Have any alternates heard anything? (I have not—for Indonesian)

Has anyone had any luck negotiating more aid from Gtown using an offer from a parallel program (for me, it would be SAIS)? Wondering what the protocol is around this and who I should email. Not expecting much or really anything but figure its worth a shot.

Program Applied To (MPA, MPP, IR, etc.): MALD/MIA/MIP/MSc/MA/MAIR/MPP Schools Applied To: Columbia SIPA (MIA), Johns Hopkins SAIS (MAIR), Tufts Fletcher (MALD), LSE International Development and Humanitarian Emergencies (MSc), Stanford Ford Dorsey (MIP), Yale Jackson (MA), Harvard Kennedy (MPP), Georgetown SFS (MSFS) Schools Admitted To: Columbia SIPA (MIA), Johns Hopkins SAIS (MAIR) ($$), Tufts Fletcher (MALD) ($), LSE International Development and Humanitarian Emergencies (MSc), Georgetown SFS (MSFS) Schools Rejected From: Stanford Ford Dorsey (MIP), Yale Jackson (MA), Harvard Kennedy (MPP) Still Waiting: Undergraduate Institution: Columbia (Dual with Sciences Po) Undergraduate GPA: 4.0/4.0 Undergraduate Major: Human Rights, Politics and Government GRE Quantitative/Verbal/AW Scores: 169/99% (V), 159/69% (Q), 5.5/98% (W) Years Out of Undergrad (if applicable): 0 Years of Work Experience: 0 Describe Relevant Work Experience: Internships at State, French Embassy, private sector intelligence, research experience in Germany and Cambodia, multiple research fellowships, student director of national advocacy NGO Strength of SOP (be honest, describe the process, etc): I think they were pretty good. I have been on a very specific and relatively unique (even for these schools) path since the beginning of college, so was pretty easy for me to describe specifically why each program made sense. Strength of LOR's (be honest, describe the process, etc): Probably okay/good? Definitely not the best best ever. A few profs I was decently close with/did research with, a few bosses who liked me. Probs none of the really outstanding ones people post about on here lol. Other: All things considered, I am super happy how I did this application season, especially considering that I am coming straight in from undergrad. I got 30k a year from SAIS so most likely will be heading there! Better learn how to math asap...

Interesting.. all my stuff is still there

I still can?

its 2:57, we have three minutes, please

like this if you are not Matt

I’m literally in the exact same place with the exact same schools and funding situation. Not an easy choice but I’m planning on taking the SAIS offer unless I am totally surprised by HKS. I don’t think any of these schools are worth 60k total more than another.

Yeah no funding here either!

No, Im in the US

In to MSFS!

Also waiting on funding! Best of luck to everyone here

Haha you should, Low beach is beautiful today Not sure you will find the admissions info you want there though

Discussed a few pages back but everyone gets the email! Unsure about the magazine, but right now it seems best not to assume anything.

can't image how crazy I would be going if I wasn't on this thread, considering how late results are relative to years past. thankful for those of you who seem to have an in with admissions haha

Yeah, I am a current Columbia student and if it helps, we have some hybrid classes this semester, and I think SIPA has had hybrid classes both this and last semester. No in person graduation though...

Didn't someone talk to AD of admissions and hear it would be the week of the 15th for MSFS?

Rejected as well! not super surprised

FYI for us early admits, funding info is out now on the portal (don't think I got an email but have been following the threads). I got 10k a year/20k total

If it helps (probs doesn't), early admission decisions were sent out at 3:16pm EST this year. Anyone else waiting on funding info from the early round? Do you think we'll hear today?

Any thoughts on whether results will come out today? They have come out on the 6th for the past three years, but ofc now it’s a weekend. Also they are holding KHS finalist weekend (virtually) this weekend so not sure if that will affect things.

Update: just got the email

Me neither.
