Hey guys.. Have you already received the answer?!

Hey guys! does your application says "Under consideration" too? I'm so nervous... IRToni, could you post the link to last year's thread? Thank you...

@justpeace, try the mygisa page! Under the voice "Finding accommodation" there is all you need to know... As for the request for accommodation @cocteautwin, I believe that during the last online session of December they mentioned something about sending the invitation to apply for accommodation only after one has been admitted, in order to avoid confusion. We will see, because in the last years they were sending these emails on the 29-30 of January...so here we are!

Wooow... You must have a wonderful CV with all these interns all over the world. Have you seen on the IHEID's page the opportunities for internships? (on the careers page) As for the accommodation I believe that, on the GISA page, there are plenty of resources for looking for housing. Have you seen it?

Grad888 I'm applying for the International Law program, that is disciplinary; IR would be a minor so the courses on genocide would be complementary. I'm a law student basically, but I also speak 5 languages, so I worked as translator in the Court room, did some legal apprenticeship, volunteered in integration programs for immigrants and so on. Genocide is a personal interest but I haven't done anything besides MOOC's or individual research. Have you done internships or similar? As for the accommodation, I believe that they give priority to students who come from far away, like South Africa, USA, Cina... I saw that you are currently living in Australia, but I don't know if you qualify in their view for the Student House, given that you are also a swiss national. I am from Milan and that is 500 km from Geneva so I believe I cannot qualify for Picciotto. Indeed accommodation is also one of my concerns....

Sorry guys! I've explained myself awfully. What I meant with homogeneous was that if we, all, have extensive international exposure or have studied in more than one country o have had international work experiences, we can bring equal contributions to our groups in terms of awareness.. (because we have the same TYPE of background, that doesn't imply the same experiences). It was the homogeneity of the type of background, not the homogeneity of experiences or views (that must, by any means, be diversified). Does it makes any sense for you? And moreover, I was thinking: If they have 2000 applicants per year, but they admit only 30% this means that the other 70% aren't so internationally oriented and this is why the are rejected, or there is kind of a "level on internationalization" that one must have? @Grad888 Congrats!!! I am very happy for you!! Hopefully we'll have the chance to meet in Prof. Bhavnani's course @Justpeace, Leiden Univ is wonderful. It was my third choice, after Science Po. But I have only applied to IHEID for now, because it is "the place" where I want to go...

Ahahhahah... Indeed strategies aren't helping very much... I am working on a paper but half of my thoughts are about the application. They told me during the online sessions that besides the student's profile, the admission depends also on the level of homogeneity between the admitted applicants...I mean, as far as I could understand, that they are trying to gather homogeneous classes in order for the students to work well among them...So I was looking in the forums to see who else was applying, in order to understand the level of international background and work experiences or grades that other applicants had.... Have you talked to other applicants?

Hello guys! I have applied for the Master in International Law...and I am literally terrified by the idea of not being accepted!!! IHEID is my only choice 'cause I would love to live in Geneva and the program teaches exactly what I want to study (I am interested in human rights, terrorism and genocide). I am checking the status of the application every single day, but it still says "application received: complete" Yours too has the same status? Meanwhile good luck to you all!!
