CEU Acceptance Letter

Good news! My much-anticipated and long-awaited acceptance letter from the Central European University (CEU) in Budapest came via email on April 26th. The university received more than 3000 applications from students in over 100 countries for a very limited number of spots (there are less than 50 students in the entire public policy program, for example!). They also awarded me a "partial" scholarship which will cover full tuition, room and board and health insurance, valued at approximately $15,000 USD. Yipee! I also got an application in to the Hungarian Ministry of Education for a scholarship to cover language training for 3-4 weeks in August-September before classes start.
