Those who are leaning towards LSE for IR program, join the facebook group : https://www.facebook.com/pages/London-School-of-Economics-Msc-International-Relations-Taught-track/222856421232195?ref=hl

dpgu800, U made a really good case for LSE. I went to attend one conference last week and I met couple of Harvard Graduate guys who are running non-profit organization based in NYC. They were "Def. go with LSE" and that is the place for ur master. I know IHEID is amazing place and uni, i know by fact since my dad got his PhD from there, I am leaning towards LSE. This is one school that is comparable to Ivy league school in USA. Being in central London and its rigorous academic reputation, this should give me some advantages while applying for jobs after graduation. Since Kennedy went to this school, it is well known to US after Oxbridge..

Alchyana, it depends what program you are applying for..for IR taught program, all the students, domestic or international, pays the same tuition fees.

Hello guys, congratulations to you all for ur acceptance to different uni. After consulting to my professors, friends, family, I decided to attend LSE even though I did not get any aid. Even though IHEID was my top choice as my DAD got his PhD from there so I wanted to continue my family legacy..But career wise LSE looks much better for me. I got FULL ride to IHEID, got tuition waved from institution itself and got external scholarship that would cover everything. But I had to make a decision for long term. I hope I get to see some of you in LSE..I will be doing my Master in International Relation Taught Program...

Yeah Kartun..I am all for uni outside USA ..4 years of American perspective is good enough for life

Thanks ZakV, but in previous thread, they talk about the cost...I am more concerns about internship while at school and job after my graduation...

At LSE, I got admitted for Msc International Relations and at IHEID, I got admitted for Master in International Affairs.

I am in such a dilemma...I am having hard time deciding between LSE and IHEID... any ideas, cons and pros of these two uni is highly appreciated!!! Such as alumni network, job placement, internship opportunities and so on....

Sorry to hear carefreewritingsonthewall.... Stay positive, something will work out... Sending tons of prayers and hugs ur way..

Got Accepted by SAIS, John Hopkins with 50% scholarship.....but still rooting for LSE

Mickun88, he was told that they wanted to send out all the decisions today but due to unseen circumstances, they had to postponed until next week..They are working on it!! So that means those students who are under consideration, have to go through weekend long stress..

fikries, One of my friend called IHEID admission office and was told him that if you did not get any email and your online status has not changed, one should not worry about it..

Any MIA candidate here with scholarship/admission offer ?

Mickun88....That is true..Finally it is coming down to tomorrow !!! Good luck everyone!!! Finally your long waiting period will be over!!!

yayayaya, IHEID is making it easier for me at least to make a decision,,IHEID very much fail to impress me with their promptness in responding students with their query..Even though its small college and their volume of applicants arent as big as compare to some ivy league school, they are taking forever to give out decisions...Personally, I feel it also shows the working environment that presents within IHEID.. I know I am over reacting and reading too much in between the lines, but seriously this is what my impressions so far about IHEID...

I am going nuts waiting for the scholarship decisions. Even though I dont care about it anymore, just wanted to see their decision are based on need based or merit based...Good luck everyone for big surprises from IHEID.. I dont know what to expect from IHEID given their handling of application process...

argh....

Sorry to hear K-Angie... I hope Sciences Po works out for you.... IHEID is giving out big time surprises to its applicants...

I second that statement Bluebird86.. U can travel around Europe easily and in the cheaper rate...so u can have as many as country under ur belt so u can tell ur grandkids that u have been to many European countries

Gotcha!! Thanks Cai..You have IHEID..so go with it

Thank you guys.. Really appreciated!! Anyone applied to SAIS ? heard anything from them ?

Mych, I would def. if I could do that.

I hear you what you mean..so whats ur final decision ? Taking IHEID or LSE offer ? I am leaning towards LSE...
