Boy your friend was so damn right about this. I want to just stop fussing over it but I somehow can't. Let's see what tomorrow holds for all of us.

    

I too just keep wondering if the school is that amazing or the fact that I want to get in is making me this crazy.

 

Nice way to put it across. Btw which course have you applied for?

Yeah I am hoping for the similar scenario.

i applies for MIA.   so what made us want to get in so much in the first place if the school is not that amazing? tricky...

Hello Cai,

looks like we are fighting for the same school

Did you apply to LSE ?

I think I will go to IHEID, making it my first choice... but again, I am leaning towards LSE, given its name and ranking,,I know ranking doesnt matter but again, when you are out in the real world, brand name do matter!!!! Good luck

Thx! The same to you!

i didn't apply for LSE. i think one year is a bit short...i'm not sure how much i can learn in such a short time.

but yes, LSE is more famous for sure. i'm also having doubts about all that rankings. in the Foreign Policy version LSE is the only one in the top 10 that is not a US school, so i guess it says sth. i'm not sure of its credibility though. what bothers me is that i cannot find IHEID in any of these rankings...sigh.

Haha, that's true.

My friend used a metaphor to describe our thinking and feelings. He said that IHEID and us like having a long time relationship. Maybe it's not the best choice, but we gave our heart to it. We worried, feared, and desperatly dreamed about it. And maybe the long waiting makes us dreaming it more. Now it's the time for harvest, if being rejected, we'll get really hurt in heart. And it would seem that we wasted our time on so many meaningless things in the past six months.

So from yesterday, I kind of told myself that I'm done with this school. Then I feel much better and I can focus on my thesis.

 

I'm having trouble focusing on my thesis too.

 

I feel it's like having a secret crush on somebody, All i can do is guess-does she like me?does she not like me? ....

Perhaps the alumni network? If you want to work in IOs...Actually I'm having some doubts recently. Leave location aside, is it really that good?

 

The tuition fee is like, wow... Even Geneva is expensive like crazy the total cost is very favorable compared to US schools.
