  1. I'm heading there in August as well. I'll be in the ID program.
  2. Incredible. Has no one heard anything? I would expect more from such a well-regarded institution. WWNFF can suck it.
  3. Didn't get a call, so I'll assume it's a no go. I still can't get over the insanity of letting people know about fellowship info after they have to decide on schools.
  4. See y'all in the Fall. - I'll be in the IDEV program. Won't be able to make it to Grad Day, though.
  5. Anyone heard anything yet? Today was supposed to be the day. This fellowship timetable is so effin' ridiculous.
  6. Hey, thanks for your input. I won't be able to make it out to DC before making a decision, so your description is helpful (although I recognize that it's just one person's opinion). Sounds about like how I imagined it.
  7. I emailed them last week and Sylvia Sheridan told me that finalists would be notified before the 10th (I wonder about non-finalists?). Anyway, the timing is BS! I think you're right in that the actual fellowship decisions won't be made until after the interviews, probably sometime in May. How are we supposed to decide on schools? For example, I have a nice funding offer from SIS and no money from SAIS. If I knew I was a Pickering fellow, I'd go to SAIS. But how am I supposed to make that decision? Throw down deposits at both schools? I honestly don't know why they wait so damn long... P.S. how did you find a phone number? There's nothing on the website.
  8. Previous Schools (Name, type, or tier): UC Berkeley Previous Degrees and GPA's: English major, 3.51 GPA GRE Scores (Verbal/Quantitative/Analytical Writing): 770/740/4.5 Previous Work Experience (Years, Type): Law firm, Peace Corps Math/Econ Background: none, but currently taking Micro, Macro, and Stats at a local JC Foreign Language Background: Spanish Intended Field of Study in Grad School: IDEV Long Term Professional Goals: USAID/Foreign Service/NGO Schools Applied to & Results: Rejected: Georgetown MSFS. Accepted: American SIS, GW Elliott, UT LBJ, Fordham, JHU SAIS Ultimate Decision & Why: Will attend American due to full fellowship/stipend/work opportunities, plus their ID program is big and strong. Would have considered SAIS had they offered money.
  9. Argh. Still no package, and I'm in California. I feel like they notified me via email eons ago...
  10. Haven't received mine yet, but I'm in California.
  11. I got a big package in the mail with acceptance letter & fellowship info.
  12. Here's a link to a thread discussing Pickering: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=14773&p=53555&hilit=pickering#p53555 Sounds like they'll notify finalists in mid-April, which makes absolutely no sense to me. I would LOVE to know if I'm a fellow before I pull the trigger on grad school.
  13. Wow, congrats anxiouslywaiting. That's a huge offer! I'm in California still waiting for my letter...
