I haven't received any communication either. Let me know if you find anything out.

Right now I've been accepted to the International Affairs: U.S. Foreign Policy degree at American. The nice thing about the dual masters program, it seems, is that you don't have to apply for it until towards the end of your first year at American. Then, if you decide it seems to be fit for you, you can apply and spend your second year in another country. Thanks for the great info about Korea, by the way! Yes, I definitely think it looks like a great country to study in. I've spent time in both Japan and China before, but never Korea. And a decrease in cost of living would always be nice of course Which degree/country were you interested in? I'm trying to figure out if there would be any downsides to doing this program, but I've yet to think of any. I think you could make the argument that you will lose out on taking advantage of job connections/networking in D.C. by being away for a year. Also, there could be some difficulty coming back and trying to find a job if you haven't already got one lined up.

Does anyone have any familiarity with the Dual International Masters program at American SIS? I just noticed it for the first time and it looks like a pretty amazing opportunity. Basically you spend one year at American and then your second year at one of the partner schools (Japan, Korea, or Costa Rica) and you come out with two Masters degrees. You can read about it here: http://www.american.edu/sis/sisabroad/graddual/info.cfm Personally, I think the Human Security & International Organization degree at Sookmyung in Korea looks fascinating. But yeah, I'd love to hear any opinions people have on this. Two degrees in two years for basically the cost of one sounds like a great deal to me (assuming you're actually interested in one of the dual degrees offered, of course)

I just received my acceptance today (hurray!) as a package in the mail. The letter was dated March 8th, so it's been awhile since it was written. I live in Texas, so I'm guessing that might partly explain what took so long. There wasn't any mention of scholarship in the packet for me, so I'm guessing that means nothing? I might call just to verify.

Thanks for the info! I guess I'll keep watching the mailbox

Has anyone received a decision or update from the Georgetown SSP? I haven't heard from them at all except back in January to let me know they received my application. I did see on the results search, however, that one person has received a rejection. Anyone else have an update on this?

The admissions buttons showed up on my page today!! Hurray!

What if our admissions page doesn't have the "accept" or "decline" button? Are admission decisions still being made?
