I was waitlisted for MSFS and got an email from Ja’net the morning after the status update basically saying the same thing and that the waitlist is not ranked and usually they are able to admit students from it but they never know how many

Can someone who’s been accepted for MSFS let me know what deadline they gave you to put down a deposit so I know when the waitlist might come into play if it ever does?

I didn’t get an email just refreshed the portal

Alright never mind my last comment I just got my decision and I got waitlisted...GU just really trying to do me in today with a reject and waitlist back to back

Are you both international applicants? Those decisions seemed to come out earlier for SSP

No I’m from the U.S. and want to work for the State Department or military so Georgetown and D.C. really seemed like the place to do it St Andrew’s is just a great program at a great school and a really cool experience but in terms of finding a job probably wouldn’t be helpful in terms of connections

I applied to the MAIR which somewhat matched my interests with the concentration in security/strategy but I really just want to do security studies and study either Russian or Persian hence SSP. But the MLitt program in Middle East Caucasus and Central Asian Security studies at St Andrews is over in 12 months and I’m looking at that now since It’s far more affordable and SAIS gave me no funding besides loans. SSP was pretty much my top choice though MSFS was kind of a backup. I have a very mediocre low 3s GPA so I knew it wasn’t certain but I have killer GRE scores for verbal (98%) so I was hoping that would make up for it ??‍♂️I guess we’ll see when I actually get a response

Yeah it seems like everyone who got a response got in or got on the waitlist so I made that jump in my head too but I still would like to hear back. I got into SAIS and have a great and affordable offer at St. Andrews so if I don’t get into SSP or MSFS it’s not the end but waiting sucks

Y’all are all busy talking about your funding and if you’ll get money but I haven’t even gotten my decision for ssp yet ???
