I’m likely going to defer for SAIS (if that’s an option?), and attempt to work as much as possible over the next year. I’d like to knock some time off of my Boren federal service requirement in the meantime since I don’t plan to stay in government, but I’m not sure if that’s realistic.

So for my “Gift Award” as well as loans it only says 2021...does that mean I haven’t been offered any awards for my first year?

I am in! One year in Bologna and one year in DC! Was also alarmed to not see anything about financial aid...I completed the FAFSA, but it seems like the email SAIS Europe folks didn’t mention aid at all... All the best, everyone!

I saw someone write that it was 6 PM EST last year

Oh, very nice! I applied for the international law concentration. Hope we get to meet in Bologna!

I applied for the MA! One year in Bologna one in DC.

I got to speak with the Director of Admissions for SAIS Europe and in the email follow up to our conversation she said: ”we will be in touch after March 6th.” Hoping that COULD mean tomorrow, but who knows? All the best everyone!

Congrats on your acceptances! Did you apply early to American? I was accepted two weeks ago but still haven’t received any info regarding scholarship offers.

Who else applied for SAIS Europe?

My interview was very similar. The interviewer spent a surprising amount of time talking about the program, and shared quite a bit about his time as a student. I also walked away with the impression that I had a good a chance ? fingers crossed! Best of luck everyone!

I was last person to interview the day I went in and the Director of Admissions came over to say hello. She had said we could hear as early as March 6th, but the 13th seems much more realistic.

I just finished mine in person. Was yours more of an interview or a conversation? It started off as very interview like and became increasingly casual, pleasantly so.

Received my acceptance yesterday for the MA in Global Governance, Politics, and Security. I haven't had the chance to speak to any SIS alumni, and I'm trying to pick out what American's comparative advantages are over other schools...any thoughts anyone? Also, has anyone visited for an open house? If so, how was your experience?

Has anyone done their interview for the Bologna program? I’m heading to NYC today for mine...

My fellowship adviser just reached out to me to say that notifications for UK partnership applicants will be coming out today! It seems as if last year everyone on the spreadsheet heard back between 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm EST(?). Finger crossed! Good luck everyone!
