As of right now, I'm planning on focusing on China and Southeast Asia for regional and International Politics for career. China is the logical choice for me since I studied it a bunch in undergrad and am learning Mandarin. I'm thinking about also focusing on Southeast Asia because you can use Mandarin to fulfill the language requirement. As for international politics, I'm thinking that I'd like to do government or consulting work after IR/PS and so IP seems like a better choice than international management. However, from what I've heard, you really have a lot of time to decide because your 1st year is primarily core classes. So basically I would say don't worry too much about deciding quite yet!

I will be attending UCSD in the Fall, though I'll be doing so for international relations. Just wanted to let you know that One Miramar does not have a waiting list and there is also a chance that you could get Arris Verde (which is the new housing complex). Did you fill out your housing waiting list form yet?

Yup. Did you get placed with a current student? The one I got placed with has been ridiculously helpful in answering questions.

Got my acceptance packet today. No funding info. They sent it out March 18 so it got here pretty fast.

I'm in the same boat as you BonAppetit. Very frustrating.

I got the admitted student packet last night (I live in Boston). No funding....booo.....

GW decisions are available.... I'm in! Says separate email on funding "no later than March 24th".

Waitlisted......bummer.....

Last / First - H/L - MALD

Just got my decision - waitlisted. A little bummed out but not too much. You guys might want to check the application management site directly since I didn't get an email yet (was just constantly refreshing haha).

<br /><br /><br /> 3.64 GPA 690 V / 700 Q / 4.5 AW 2 years working at a law firm (unrelated to IR) Summer abroad in China (language program) My Chinese is unfortunately pretty mediocre, although I am taking classes right now and it will hopefully be a lot better by the time school starts

<br /><br /><br /> I've never heard of the five-semester option? Can you explain it a little?

I also applied for China Studies!

Did you guys get this in the mail or by email?

I just got this from admissions: Beginning of April seems awfully late. Of course that's just the latest we will receive our decision, and it could come sooner.
