I don't think there's anything wrong with calling now and saying that you were reading online discussions where people already heard back, so you just wanted to check if they had already issued decisions for all students or if maybe they do rolling decisions. It's a pretty neutral and valid question, I think you're within your rights to find out now lol

That's a good advice! I will keep you posted!

@Graccce6688, agreed. It doesn't hurt to ask. Honestly, it may make you seem more impressive that you are being proactive about it.

Thanks! Did you also apply to MASIA?

Did you call them today to ask? Shouldn't be any harm in that!

No I didn't. I think it's better to wait until next week probably? Did you apply early or something?

Correct, I received an e-mail informing me of acceptance from Robert Lyons on Monday at 5pm, and the e-mail notifying about portal being updated today.

And nice, I applied to Fletcher too. For sure hope you get into MASIA though With any luck they do quasi-rolling or something.

Ok, congratulations! I will wait until I hear anything back. Thank you!!

@Graccce6688 Hope this helps. You could expect to hear back by April 1 or earlier as per what they've mentioned here: https://fletcher.tufts.edu/admissions-aid/application-deadlines

Thanks!! I didn't notice that you applied the early notification. I think the regular round will release result next week!

Ahhhh I hope it works out! ? Now I'm stressed for you heh-- be sure to report back once you find out.

Where else did you apply? 

Sure! I applied to Fletcher too. Did you say that you got MASIA acceptance by email directly, not an email about updates on your portal? (as you said your portal updated this afternoon

Yes, e-mail a couple of days ago and this afternoon they updated the online portal. Maybe check there, and if there's no update, call them? Also check your spam folder, I had read one or two people say in past years' posts on this forum that the admissions decision e-mails ended up there (I think it was for SAIS, not Georgetown, but you never know).

Fingers crossed for you!! 

Thanks for sharing that!! I actually check very regularly and nothing comes up... I am not sure if MASIA is rolling based because what I heard from previous years was that people got result on the same day. I am soooo nervous because that's my top choice...
