there is a facebook group for SIPA class of 2011, for all those who are interested... its not a columbia-run group, but its a start, i'm attaching the link below

I guess i have an internship with a think tank in Bangladesh for 6-8 weeks... we'll see how that pans out, still waiting to hear back from schools though
rejected with the "less than 5%" of applicants whom then encouraged to re-apply after some more relevant work experience." statement, which sucks... i guess that SAIS, NYU and AU will have something similar to say.
on another note, being an international with a US degree i can't say that they care too much about TOEFL scores, then again u'd be surprised how many people fail the damn exam.
So how many of us who are checking this forum like maniacs are MIA and have not heard back so far? I've also been told its NOT a good idea to call SIPA, they aren't too phone friendly at this stage
