  1. Does GW send funding offers days/weeks after offering acceptance? I got in to their MAIA program, but no word on funding. I got 18k from American, but would much prefer to go to GW.
  2. I'm in the same boat and haven't heard anything from GW. I got into their MAIA program. Have you heard anything?
  3. My SAIS Europe decision came back, didn't get in. Gonna be between American and GW for me. Best of luck to everybody else! I'm signing off for good haha.
  4. Received my acceptance to the MAIA program last week but still nothing on funding ? I like American's program a bit more and they offered me 18k in funding, so unless I get a significant amount more from the Elliot school I may end up at SIS. Still waiting on admissions and funding from SAIS as well.
  5. Thanks, I haven't heard anything from FAFSA but got my funding from American. Did you reach out to FAFSA first or did they just email you?
  6. Has anybody else here heard anything from FAFSA? I sent in my info for all 3 schools I applied around the same time I submitted my applications. Still haven't heard anything, although I have received funding info from American.
  7. Just checked, and mine is cleared out as well. I imagine we'll hear something soon!
  8. Program Applied To (MPA, MPP, IR, etc.): MA in International Affairs Schools Applied To: Johns Hopkins SAIS Europe, American SIS, GW Elliot School Schools Admitted To: American SIS (still waiting on funding) Schools Rejected From: None so far Still Waiting: SAIS, GW Elliot School Undergraduate Institution: Highly ranked private liberal arts school Undergraduate GPA: 3.39 (Rough start to undergrad, averaged a 3.60 my last four semesters) Undergraduate Major: International Affairs with a minor in Russian language. GRE Quantitative/Verbal/AW Scores: None! Years Out of Undergrad (if applicable): 1.5 Years of Work Experience: 1.5 Describe Relevant Work Experience: I work at a federal policy research firm, not related to international affairs at all but heavily focused on dissecting policy. Most of my time is spent dissecting COVID-19 policy and data. Interned at international affairs think tank during undergrad. Strength of SOP (be honest, describe the process, etc): I thought they were pretty good! I had friends who were also Int'l Affairs majors review them and help me edit. I tailored each one to each specific program but they were all quite similar. SIS required 3 short essays, GW required one 500 word essay, SAIS required two 600 word essays (analytical essay and SOP). I spoke about my experience with COVID-19 data and how I would like to use my skills in an international setting. Strength of LOR's (be honest, describe the process, etc): Strong, I used two professors who I worked with for 2+ years in undergrad. Both know me on a personal level and academic level. Other: Happy with getting into American, they have a huge focus on professional opportunities which is what I'm after. I think SAIS Europe is a reach for me but you never know. I have already studied and lived in Bologna (where the first year of the program is), so I think that may benefit me in the long run. Think I have a good shot at GW since I got into American, those two schools are usually after the same students.
