I'm a bit late in posting this, but I received my official letter with $10k two weeks ago! Very excited but I'm weighing all my options. Did anyone else also get a scarf in the mail?

@Cristianvb Not yet. I'm also getting restless. I am also not clear on if the official letter will be sent by mail or email? Do you guys know?

@dudeinspace and freeverse Thanks! I feel very relieved that I do not have to refresh my e-mail page every 15 minutes. Good luck to all applicants.

Just got my email, I'm in! I'm also receiving my letter next week

jawn, thanks for sharing. we actually have similar stats . My highest scores were 162V ,150Q and 4.5AW. I am currently a VISTA working with Habitat for Humanity (VISTAs are awesome!). I graduated magna cum laude from a small Catholic university and I am proficient at two other languages apart from English. I participated in a lot of extra-curricular activities and I was President of Student Government. Fingers crossed for CIPA!

I agree about the video interview being the most stressful part. After it was submitted, I found myself wondering if it was too long, and then in next minute, wondering if it was too short. I would by far have liked an in-person interview. At the same time, I really like how responsive the CIPA admissions office has been to my inquiries. My areas of interest include international development, economics, fiscal policy and administration. I also have a special place in my heart for languages and music. @jawn if you don't mind, could you share a bit about your educational/professional background?

Congrats! I just submitted my video interview and I'm now in the waiting phase. How long did it take for the admissions committee to review your application?

Thanks for offering yourself as a resource. I'm applying to CIPA for next fall and I have a few of questions: 1. Would you say that the admissions committee cares a lot about high GRE scores? And do you think Quant is weighed more heavily than Verbal? 2. What would you say were the strongest aspects of your application last year? 3. WWS focuses on demonstrated committment to public service and HKS prefers international experience. What would you say is the single variable that CIPA focuses on when considering applicants? Thanks!
