Well idk about the developed country citizens. Though, having lived in a developing nation all my life, I really know some of the grave issues plaguing the country. Though, yes, I haven't actually experienced it, the stark poverty or something. But then I do have a closer look of the scenario. That said, I also applied to gender and development course at Sussex.

Well I would rather see warm regards than best. Even I use Warm Regards to Isign most of my emails. It's simple and friendly

It's supposedly 40 days or 3 weeks after you receive the admissible mail. As of now there is nothing from them so well no clue. Plus I thought if writing to admissions, but my prior experiences have taught me lesson well enough about their administration. I will write them if by dec end there is nothing from their side,

I like the point you mentioned about bringing diff skills to the table. As long as you can put your point across and link your exp with your master preference, then there won't be a problem. I did the same, I mean the whole linkedin and fb jazz. Made me feel like a crazy stalker first . Plus I interacted with the current students via email before applying this time to get their opinions for letter of motivation as well as know their experiences. They absolutely love it. One of my friend just asked me to come to institute without considering any other choice just for the sake of the faculty they have there. Also, the average age is 26 like I mentioned before, but then it differs across diff programmes. Though I came across even mothers doing their MA and moving with their toddlers and husbands to geneva. So relax

U guys bring out some interesting points. I think those 3 things mentioned on their website is like a minimum criteria for them to consider the application file. Though later, to choose applicants, I am sure they must look for prof exp, international exposure as well languages and which school the person comes from. Definitely, I am sure they would have their opinions about a guy from oxford then let's say some other unknown college. Having said that, I do believe they look for diversity as pointed out by mickun. So, even if we aren't from such great schools, that doesn't mean we don't stand a chance at all. Yes it's less expensive than London but the tuition is like 14500 pounds while the modest living exp is like 10000 pounds a year. It means some real sh*t money. I am thinking to apply for their options of funding. Anyway, how will you fund your UCL studies? Secured scholarship?

Sheez! I just know like two languages fluently while I am learning French these days. :/

Alchyna yeah I guess so. I mean about the whole SOAS thing. LSE of course has more rep but i really am not fan of its curricula. While SOAS has a pretty good one. Haha, yeah I freaking read their website like my life depends on it. Kinda does. Anyway yes you are absolutely right about the points you mentioned above Alchyna. The only thing is they look for is good academics, statement of motivation and finally LORs. Others are imp, complimentary not as such compulsory. And yes Alchyna, we are going to be there if something goes wrong. Rather for anyone. Hope you guys do the same for me. I really won't be able to handle any more rejection from IHEID. Period.

Thank you Though I hardly think of it as a safety nets the living costs of living in uk n the fees is outrageous. Plus they haven't mentioned any funding opportunities yet.

Really? I heard the opposite. I mean how LSE is falling down while SOAS is much better. Okay great. This helps. Now only if Bristol may kindly give me scholarship too, it would be awesome. Let's see. Thanks anyway!

Maybe! It's quite possible. Anyway I just received my acceptance offer from Univ of Bristol for International Development. @thedoublebarrel, do you have any idea about the univ? I just applied for the kicks. Now I am thinking should I keep it as my safety school? I mean is it worth it?

Well I am sorry to hear that. Didn't know people can be that stupid.

Holiday packages

It did till last year. I know two ppl from my college who deferred last year in order to gain more exp. it's only this time have they added the clause of certain major reasons you can defer upon.

Really? Mean? I didn't know about that. :|

Hahaha. Btw what course are you applying to? Where?

Well I applied to this one school last year but was refused admission. I applied again, and so I am more than anxious about it. The whole what if I am rejected again deal is blowing my mind into pieces. For your questions thing, idk what can you ask, I mean esp at this point. There is actually ntn as such cuz I am sure you would know about your course and profs and everything and therefore you applied to that particular school. So well, not until and unless you are admitted can you have any questions.

Hahaha. I too did the same. I mean with the whole logging into the system thing. I thought I was crazy for doing so. Guess I am not the only one And yes I have read my schools website and attended so many info session just to get something about applications and results. No luck so far. Not only do I know the curricula and course names but I have looked on web about the city and other various stupid things.

I know what you mean. Even I am waiting for my top choices to get back so that I can look for the suitable course of action. I mean if I don't get into those I have applied to, I will apply for the jan deadline to other schools plus diff fellowships. Though, I am not lost out on motivation. It's just the financial reasons which have influenced me to take up this step.

Well I am not. I have no idea what to do. I mean I am waiting for my top choices to get back so that I can decide what to do next. If I don't get in there, I will start applying for other schools and fellowships. I am just waiting. And the wait is really a buzz kill. Doesn't even let me do anything else. Sigh. *sucks* What are you doing Loric to stop checking your application status and not losing your mind over this?

Hello doublebarrel, Happy that the thread could help you out. Also good luck for your application
