I think there is probably a correlation with caring enough to be checking this silly website and receiving a scholarship (at least that is what I am telling myself lol) -- I read that only 20% of admitted students receive any form of aid!

Congrats to you both! I received a Public Service Scholarship for $10,000/year (which I believe is just about 20% of tuition).

An admissions official told me March 5th -- I just want it to be Friday as well!

Wagner is out! I was admitted but no word on funding yet (says within 48 hours)

For NYU Wagner (I applied to MPA)

SAIS told me the 5th! A Fletcher admission reached out and told me they had read my app and that decisions would be out "in early March" -- not sure what that means.

I was hoping as well, but as it nears 5pm ET I doubt it is happening

When I asked the SAIS Europe office they said March 5th, not sure if that also applies to DC.

Fairly confident.

I applied to SAIS Europe for the 1st year. I believe that for the Bologna campus everyone has to complete an interview, while they are optional for the DC campus.

Why are there so many less responses for most or all of these schools compared to past years? Some schools I can not even find threads for even though it is almost the end of Feb.

I am wondering what most people's interviews were like? My interviewer just asked me about why I wanted to pursue sais and then let me ask questions for 25 minutes. I read in blogs that they would ask about international affairs but it seemed like he was just selling me on the program.
