Hi everyone, I've been lurking around for some time now and it's been reassuring to know other people are also tired of waiting and as anxious as I am... I applied for Mdev and my status is still "under consideration". Applied on 2nd round. I am a young professional (well not that young anymore hahaha) and only applied to IHEID (I live in Switzerland) No scholarship request. Good luck to you all. Hopefully 2nd post will be news :-) Cheers
