Holy moly! Guess the wait is about to be over! I mailed Miss Jody (the admission administrative officer) a week ago concerning prospective interviews-- she said "Thank you for your inquiry. A Skype interview is an important part of the process if we feel we need additional information. Not all applicants on the short list are interviewed". Has anybody being interviewed yet?

Warm regards to you to Kushee. The program is still a little bit untested. Since the next graduating set would be the first set that would graduate from the programme. That said, the programme seems to be having people from all over the world because of the generously funding which would make it one of the most extremely competitive Peace programme. You seem to have the required background and experience required for admissions. We just have to wait and see! Best of luck Kushee!

welcome to the club of "mail obsession" nice meeting you!!!

Ha! It's nice to know am not the only one constantly doing the unhealthy thing of going through the portal like it would change anytime soon other than the April announcement. Yes. Your guess is right. I am applying for the International Peace Studies track. You being in Peace Corps sounds great. Did something like that here in Nigeria! But more or less creating Peace awareness at the grassroots level. Nice meeting you. Here is hoping we meet in Southbend too!

Hello, To keep myself from going through the Notre Dame application portal continuously. I decided to start this thread, to know how many of us applied to Keough School of Global Affairs. First of all, I'm a current Peace and Conflict Studies student at the University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. I'm applying to the International Programme cause for one, I feel inadequate in my current programme: 1. It is too "academicentric" and offer less practical knowledge 2. It doesn't have that feel of international concentration even though I'm specaislising in International conflict 3. Even though, the first set of students would graduate this year, I believe the Keough School of Global Affairs offers a more practicality to the field of Peace Studies in terms of the connection with international organisations and the immersion of students into practical world issues. well, I don't have another point! I would rather like to see other hopefuls while we wait for the admission committee resolutions
