Last update: Was taken off EPOG's waitlist (but as a non-scholarship holder). Received the notification June 20th. Just again for those looking to apply to EPOG or GLOCAL, if you are waitlisted there's a chance you can get off as late as now. Goodluck to future readers and all on this thread who may be entering a program this fall or plan to apply again!

In a shocking turn of events I was taken off the reserve list for the scholarship QUITE late (like....last week of May late) ??? Wanted to make this update to you (as thank you for your encouraging words ) and also for anyone "high on the reserve list" in the future. I honestly was/am shocked with how late I was taken off of the list but it is indeed possible to get off of a reserve list for the scholarship, I am proof ^^. Good luck to all!

For any and all who applied to GLOCAL they just sent their decisions out!!!! I'm gonna be that person who asks that question lmao: I was put on the reserve list but they said "You are currently placed high on the Reserve list and it is possible that an award may become available to you; however, we cannot make any guarantee of this." does anyone know when you get this line what the odds actually are? Congrats to anyone in the thread/lurking who applied to GLOCAL and got the scholarships! I got placed on reserve lists for both of the places I applied to(EPOG and GLOCAL) and I have a strong suspicion of what made me not quite get pushed into the scholarship territory. I only did the easiest required math class, only the basic micro, macro, and international econ courses and had no business courses at all over the course of my undergrad. I graduated as an IR student so I vaguely approached some of these topics in my classes, but these programs both do not squarely fit for 'typical' IR students, of which I am one lol. I'm going to take the next handful of months to perhaps do some certificates and/or take some more math/econ classes and give it another shot in the fall if I don't get pulled up from the reserve list ? Good luck to everyone still waiting for results!

GLOCAL tweeted this on Sunday: So your friend should be hearing from them soon! On their own website timeline they say that people should hear back the first week of April, so with this + the tweet it seems like they're meeting their deadline and that people will be notified of the scholarship real soon

Yeah, there's a lot of competition there :/. But try to stay positive! And if not this year there could always be next year ?

?? I'm sorry! Did you apply to any other programs.

@rkjohn/any other EPOG candidates, someone that I know got called for interviews. Apparently they're pretty short, just 10 minutes. Did you snag an interview?

Thanks! And sorry to hear about your letters of rec :(. Keeping my fingers crossed for you for TourDC ?

Hey! I've been lurking and hoping others would chime in but I guess I'll have to be one of the first to throw my hat in the ring too haha. I'm also applying for this cycle! Congrats on the conditional offer! Did you end up getting one for IMCEERES as well? I've applied to three programs (well, two programs, one is delayed on opening their app platform). EPOG, GLOCAL, and GLOBED. Got an unconditional offer for Glasgow for GLOCAL so far. Hopefully more people will chime in! Ready to anxiously wait as a group ?
