Got in!
-
I just got in too, but to begin in the summer semester. In 7 or so weeks. Wanna be friends?
-
I emailed the other day, reminding them that it's been a few weeks now since they told me my application was under review. No response yet.
-
This is not looking good! Two other people posted their results as being accepted via email this past Saturday. It's Wednesday! D:
-
The last response I'm waiting for emailed me 2 1/2 weeks ago and told me: my application is being reviewed, they will contact me as soon as a decision is made, respond to the email if I had any questions.
Naturally, I responded that day with cheerful encouragement all but stating that I'm still very interested in their program, etc.
Do I just sit and wait? As if February and March weren't excruciating to start, now it's April!
Should I call/email? Should I just walk into oncoming traffic?

The last school I'm waiting for emailed me two weeks ago and told me my application was under review and they would notify me once a decision is made, then to email if I had any questions. I sent an email back maybe an hour later expressing my continued interest in their school, etc. It's been two weeks. My girlfriend keeps yelling at me, telling me to get another email from them. D:

My fiancee is getting dragged along with this whole mess and I'm sure she is getting tired of hearing me talk about it. She just wants to know where she is going to live and work for the next 2 years. Every time I think about how stressful this is for me, I try to remember that she must feel like she has absolutely no control over her destiny.
Word for word, same here.

Rejected!
-
Whether or not we're competing with them, that only leaves the smaller percent of the total available to us for possible slots! I wish you luck in your application there, and to Elliott School as well, as we seem to be competing against each other there too.

Did anyone else apply for Fall 2011? Have you heard anything?
-
I'm not expecting to get in to this one, but I did apply. When I visited for one of those "informational interviews", the woman I met with told me that something like 60% of those admitted are mid-career level. Maybe it was higher, I don't remember exactly, but I felt very discouraged by that number (being that I am coming straight out of undergrad).
-
I'm betting on the 19th or 20th before we hear anything, at least according to the last few years. What are your plans for the next 9 days?
-
I haven't heard anything. I had January 15th and February 1st deadlines. I don't think I'd ever seen my mailman before this week. I've seen him nearly every day now.
-
My friends, I have also been pulling my hair out. Good luck to you all!
-
I applied to:
Georgetown's SFS for SSP,
GWU's Elliott School for SPS and
IWP's MA in Statecraft and National Security Affairs.
Anyone hear anything from any of these? D:
February was long, but March will be longer by far.
