grizzly Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Who else applied to Denver for 2015? I am really interested in the Korbel School. The course options seem great and I like that there is a big emphasis on professional development and post-grad career placement. Money is definitely my biggest concern- Denver seems so expensive! Has anyone else been invited to interview for fellowships? Any current Korbel students willing to weigh in on cost of living in the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I applied to Korbel and have not herd anything yet. But, last week I reeived an email saying that my application has been forwarded to the 'International Security Department' for review. If that's the case, then I hope to know something by the end of ths month. This school is indeed the most expensive program on my list...but, I would imagine that Denver itself is cheaper to live in compared to places like DC.

deletethisname Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) I received this email a couple weeks: You’ve probably heard this a lot from our emails, but thanks for your application to Korbel. I had a chance to look over your application real quick this afternoon (before sending it along to the review committee) and I’m really pleased with your background and your research interests as they fit nicely with the work/research/culture of Korbel. Language skills in a “critical language” is essential for your career goals—having Arabic is great, adding on Farsi would be even better. I wanted to highlight some Korbel Opportunities that are unique to Korbel and how they might fit with your specific interests. First off, our Center for the Study of the Middle East allows students with an interest in issues of importance to the region access to guest speakers, research and courses. We are also starting a certificate in religion and international affairs which would fit nicely with your interest in non-state actors (which you could get through the security program) and political Islam (which you could get through the certificate program). Finally, I encourage you to look at the research of Professor Nader Hashemi, our leading scholar on the Middle East. They definitely read my SOP. There was a lot more in that email but i am too lazy to edit/redact. Edited February 14, 2015 by kingthearab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletethisname Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Based on the results from last years cohort, decisions should start trickling out this week. Anyone get anything yet? Edited February 23, 2015 by kingthearab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I haven't heard anything yet. I hope that next week will be the designated time for a decision from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xperto Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) @kingthearab @OneLove21 I have applied and been accepted to the MA in Global Finance. Trade and Economic Integration. My admittance letter states that I am being offered the Korbel School Merit Scholarship. I submitted my application around Dec 25 Good luck to you all!

Guest Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Oh, ok cool. I applied one day before the deadline and in a different program. So, hopefully we will know by next week as Grizzly said. Isn't Merit the biggest scholarship they have available as well? That's cool, if so.

Guest Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 So far, 2 acceptances have been posted for Korbel on the results page as of today. I infer that one of them were posted by Xperto. Hoping for the best.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xperto Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) @OneLove21 Indeed one of those acceptance posts is mine. @everyone Just as a sign of encouragement for everyone that has not received anything yet. In the acceptance mail, they attach a youtube "welcome" video only accessible trough a link (as per youtube settings) and until a few minutes ago, said video has only around 40 views. Assuming that some people have seen the video, some others haven't and some others have watched it twice, I would deduce that only a small portion of the acceptances have been sent out and this is only the first batch; therefore expect good news coming to you soon!! Good luck to you all! Cheers! Edited February 27, 2015 by Xperto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
