Hello everyone !
I haven't been active on this thread for so long . I thought I would get a e-mail notification whenever someone posted something but I didn't. I'm so sorry su_nayana for not replying to you.
I've applied for the Mdev this weekend (january deadline). I'm already a wreck and I still have to wait for a couple of months. GOSH. Finger crossed for all of you brave early bird applicants.
Here are two interesting threads t(not only for early applicants, for those applying to IHEID in general). They're quite old, but might still be useful:
For those applying to the Mdev here is another one (it's full of horror stories about people whose portal statuts said they were refused, while their email said they were accepted. If that happens to me, I'll kill someone).
Teayon i'm glad to hear you've studied in France and know how the grading system goes here. I'm a French student myself and it's horrible. My grade are not really high (like every French student): from 11 to 14/20. I hope the committee will take into consideration the fact that our universities rarely give students grades that go beyond 12/20. I've studied in the United Kingdom for a year, and found it much easier. I managed to get Bs while it's nearly impossible to get such a good grade at home.
Also, I forgot to add one of my grade transcripts to my application, so ended up sending an email to the woman in charge of the applications files. I even called her and she was really prompt to reply and so lovely. I love her, hahaha. You probably didn't need to know that. But I'm going quite crazy, so bare with me.
