  1. I declined and will be heading to a more affordable but very reputable school in Europe. Honestly, i think it's not worth bearing such a huge debt and enter any US school this time for this policy degree (I also declined Johns Hopkins and Columbia). I don't want to have a stressful life just to have a famous name on my CV. After all, I think it is not the school name but what you can do matters.
  2. I declined. I don't see any point to get debt and go to any US school at this time (regarding the policy degree) while can't expect much salary after the graduation. Good luck everyone on your endeavors!!
  3. Hi Guys. I haven't received my result for the scholarship reconsideration yet but got the invitation to talk with one of the school's professor. I wonder if this is one way to confirm on whether they want to allocate more funding to us ....Anyone got the same invitation ?
  4. Still no change to your application portal or MYFAID folks ? In previous years, both usually changed maybe 1-2 days or so before they released the results.
  5. Just got email some mins ago. It was a no. well...
  6. I guess cos I applied on the due day. It seems that the admission team processed our application whenever they accepted it, not at once after the deadline like HKS or elsewhere.
  7. I feel very happy, excited and proud of myself. I started studying English myself several years ago by watching CNN, reading book, doing Couchsurfing to practice my speaking .etc.. And with that effort now I got into an Ivy League ?? No scholarship so I will decline and hope someone else in the waitlisted will take it. Thank you a lot everybody and please have a nice weekend.
  8. Now I read my letter again, it says " In a few weeks you will receive specific information on the cost of attendance and possible sources of aid. "...Probably not much then ...haizzzz. Still, can't believe I got into Columbiaaaaaaa..happy happy
  9. Yayyy. I got in too. MPA-DP...But don't see any word on funding. Anyone got email about this ?
  10. nothing for me yet either... Can you view your decision directly on your portal ?
  11. Okay! Let's gear up and begin another wait folks...Today is Friday 13th...Amen!
  12. Okay! Gear up folks and let's begin another wait...Today is Friday 13th...Amen!
  13. Hi guys! it's already midnight here in Tokyo. My mom just called to check on me about corona cos I commute by train everyday. She even told me to wear the rain coat when going to work to prevent corona..bahahaha.. I think I am gonna be off to bed now. Too sleepy to wait any longer (but maybe I will wake up later at 3AM to check... ?)
  14. Like other communities, we have a wonderful group here too, helping each other with all kind of information to downgrade our blood pressure levels...I have had 2 glasses of wine and now is on the cloud though...?
  15. Deal!!! I'll bring some of our best bottles: Hakkaizan, Kubota, Dassai, etc.. to Cambridge ?
  16. I wish we all could gather at one place now...I would bring some bottles of Japanese sake to share with you guys while waiting. Well, we have many good sake...?
  17. Yeah that's true. People talked about that post as well...Seems that we may not hear about the result this week then...Haizzz...
  18. Anyone has his application portal changed? it seems that until last year, before they released the result people's portals had some changes but it is still silent this year, so I guess we will need to wait longer...also consider the virus...
  19. It is really confusing since the survey email said the result will come out around mid-march but the blog says it is March 20th. But since the blog was updated by the admission staff, I guess March 20th it is...
  20. I think we will hear around the end of this week. Did you get the email asking you do the survey (I think I got it last week) ? In the email, they said we will hear the result around mid-march " It’s an exciting time here in Oxford: even though spring not on its way just yet, the Blavatnik School of Government’s admissions team is busy finalising processing all of your applications. You can expect to hear from them around mid March. Good luck to all of you!" EDIT: I got the email on March 6th, last Friday.
  21. I get that. It was the same with previous years too. I meant they are preparing for the result now and we will hear about it very soon...My heart is bumping quicker than it did when I met my 1st love...
  22. Guys! i think the "message" option disappeared from my MYFIAD when I clicked on the "Menu". I checked several times but it showed the same. Something is happening...
  23. weird thing is no update to my email box yet. I just opened the portal and saw the good news haha. Anyway, I am gonna wash and sleep now. Really too drunk... ?
  24. hi guys!!! It's mid-night here in Japan and I got home drunk after friday drinking with my friends, open the portal and I got the updated....I am innnnnn. Yayyyyy. 2 years in bologna MAIA btw. No word on funding yet but I am too drunk to read all the long message. Will check on the weekend. Good luck everyone!!!
  25. Maybe you can compare their curriculum, the cost, the living environment and the career prospect to decide ? But anyway, congrats on your admissions. Both of them are great schools.
