Any thoughts on SIPA vs. SAIS for geopolitical risk / market-entry type private sector work?
Probably slight advantage to SIPA for location and relationship with places like Eurasia group.

To you as well, nothing yet. They did not, however, fail to mention that a Georgetown education is pricey. Do keep us updates though.
Have you heard anything on funding yet?
-
Welp, no update to my letter/portal since my acceptance in Dec...

I'm in! No mention of funding other than the sentence, "In a few weeks you will receive specific information on the cost of attendance and possible sources of aid." Did everyone's say this?
Lol my early notification letter said that. Still haven't gotten anything.
-
Did anyone who got in early notification receive an update re funding?

I wouldn't necessarily have this change your thinking. Schools have sent stuff like this in the past. Just a big hedge.

Just got my SSP admission email from Payton!
Same, congrats! Any word on funding in your notification? Mine just said official notice is forthcoming, so assuming it would be in there.

thanks! I guess at least we know the admission team is still open? what do you make of it?
also correct me if I'm wrong but I heard that it is quite usual for admission teams to work during spring break, which is really sad to hear
Sounds like it amounts to business as usual.

Right, but hopefully it'll be this week since March 16-20 is Spring Recess. Not sure if the Admissions Office would work during the break....
I'd be shocked if they release after Friday...

Ok I will end up either loving or hating that song :))) was it only when you first open it or does it have the song everytime you do?
Every time! There are also cascading blue crowns when it's opened.

Not sure if it helps or hurts, but I just re-opened my letter to see if there were any updates and it reminded me that it plays New York, New York, by Frank Sinatra when it opens. I remember when I opened it originally and the music played before I was able to read anything ?

@spnfiim said an MPA-EPM result was released yesterday and that results should be released today. I'm not holding out hope though. COVID-19 has thrown everything off. Hope I'm proved wrong.
Do they usually release MPA/MIA the day after MPA-EPM?

Well we can't get denied if we never get the results ...
Factually accurate

Well, here we are again..

While we're desperately digging for scraps of information - did you receive the email or notice the change to your portal at 7:45 PM?
EDIT: Thanks for indulging us frantic balls of stress
Lol I got an email saying my decision was ready and to check the portal, but I wasn't checking the portal at the time and suspect it may have been up for a bit before I got the email (that's been my experience elsewhere from similarly furiously updating portals during business hours). Wasn't expecting it at night and had just poured myself a whiskey and was firing up Star Wars. You know, that whole thing about a watched pot..

That is a good data point to know. All the other schools that use the same application system (Yale, Johns Hopkins SAIS, etc.) that I've encountered tend to hide the checklist before releasing. I guess hiding the checklist is not a requirement.
Yup, very possible they disappear once they send out all decisions, though. May just be how they treat the portal for the early notification round.

Just now, thediesel said:
Yes, absolutely. The sign that decisions are about to be released is usually when the checklist disappears. In my experience with other schools, the email gets sent within a couple hours after the portal is updated. The fastest way to know is to check the portal (or here because people will definitely say something).
I was accepted in the early round and my checklist is still present, FWIW (though it may disappear once the remainder of notifications are sent).

I believe decisions are up! I was accepted EA and just received my financial aid letter via the portal.
Same! Surprisingly generous offer, too...

Did you understand if it will arrive today?
I got an email this AM saying that we should be hearing very soon on funding detail (I got in on the early notification round), which should coincide with the rest of the decisions. I take that as meaning this afternoon.

I received an email from the SFS Admissions Director on Tuesday saying that they are recommending to Georgetown's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences that I be offered a place on the waitlist. She said Georgetown's Graduate School will release an official offer on March 23 with instructions on how to respond to a waitlist offer.

Are you both referring to the SFS security studies program or the MSFS program?

What do you mean by "the NYC life?" Of course it's located in NYC, just wondering if if that was meant to connote something that deterred you. Thanks!
