next week or so. But their process is slow and I thought it would be better to let you know right away."

finally! last school i was waiting to hear back from. apparently they accepted 6 out of 170 applications

No funding, but DSPP seems to be a nice program and DC is a place with abundant resources and opportunities.

Email notification to check the online portal. Form letter. I expected this since no interview, but it still sucks. This was my first choice. Glad it came after 4 acceptances, but still... Congrats to those who got in. It's a great program.

Prof. Rust's email with most obvious-what-is-inside subject line starting with "Sorry, but..."... Didn't expect rejection, to be honest. At least, very kind and encouraging tone. 2a, 1w, 4r out of 15
