Anyone heard from JH SAIS for PhD programs? Looks like some Masters results are coming in today
I think they will publish their result on March 26.

Sorry that happened to you. Hopefully you showing that you submitted the transcripts will get them to review your file but if they've already sent out admits I'd say the best you could hope for would be a waitlist since sending someone an admit after they've already sent them all out would likely mess with their numbers/estimates. You can't really do much other than that; you got dealt a bad hand with OSU in an already REALLY bad cycle, you'll just have to roll with it. If it makes you feel any better I have a friend who applied to OSU for Computer Science and he had a similar thing happen, seems like OSU as a whole might be a bit backwards when it comes to transcripts.
Thank you so much for sympathy and support. It's really doesn't make any sense, and yes I already provided them all the evidences. Will see what they come up with on Monday. Would it be possible to share the email address of your friend? I could ask him how did he dealt with this?

Seeking advice, if possible.
I never received any notification from OSU, today I reached out to the department and (shockingly) this is the reply I received:
"I just asked our program coordinator about your file, and apparently it was not reviewed by our panel because it was Incomplete due to the absence of official transcripts. I’m very sorry about this, and wish I had better news for you. I wish you all the best in your graduate studies."
When I replied with evidence that I have submitted official transcripts:
"Thank you for this information. I will check with the graduate school administration to try to understand the reasons for this error. In the meantime, I apologize that the admissions system did not work."
Does anyone have similar experiences? Any advice on what should I do with this? It looks they screwed up! Thanks.- gradpumpkin, Barry B. Benson and AHD

I think it's a mix.
I see, but it says Political Science, nobody claimed SAIS though.

Hi! I was reading some previous comments on this forum and read someone saying that they got accepted. I'm kind of confused if it's a different program (the person applied to 2 different programs, one IR and one Political Science) or something else but I remember that person saying SAIS. I may have read it wrong but if I did, please let me know because i'm nerve wracking right now haha and goodluck to you!
As far as I know (and talked couple of applicants I know personally), SAIS didn't published any result yet. They are currently reviewing the application but couldn't get the information when they will send the decision. The information we see on the result page is John Hopkins Political Science, which is different from SAIS.
Let's us know if you know anything precisely about SAIS. -

Hi everyone!
I also applied to Johns Hopkins SAIS. Seeing people getting accepted I didn't get anything yet. Are someo of you on the same page as me? Wish you all the luck
Hi there,
I also applied to SAIS but didn't hear anything yet. May I ask where did you saw people getting accepted. I do not see any update on the result page! -

I'm basing it on the Gradcafe results page for JHU's political science program.
Right, no history for SAIS though!

I applied to JHU. Based on previous years, it seems they send out results between February 15th and February 28th. Looks like we have a bit of waiting.
Portal history for Political Science dept. or SAIS ? I thought it's for Political Science Dept.

Does anyone apply to John Hopkins SAIS? Any update so far?

I think I mentioned this before but BU is known for not telling people when they’ve been waitlisted or rather any status update at times, so it wouldn’t hurt to send an email.
Similar issue with Ohio State and UChicago, didn't get any notification yet from them as well. Any idea what they are known for? Silent means rejection or what?

Not UCLA. USC and Chicago
I have some quant background due to my Bachelor and Master degrees. So I’m sure actual experience and training would be viewed more positively than a standardised exam.
Make sense, thanks!

I also think the GRE is less important than usual, otherwise they would have made it compulsory or at least recommended. I personally didn’t take the GRE and therefore did not submit scores.
I feel relived to know that! Just to make sure, even without a GRE score you got acceptance from UCLA and Chicago? I tend to think UChicago program is heavily quant focus, therefore they prefer candidate with strong quant background.

they are all trolls in my opinion...
What is their benefit? What they aim to get out of it? I just do not understand why would they confuse us in this tensed time!
