i really want to know the msfs results once i know all - then perhaps i can decide i have not even heard from sipa yet

I called to ask about funding details.. the person i spoke to said it will be in the mail package and since I am in Mumbai, I will not recieve it till next week. So she checked for me taking my name n details and said I did not receive any funding unfortunately

yeah I did, I'm from India received 10k for the first year.

i got a $10k financial aid for the first year through a Starr Foundation Asia or something ( 5 thousand each semester) but am paranoid about it just being a loan of some sorts. Also when can you accept the aid ? there is an incomplete document - "signed award letter". sorry i just found their website confusing !

congrats foodlover ! i got nothing and I called American Uni and asked abt funding, they checked my file and said nothing there as well

there were not any acceptance mails out yesterday , there will be some todayy ! the admissions blog says that !

this probably means nothing and maybe i am just imagining this but on the columbia application page right at the bottom - there is something like "we look forward to working with you and a blank and not submitted. I wanted to ask the admitted applicant if this means something ? thsi is my overactive imagination at 5 :30 am !

Got into Masters in International Affairs - International Economics - got the email today !!

Yes so Happy I got into American University as well, Masters in International Economics, but nothing tops Hopkins and Fletcher happiness Congrats Sarah to You too !

i got in as wellll !!!

Im in as well MALD with 5,000 $ each year soooo happy

check the responses ! i did my part as well, but didnt realize she had already replied </h3>

YEAH ! im in the very last 25 percent and if luck would have it will be in the very last 5 percent !

i have a feeling it will be something like wednesday / thursday cos they said in their blog that they will wrap beginning of this week and by the end everyone will know the decisions :S

I got into the MA in International Affairs

i have not heard yet myself the wait is terrible

that doesnt help but atleast i can attempt to sleep now.thank you!

have been taking walks in my ten foot wide room refreshing my gmail every 2 seconds,

i DID NOT SEE A THREAD YET. I heard that Hopkins replies as soon as Columbia -SIPA. Am so tensed, anyone heard anything yet ?

yes it is unfortunate, but i think they did their bit by extending it till February 1st. Also , with things like transcripts it is always safer to have extra copies and also mail with services like DHL which are easy to track and ensure delivery in 48 hrs . They said they cannot guarantee it will be reviewed, so there is still hope for u that there might be some chance that is reviewed.

Hi , I called Fletcher two days back! Because things like fee etc showed incomplete. However, they said by the end of next week , everything should be updated so i should call then. Their blog also says that as long as your online application is complete, they are OK with documents through post arriving by Feb 1st. So if there really is a problem and they still haven't received your transcripts at all you can probably send via something like dhl and they would receive it in 48 hrs or less. I checked mine today after reading your post ! and everything is complete. so just relieved !

Hi their website and online application says that. international applicants must send the financial proof for application to be processed. i really hope i got that wrong. In the downloadable forms sections there is a form that says international applicants only. It says that since F1 visa requires atleast 3 ontsh for processing , they need to know your sponsor details along with notarized bank letters. And it is strongly recommended that this goes to them with the rest of the application. !

Hi ! i wanted to confirm a few things , I left these 2 applications for the last minute. Does anyone know if either of these two schools have a resume page limit ? Also, I am an international student and have committed a major major gaffe. I had no idea i had to send financial documents to George Washington showing proof - that i can afford the university. banks tatements etc. I can only send them by dhl on monday afternoon - Indian time. Will probably reach them by Wednesday. Do you think it would be too late. I only just discovered this now. Fretting way too much. Also for the MA in international affairs sop at GWU - they have asked for just 500 words . and they say to talk about goals , research interests and why the school . that doesnt leave space for any backgrd about myself. ! Pls comment n share your thoughts about these 2 applications.

Hi , I am applying for the Masters in International Affairs track with an International economic relations specialization at American University. There were a couple of things unclear , so i called their office and confirmed , just wanted to share the info. The first essay - the main statement has a limit of 1200 words The second essay - about personal or professional challenges is purely optional ( but i would go for it - 500 words) The resume should not extend 2 pages. Hope this helps !

Hi , so I have finalized a version of my Fletcher application , I wanted someone to review it ( about whether it answers the question) , whether it is up to the standards expected and for a final proofread of grammar ... ( since i will be using most of these 2 essays for every other essay i submit ) ! pls pm me if you are up to it ! Thank You !
