I'm actually Swiss (no foreign background) and got an acceptance - reading your profiles here, I'm wondering how I deserved that Hope for those still waiting that you'll get a positive surprise tomorrow! Previous schools (name, type): University of Bern, Switzerland Previous degrees and grades: Bachelor in Business Administration, Minor in Business and Civil Law (with ok grades) started Master in Business Administration (with good grades), took some classes on Sustainable Business/Development + a long list of extracurricular activities International experience (countries, reason, duration): Business Internship in Russia, 5 months total Erasmus Exchange Semester in Copenhagen, Denmark Travelling, international camps Previous work experience (duration, type): internship in IT project management Holiday jobs in process management in a small IT company Math/econ background: did college with focus on Maths and Application of Physics & had Math, Economics and Statistics classes at university Languages (how fluent?): (using CEFR) (Swiss) German native, English (C2), French (B1-B2), Spanish (A2-B1), Danish (A1), Russian (basic skills) Intended field of study in grad school: MDev, interested in connection of business and development, as well as sustainability Long-term professional goals: unsure yet Schools applied to & results (funding?): IHEID (without funding), if not admitted, I would have stayed at my university. Ultimate decision & why: will go to IHEID! Any advice for future applicants? start early preparing your things and think a few weeks about why you really want to go there. (was my 2nd try - first time I had way less international experience and my motivation letter was very general)

thank you everyone - I'm feeling way more confident now Of course I'll keep my fingers crossed for those still waiting for the decision.

Hi everyone - I've applied for MDev at Graduate Institute and got a mail by 18:09 starting with "We are pleased to inform you that the Admission Committee of the Graduate Institute, Geneva has decided to offer you admission to one of our programmes in light of your excellent academic credentials ..." and tells me to check the admission module for more information. In the admission module I'm still set to "under consideration", so this is confusing me a bit - maybe they didn't have time to change the status online before the weekend? On the other hand, they mentioned that only the e-mail information is binding, so I just hope it is really true...
