cong一个，楼主报背景啊~

tiffany880913UID：209425

哎其实我背景一般，宾大前两天还把我拒了~本来想着这俩一个档次估计Columbia没什么戏了，结果AD就这么突然降临了~
我本科是提前批的学校非211非985囧。。。在人大辅修了一点金融的课，出国交流一学期，大学期间若干社团学生会活动，GPA3.3多一点（北大算法，再囧一个），不过班里排名还凑合，GMAT730，IELTS7.0，有几个小实习都是一个月的，没论文没牛腿，比起很多牛人实在是很惭愧了~

就是在录取信里写的，第二段还是第三段，是required。。。
不过我看学校的网页上有写如果想读的话可以申请，话说ls如果有兴趣的话就可以申请一下:lol

“We are pleased to offer you admission to the Master of Public Administration (MPA) at the School of International and Public Affairs for the Fall 2010 term. Your offer of admission is for full-time study only and you will be required to maintain full-time enrollment throughout your course of study. This year applicant pool is of extraordinarily high quality and your admission is something for which you can be justifiably proud.

Unfortunately, we are not able to offer you a fellowship award at this time. The applicant pool is large and competitive, and fellowship funds are limited, so we are only able to make first-year awards to a limited number of applicants. If you maintain satisfactory academic progress in your first year at SIPA and meet the financial need criteria, you will be eligible to apply for a second-year award through the continuing fellowship program. In order to be considered for second-year fellowship support, you must apply for fellowship in the Spring 2011 semester. Please note that continuing student fellowships vary in amount and entail a service commitment to SIPA. Approximately half of your class will receive awards in the second year.

Please respond to this offer of admission no later than May 03, 2010 by clicking here. We can not guarantee you a space in the incoming class after this date. Please fill out the online response form and submit the nonrefundable tuition deposit of $1,000 by this date. Your deposit will be credited towards your tuition when you register. Please consult our new student Welcome Page for full details on how to respond to your offer and for more information:”

前三段~如果不required我就不去啦，嘻嘻，搞个活动就是银子啊~如果我真的决定了就找你吧，嘻嘻
