Princeton University

Public Affairs, Masters (F21)

Rejected via E-mail on 12 Mar 2021

Note

Really no idea why I got rejected. I got accepted to all top MPA programs and received full funding at Syracuse U, but got rejection here. Weird though. 2.5 years ago, I started my application preparation with a dream to study at Princeton. I know all there could be about the program, professors, etc., have great scores in everything, good GPA, research and nonprofit involvement, good rec. letters. My SOP was 4 pages long (with dense info), and maybe this could be the reason - that it was tiring to read. Still, it is a mystery for me and a deep disappointment ... To anyone applying, "Good luck, people!". I know this competition could be frightening, but applying is half the battle, so just do your part of the deal, and admissions will decide later. As for me, I will apply for a PhD to Princeton, I guess. See you!
