Is this for IHEID? If yes, then they won't get back before March to you. For ScPo, it takes usually 40 days!

Congratulations Also thanks for the info on Swiss. You mentioned how it was difficult for Americans to open bank accounts and easier for Australians. Do other foreign nationals have it easy or rough? I am an Indian who will be going abroad for the first time hence a lil wary of everything. Any additional info about anything is appreciated. Or maybe once there is a definite answer from IHEID will all this help more. In any case, thank you

Did you look into Mphil at Oxford? I dont know exactly if you are research oriented or more for hands on job prospects but anyway, check the programme out. Also there are many universities that offer just master in urban development and policy. Esp in USA as well some European countries. Anyway as for the whole IDS v/s SOAS v/s LSE, I think one has to talk to people from there and then make up their mind. I mean the whole choosing of the institute depends on ones future goals as well interests. So I hope you go through every institutes curriculum and course structure and then decide! Also one more thing, if you want to get in touch with fellow students, I suggest you check the institutes facebook groups! They have been immensely helpful to me. Hope they can help you out too!

I would certainly urge you to apply to SOAS as well ScPo. Both are really great schools esp for development. Even better than IDS. If not better then certainly more renowed. Though it's up to you cuz for me the end game is funding as well as the course structure. Apart from that, did you look into the US universities too? Anyway yes IHEID is like big attractive school here. Actually my top choices are IHEID, ScPo and SOAS. Btw what field of development are you keen in getting into? Plus where in India are you from?

Hi Cheikogin Welcome to the thread. So well I had applied to both IDS and SOAS and have been accepted for their masters programmes. If I was to choose within the two, I would definitely go for the latter. This does not mean that IDS at Sussex is bad or something but due to my own personal reasons. First, given that SOAS specialises in specific regions and my future goals are in line with it. Secondly the placement options at SOAS are much wider than that present at IDS and finally because even though both programmes are renowed, I love the electives offered at SOAS. I am sure you will have some of your own personal reasons to join these institutes. As for LSE, I have been in touch with some people working with international organizations as well as my seniors, none of whom mentioned lse as an option to apply too. Apart from that, their degree is a lil academically oriented while I prefer a practical career oriented one! Anyway good luck to you! Btw if I may ask are you focusing on any other schools apart from these 3 in UK?

Agreed with GeoDUDE Good luck with your admission faith123

Oh well if you look from a philosophical angle. It does seem better. More like on the lines of, umm, if you spend time in your bed lasting around, you won't get to appreciate things. Or Maybe I am totally bonkers with the pending admissions. Sigh.

Well so I got this today! " Everything has beauty but not everyone can see it." So if I add in bed like Corruptedinnocence suggests it! " Everything has beauty but not everyone can see it....in bed" :/ Nope definitely not better. :|

Standard Protocols

Yes i got through IDS. I applied by mid November!

Hi arbitist! Good to see you here. The deadline for ScPo is 3rd April. Though I would recommend you apply soon. I applied in November by 14th and got my result on 17th Dec. So well roughly like a month. However I have heard that they take more than 2 months to get back if you apply by say Feb end of March. One of my friends applied in March and got her results in June. So she was in a deep trouble with the visa and accommodation and funding opportunities. So well I would say apply ASAP. Apart from that good luck

Okay well so you have applied for more or less same courses as me at ScPo, SOAS and IHEID. Anyway nope. I didn't consider univeristy of Amerstadam. Didn't even know about it. Care to mention something on it? Anyway as for the whole visa thing, I don't know people who have completed their masters yet but people who are currently pursuing it. Though I visited the French embassy in India and they assured me that France offers a 5 yeas visa which you mention and that employment opportunities are amazing. So well, I am hoping I can work for an international organization after my masters. Even I am all for the two year courses rather than the one year and specifically for more or less same reasons you mentioned. Though for me, funding would be the only criteria to go to. Be it ScPo or IHEID or SOAS. So I am hoping for the best and preparing myself for the worst. :/

I agree with Mr. Bugle. We make mistakes and this one is not a grave one which you need to call attention too. After submitting my own applications, I rechecked my SOP and found some 2-3 grammatical mistakes. Trust me, it doesn't matter cuz I have 7 acceptances in my hand. Relax! And good luck
