Got my decision mid-last week, I got in as well! Very excited, but no aid How do you all think Fletcher compares to SAIS, SIPA, and the GHD program at Georgetown?

Was informed a few days ago I got in! So excited! But have to take an econ class this summer :/

Hi All! Congratulations to everyone! I also got into SIAS Bologna - didn't apply for IDEV, though looking back I should have! But it is SAIS after all! No funding either :/ Also admitted to Georgetown GHD program and Tufts Fletcher - none with funding Would you all choose SAIS non-IDEV over the other two?

Thank you MaitreTea! May I ask what other schools you were looking into before deciding on GHD and why you made the final decision to enroll in this program? Also, how difficult are the quant classes? >_<"

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Yes, please do post about the admitted students day, that would be very helpful!

Thank you Gov2School! Good luck on admissions! Which one is your #1 choice?

Thank you both for responding! theskinny - would you be able to give us an update about the admitted students day? I will be unable to attend. Will you be joining the upcoming chat? I also got an acceptance on February 27th, which sent me over the moon. I am still waiting to hear from some other programs. Initially the program sounded wonderful and I liked the small classes, the attention to the students, it being in SFS - but I am worried about the "kinks" and the fact that it is a new program. Do you all have any thoughts on that? To bleu929: I graduated cum laude from a top 10 IR undergrad, mediocre GRE scores, and 2.5 years working experience in NGOs and experience with the UN.

Has anyone heard from Fletcher, SIPA, or SAIS yet? Would really appreciate any feedback! Am anxiously awaiting a response - doing what we should not be doing, which is reloading my email every 10 seconds! ><" I just realized that this was specific to MPA - has anyone heard from SIPA yet?

Just wondering if anyone else has gotten an admit/rejection from GHD and wanted to talk more about the opportunities or thoughts on going to GHD. Also - if anyone is currently in GHD, would you mind sharing your experiences? A BIG thank you!

Sorry for the tangent but - has anyone here heard a response from SAIS yet?

Hi! Could anyone who is already enrolled in the GHD program let me know what your thoughts are on the program? Are you able to interact with SFS students outside of GHD? Are the small entering cohorts a positive or negative? How is the GHD program being viewed/accepted by the larger IR schools/communities? I was accepted to the program and am very excited about it, however I just wanted to get some insight from current students. Thank you! (And sorry for the multitude of questions!)
