The Graduate Institute Geneva(IHEID) 2017-2018
Akansha replied to Yagizoztepe's topic in Government Affairs Forum
haha, let's hope so! but my gpa is pretty low so that puts my chances on stake. also, according to some of the students i spoke to claimed that not knowing french doesnt affect the decisons. lets hope we dont get trampled in such weird politics. -

"I am actually pretty shocked! I wonder who got in then? Not to be cocky but I have 3 First Author Publications along with respected Professors who also gave me glowing recommendations. Plus 2 years working experience at UNICEF" After this, i really don't know. -

But this new thing that has surfaced stressed me out wayyy tooo mucchhhhh .. they usually don't do that, wtf?!!? we all hear back together, right? Also, they have been rejecting really good profiles!!!! I STAND NO CHANCE! -

Ah, thanks for letting me know and heartiest congratulations to you. All the very best for the scholarship, too. Would you know anyone applying for ANSO being accepted too? -

Um, okay guys, my application got postponed to be evaluated in this round (I applied for the early bird application) - would you know if that is a bad sign or very normal? It really has freaked me out, and now with the results approaching, I have been doubting my application again and again. Does anyone know people who have already been admitted to the disciplinary courses? -

No they're not honestly. And yes, I graduated from xavier's, Kolkata last year with a degree in Sociology. I did not want to go to any other place except for IHEID. Actually, i made it to a couple of unis last year but I could not go because of lack of funding. I am currently enrolled at a Masters program here, but IHEID seemed too good to let go. Hence, applying there this time! -

Haha, I know a couple other from India who've applied! ah, congrats on you making it to those places. Is IHEID your top choice? I have only applied to IHEID for ANSO. A very big risk, I know! -

Sociology graduate program - I need your opinions please!!
Akansha replied to speechfan222's topic in Sociology Forum
it is never a bad idea to apply, and once you get through you can decide. or prolly start thinking over after applying. however, since you wish to learn, the least you can do is apply atleast. things will work out, they always do. P.S. As a Sociology student myself i would recommend you wholeheartedly to go for it. it will be absolutely worth it and a life-changing experience. -

@Wandering Gyspy Hi, I think your most recent grades matter more. However, do email the admission department and they'll reply you back with the inputs, and personally I believe that would be a wiser thing to do given they'd know exactly what the deal is and would not leave you confused. We, here, would merely be speculating. The admissions team is really very helpful and quick. I have bugged them with the silliest of the questions and they've been very tolerant and patient :). As for the recommendation letters, get it from anyone you feel will be able to comment on your credibilities and potential well. So you can do the permutation-combination accordingly. They seem to stress on this very much. Do check out the recordings of the webinars that are uploaded on the website. They will be extremely helpful and will answer a lot of your questions. All the best! Stay connected! -
