Hey you two, I will be there for NYU global affairs....are either of you interested in housing or a roommate? PM me! thanks

NYU SCPS anyone? Is anyone looking for a female roommate or housing for the upcoming Fall semester? Let's talk

any updates? would love to talk to some people about the program...

I would like to know the answer to this as well. I am in the same predicament. I am leaning towards NYU though....although I did find GWU friendlier. It is just that NYU has more name brand recognition and a stronger program I feel.

check out the other thread on nyu global affairs....watch the open house video on its homepage...."webinar" at the bottom...highly informative...it sounds like a very solid program...i am probably attending actually!

unfortunately i spoke to them today and they told me that the admittances have already gone out. here is hoping you get yours in the mail soon!

I got my acceptance letter by snail mail today (though the letter was dated March 26th.) However, I would advise you to completely forget about checking the online status check...because not only does it not say I am accepted...it says that my application is still incomplete! I am sure you will be hearing soon. I am honestly considering this program; it appears to be fantastic, you can't beat the location, and it has a tremendous alumni network and career/intern resources. Good luck and let me know how it goes for you!

My question is: What kind of places can you work for with a degree in International Business/Economics/Affairs? The reason I am asking is because I am not sure that I would want to leave the US once I secure a job if I get this degree. Are there any organizations that one can work for in the US (both public and private) with this type of concentration? Thank you for your insight.

is anyone considering this program? it looks really interesting....

accepted today

Who all from thegradcafe attended GW accepted student day?

don't go to a&m...i went there for undergrad and it is the worst, most conservative, hick, closed-minded place in the nation...you will regret it....go to american or your other school...this is your life and shouldn't be hell.

i second this!

...ummm....okkkk

*raises hand* (and waves it wildly about) actually to be honest, surprisingly, I have moved on from LBJ.....Washington is a much better place to be...especially at this time in history...but I am still curious as well to know who still hasn't heard/who has recently gotten in/who hasn't gotten in... so anyone else have any updates?

Select one closest to yours, because obviously the titles will not be exact. If I didn't put your specialization, leave yours in the comments!

Any idea or insight on why Elliot is presumably more respected than Trachtenberg (Public Affairs?)

Dagger -- out of curiosity, why are you thinking of picking GW over all the others? You got into some great schools!

well, factoring in living and everything else you're looking at around 40k for a year according to their website.

easier, less nerve wracking, and probably safer just to send an email

firefly....not even a call...you can email them! it happened to me as well...

Thank you policy applicant, you are very kind...and all others for your condolences. Here is what happened: I hadn't heard Friday or today, so I emailed the admissions coordinator politely asking about my status. She replies: she hopes to begin final status notifications NEXT WEEK....and I can check my status online for any status updates. ummmmm yeah. we all know final status notifications actually started last week on Friday! Then on top of it, I PMed some of the admits and they told me the same admin coordinator I emailed was in fact the one who emailed them their acceptance. So, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what that means. If I had gotten in, she would have said "oh I was just about to email you...congratulations" or something of that sort. I guess acceptances are this week and rejections are next week. I really really reallllllllllllyyyy wanted UT because all other schools I applied to are private and I just don't see it wise to go $80k in debt for a govt job especially in this economy. I haven't got funding at any of the others, yet at least. Oh well, I guess I am going to end up in Washington.

rejected

I dreamt I got into my top choice last night...but then every two hours or so I kept waking up to look at my clock and see if it was early enough for me to check my email (and gradcafe of course!)

do you think it would be inappropriate to call or email them today to find out our status?
