Also, if you're a US citizen and/or went to school in the States, they usually don't let you go back for an exchange, or so I've heard. I definitely wouldn't attend IHEID just so you can go to one of the US partner schools, spots are too scarce for that!

 

That makes sense Thanks

 

Oh another one, sorry for asking many questions! I promise it's not academic stuff. Any good chinese, japanese, thai, or ethiopian food around campus/in the city? Thanks in advance!

The US schools are nigh impossible to get into. You're competing with the entire school for very few spots and the vast majority of students are looking to spend their exchange semester in the States.

 

In fact, MDev students often opt for our partner schools in developing countries (i.e., India, Indonesia, among others) to do field-work in preparation for their thesis. 

 

Lol, I was thinking it would be nice to have a semester back in states, but didn't realize its this competitive.

 

That makes sense, I am also thinking about China.

 

Thanks a lot!

I'm here in North Africa and waiting to hear back!

Best luck to you!

Hey all, I think you're all asking questions that are, frankly, above my pay-grade.

 

However, with regard to working part-time, I know plenty of students that manage jobs and school just fine and if they can do it so can you. In fact I myself am looking to get a part-time job in Geneva but non-EU citizens have to wait 6 months before they are legally able to start working in CH, which wouldn't apply to you.

 

Hey Iecorbeau thanks for answering questions here! It's great to hear from someone already at IHEID.

 

Can you comment on the exchange program partner schools, like the most popular ones and which schools MDev majors tend to go? I personally guess the most popular ones are Elliot and Fletcher, are they? Thanks

congrats ganenjie! and thank you for the information!

I applied to MDev and got in. I remember reading posts earlier on fb saying scholarship decision would come out together with admission result, since it has not, I guess they just changed the process Now more waiting...

Best luck everyone!

[Applications for the IHEID / The Graduate Institute in Geneva - 2013-2014]

So glad that I found this thread, also sent in my application for early decision, MDev. I just graduated from college this year and now doing a gap year in China. Now waiting for Dec 7.

Good luck everybody!
