coldbrew5 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I feel like I'm going crazy waiting for SSP results to be released! Is anyone else holding their breath for SSP? Last I heard from Admissions, the target time frame is mid-March! Poli92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
och0615 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Yes! Holy cow! So much pressure! How long ago did you contact Admissions?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldbrew5 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Exactly one week ago! I'm so excited for everyone who's finding out from GWU and HKS this week, but it makes it harder to wait at least one more week for results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
och0615 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Yes I agree! I had a "safety net" school I already got into (George Mason) and I only have until the end of this month to accept or decline. Georgetown better not let me down! Better they tell me I'm rejected sooner than later. It was a long shot! Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldbrew5 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Congrats on George Mason! I don't want to think about the possibility of them letting us know in April... It's kind of a long shot for me too but it's my dream school so it's SSP or bust for me, for 2017 at least haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
och0615 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Thank you! And I feel you on that one! SSP has been my dream school for a long time and it would have been SSP or bust for me too but I'm getting out of the military in a couple months, so I had to get real and have something lined up immediately after. Hope we can come back in a couple days and laugh at how worried we were! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldbrew5 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Smart thinking! (And thank you for your service!) I'm fortunate to have a job in our field of study, so I can keep working to get more experience. Agreed- I hope so too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose09 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Any updates for anyone yet? Just joined this website today, also waiting anxiously on my SSP decision! Best of luck to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty set on going there but I also applied to SSP to see if I could get in. Edited March 14, 2017 by apricots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I spoke with admissions yesterday and was told first week of April. But I'm really hoping for @coldbrew5's timeframe!

coldbrew5 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) Oh no! I hope that doesn't end up being the case... I hate the waiting game! @och0615 Did you happen to speak with Grad Admissions or SSP Admissions? I wish they would give us some kind of update!

They were pretty blunt and straightforward about it, but I don't blame them! I bet they get a lot of people asking everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rose09 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Sorry to hear that, apricots. Best of luck at SAIS! Did SSP email you a decision or tell you to check your application portal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldbrew5 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Accepted! Couldn't be happier!! @rose09 I got an email saying to check my portal, then a follow up email from the director Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousGuy Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I am deciding between SAIS and SSP with no funding. I am interested in strategic/political risk consulting. I know SAIS has a great placement for these jobs but know less about how SSP does! Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
och0615 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Rejected! Was expecting it, so nothing of a surprise. Excited for GMU though! They've been extremely helpful and couldn't be more grateful to have been accepted there. Congratulations @coldbrew5! Happy to hear. Hope the best for you!

Policy24 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Curious to hear what your stats were for those who got in and those who didn't. I have a 3.6 gpa 167Q 159V and am trying to figure out if that'll get me in to SSP or if the V is too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
