Just got unofficially accepted to MALAS today!!! I'm waiting for the official letter. Do you all know after how many days they send the official letter with financial aid info?

If your focus in South Asia, I would attend Oxford. I've heard that their South Asian Studies faculty is very knowledgeable and recognized. Georgetown is pretty limited but you have DC as a networking site. I imagine Oxford being cheaper than Georgetown so that's already a plus. Oxford has a widely recognized alumni as well. I feel like Oxford is more academia/research focused and Georgetown is policy-focused. I would definitely attend Oxford if I were you.

still nothing on my end.. they are probably sending decisions in waves.

Congrats! ? I applied to their Latin American Studies program but I haven't been notified yet. Maybe later tonight or next week?

how long ago did you receive your notification? I still haven't received anything

@niceswing I think we should just wait for next week.

I have not received a notification yet lol

Congrats!!

Omg! I totally understand you! At this point I don't know if checking GradCafe every hour is healthy ?

I'm creating this new forum for those who applied to the Latin American Studies program at Georgetown. Please feel free if you want to introduce yourself and talk about the admissions process. Good luck!!

I feel like I drank 4 cups of coffee with this update

Yes, I'm referring to the GSAS admissions committee. I'm also in the same boat as you are with the skepticism.

This could indicate that the admissions committee is reviewing SSP candidates first...?? Also wondering..

Haha I was about to say!! The rollercoaster has started.

Just curious, what program did you apply to?
