I live in DC and while the commute sucked yesterday, offices were still open, as was Georgetown as I have colleagues that study there.

I'll be there too!

Thank you! This is very helpful information! Hopefully they get back to me before I put down a deposit somewhere else. Still hopeful that Duke sends me some good news soon.

But most other schools require a deposit or commitment by April/May. June is too far away to wait for something that might not happen! I emailed asking about how exactly the process works.

Wait listed :/ Pretty bummed out. Emailed them to figure out how the process works for those on the list. If anyone is on the same boat, lemme know! Congrats to all that were admitted!

Looking forward to it too!

Hey there, sure thing. I've been in DC for the better part of a decade. Did my undergrad here in IR. I have been working at a leading think-tank for over five years now and feel that it is time to expand, both educationally and professionally, by going back to school. I work mostly on Latin America and climate change issues, so want to focus on that during my MA. I did ok on the GRE, not the best, but don't think it's an accurate representation of a candidate. Math/Econ, did the required courses in undergrad, and intend to challenge myself in a MA to improve my quant skills. I speak three languages fluently, and grew up abroad my entire life. March is around the corner!

Likewise! Got a couple of friends and former colleagues at Jackson and they only have good things to say about it. So hope it works out!
