sure enough as quantic said, i received my waitlist letter in the mail today. but at least i can move on now and decide which school i want to attend. good luck to all of you on deciding.

Not many people who have already received their acceptance from Georgetown has talked about funding. For those who have already gotten their admissions notice, did you receive any funding from the school? Still waiting for my letter. I'm wondering if funding has anything to do with how late their decision is for a number of people.

i haven't gotten anything either in the mail or by email. just waiting it out....

fenderpete, and others that are interested - i'm a 2008 college graduate. spent the past year doing internships that focus on research-related work on national security policy. i think what helped though was that my last internship was related to defense-related policy that is pertinent to NATO's goals. i also clearly stated in my personal statement a rough idea of how i think NATO should re-orient in the 21st century, my near-term goals, and what i hope to make of the internship.

sorry you didn't hear good news. fortunately i was shortlisted but it'll probably be a long while until they finalize their decisions.

i don't particularly enjoy the waiting game :|

Here check this ranking by Foreign Policy Magazine: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms. ... 685&page=1 Of course you shouldn't go by this ranking definitely, but it gives you somewhat of an idea of where some schools stand. Any of the top 20 though is great.
