Hello! I'm looking for information regarding different Human Rights or International Law programs of various law schools. Top recommendations are regularly Columbia, NYU, Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, GWU, Virginia, WashU, as well as others. What do you know how about how these programs differ? Also curious about joint MA/JD programs. Is anyone familiar with the joint degree at the University of Denver between its Josef Korbel School of International Studies (MA in International Human Rights) and the Sturm College of Law? Looking forward to hearing your input.

Your stats look pretty decent. I would recommend looking into the Fletcher School at Tufts University and also the Josef Korbel School at the University of Denver. Not much you can do about your GPA. But definitely make sure you write, edit, and revise your essays multiple times with some peer review. Good luck !!

Congratulations druthers! Just got an email, a no-go for me. Congratulations to all the others who were selected as finalists!

Percentage of foreign nationals compared to US citizens; If I'm not mistaken, I believe Columbia reserves 50% of its slots for international applicants. Ethnic make-up, if the school has a mix of various ethnic backgrounds or if its predominantly Caucasian.

Hey guys, So yea, DU's Josef Korbel School of International studies. How diverse is the student make-up? I found stats for DU but not for the Korbel school. Anyone know?

I had trouble accessing the site also, probably because everyone and their mother is checking now. Got my decision - also waitlisted.

Got my decisions today: waitlisted...whos knows, maybe I can still get in!

Got an email from Stanford, no-go for me. Congratulations to those who got in!

I submitted my application to Korbel around Jan 11th and received confirmation on March 3rd that I'd been accepted and offered a scholarship. Regarding UCSD, the only confirmation I got was via the application website, I haven't received an actual email. I think the financial package email will come at the beginning of April??

I applied to four schools: University of Denver; Korbel School (MA International Human Rights) Tufts University; Fletcher School (MALD) UCSD IR/PS (MPIA) Stanford University (MA East Asian studies) I received a message from UCSD via the online application but no word on funding... Korbel offered me at least 10k a year. Still waiting on Stanford ( and their FLAS). Haven't heard from Fletcher either and their web portal has been down (probably uploading decisions). Next two weeks perhaps? Has anyone here applied for the Pickering Fellowship too?

Mine's been down for about 24 hours. Hopefully they're updating decisions. New entry on the admissions blog too.

Haven't heard anything yet. Should be soon!

I just checked the online application system at UCSD and saw that I've been recommended for admission via message. So I'll probably get an email soon regarding official confirmation and financial stuff. They said I'll be considered for merit-based scholarships, but made no specific mentions. From what I read on their website, financial packages may not arrive until the beginning of April, maybe? I also got accepted in Denver's Josef Korbel School, with a GPA/GRE based scholarship. Today has been a good day!!! Now let's see about the other two schools....Anyone hear from Fletcher or Stanford yet?

Congrats Yatto on getting into Harvard!!! Has anyone had any trouble with the application to Stanford's MA in East Asian Studies?

You should check out the Korbel School at the University of Denver. Their Sie Fellowship program is led by a former CIA officer, and the school has an excellent reputation. They offer a certificate in homeland security alongside a degree in International Security Studies. Worth a look!
