So Confused !! Got admission in HKS MPAID, Yale FES MEM, Duke Nicholas MEM !! Got funding for Yale and Duke, but none for Harvard (yet). I want to major in environmental economics and policy; but I am also aware that none of my future potential employers will pay enough to afford a loan of 150k USD.

Accepted into Indiana Bloomington SPEA - MSES program and Yale FES MEM program. Supported by Fulbright Funding. Super Happy !! Totally on Cloud9

Hey CantHardlyWait, Your nickname applies so perfectly to my situation. IIE has applied to 4 schools for me and I have only applied to two impossible schools myself (Harvard and Princeton). Thus, I have had no correspondence from the school directly and I have heard nothing from IIE so far, thus making me super super anxious and stressful. My profile. - Engineer - mix of chemistry and chemical engineering, from one of the top 10 engineering colleges of my country - GPA - 8.2/10 - Work experience of 3 years : 1 year in different engineering segments - solar cells, oil and gas, nanotechnology research. 2 years in a policy think tank on an environmental project with the ministry of environment of my country. - GRE score - 326/340 and 3.5/6 (seems like this AWA score will take me down) - No publications - Strong recommendations (I hope) - Fulbright Scholarship. I have no idea what to add to my profile , in case of a rejection. I have sort of given my 100% and the gazillions of negative and positive thoughts while waiting for results are literally killing me. Hope to get some soon.

@CantHardlyWait - Did you get the mail directly from Yale or from IIE ? I am waiting anxiously for my results too. Btw, how come Fulbright has the final decision ? Can you also share your profile. P.S. Tonnes of congratulations.

I am in International female application with 2 years experience of working in Environmental Policy. My application has been sent by the IIE as a Fulbright Scholar. Eagerly waiting for the results. Stomach filled with butterflies 24*7. Totally hating this feeling.
