SIXX A.M.

1)Rap, Hip Hop, Club and whatever crap Kesha, Miley Cirus, Justin Beiber etc etc play. 2)Europeans - overrated and a totally weird sense of entitlement. 3) LOL this, LOL that, You've Got SWAG, OMFG You are a Swaggot,. ( SWAG.....?????????.- what does it even mean??) 4) Vodka 5) the fetish to put everything You see on Instagram. 6) the Chinese fetish for white thing

I have no words to describe how I feel right now. A simple refusal without this glitch would have been much better. I will simply follow my father's advise and join a finance degree at HEC, Paris. Anyway, it's 7pm on a Friday night in the eastern part of the world. Time for me to hit some tequilla and salt !! A big congrats to all those who have been accepted at IHEID. And all the very best to those who are still under consideration. Ciao

@ 35 guests, and 4 an anonymous users- I would really appreciate it, if you could let is know, whether you are facing similar mismatches too or not?

Graduate Institute - Application update in my case, not admission.

I thought I was gonna pop champagnes tonight, but seems like I will confine myself to my room with my jar of whiskey, once this is all sorted out

Congrats btw, may I ask what does your portal say?

I hope they will have to create extra spaces for us. This is unacceptable, by all means.

Being under-consideration was so much better.

Well since the portal says email is binding, I hope, they will have to accept us all to save their faces:p

Okay. This is bizarre. I got an email saying that I have been accepted. However, my online portal says I am refused. :/

Another point, if you are looking for Masters in International Economics, you can also work on and improve your STATA/SPSS Skills. You could probably work as a RA under a professor from Macro-economics.

In my opinion, you could work on your GRE. A good GRE Score can compensate to a great extent if you say you have poor math background. Besides, I am assuming that you are a fresh undergrad, so work on ECA's. ECA's matter a lot for an undergrad student. No point comparing ourselves to people with extensive work ex, it's like comparing apples and oranges. My advice - GRE. And if You think you need more ECA's, do it. Besides, you can try your hands at some undergrad research, emphasize a bit on final year thesis. ( You took courses in Micro, and Macro, so you don't really need to worry about a poor math background. You would have done enough applications of calculus there. After all, you don't wanna be a mathematician, but proficient in application of Maths, so your 3.9 GPA is good enough ) All the best

"Tonight, there is gonna be a fight, so if u need a place to go....." Is what keeps playing in my head, as I anxiously wait for my IHEID result !! Good luck to all the applicants

Wow. That's great. Looks like I still have a lot to learn, I am just an Undergrad and I expect to graduate in 2014. Can some one please enlighten me about the class profile at IHEID( basically, the proportion of fresh undergrads)? Thanks

Amazing idea Mych. I think it's too soon for me to post it, but well, I think posting it is probably the best way to keep my eyes off the follow up page. So here it is: Previous schools (name,type): 2nd tier University, Not Impressive. Previous degrees and grades: BSc Economics (First class) International experience (countries, reason, duration): China- Exchange Program with a Chinese University ( 1 year) Previous work experience (duration, type): No real work experience but do have some internships exp 3 months : working for a NGO in India. 3 months : Investment Banking Analyst in India. 3 months : Quants Trader (Intern) BNP Paribas Shanghai Math/econ background: Yes Languages (how fluent?): Hindi (Native), English ( Fluent), Mandarin (Fluent) Intended field of study in grad school: Master in International Development (hopefully along with a CFA degree) Long-term professional goals: Development Banking ( consulting - the last resort) Schools applied to & results (funding?): accepted at SciencesPo,LSE and HEC Paris, Awaiting- IHEID Ultimate decision & why:

I kind of agree with that.. I just hope I can say TGIF tomorrow and I hope the same for you all. Good luck

Cool Signature. K_Angie. Congrats

I hope region wise is not the case, though it seems so!! :/

Anyway, Congrats everyone who got their offers And All the very best to all those who are still waiting(such as me).. ( It's a long way (wait) to the top if you wanna rock n roll )! \m/

Ah!! Same here, second round applicant. I am sick of being a part of this hot or not being played by a few faculty members with my applications now. Can't keep it up with the anxiety now. Lol And as far as your theory goes, - I just hope it's completely flawed. Lol.( don't mind me saying that haha, after such a long wait, I would not wanna read that theory in the last possible 48 hours of my acceptance ) I would like to think that they are picking up the applications randomly, and thus mine has been delayed.

Hello Everyone! I have been following this thread on a regular basis. But this is my first post here. I thought I could cope up with my anxiety by simply reading it online, but apparently, I can't. I have applied for IHEID, MDEV program, and my application is still under consideration. Anybody here whose application is still under consideration for MDEV?? Thanks.
