This morning around 10:30 I checked the website and found my acceptance letter. I have yet to receive an email. FYI here are my stats: GRE: 590 V/740 Q; GPA: 3.7; 2 years of study abroad as undergraduate; 24 yrs old with little work experience (3 internships). It's unlikely that I will accept due to extremely high costs of attending. For those on the wait list, hang in there. Good luck everyone else.
The fact is with all these acceptances and fellowship decisions going out, it's not getting any easier to get in at this point. It's time to brace yourselves for a possible rejection, and think positively about plan B, C, D, etc. Godspeed, everyone.
For those of you who have had application documents lost or missing, did you and your referees submit everything online or via snail mail? I don't understand how SIPA can lose documents that were submitted online.
You guys misunderstood my post. I'm not discouraged by having much lowers scores, I'm discouraged by having higher schools (i.e. 1600 GRE, 3.98 GPA, Harvard grad). If the ad committees don't accept people based on scores alone, then I'm screwed!
haha I like this person's post:
"Well, I wasn't really expecting this with a 1500 GRE, 3.93 GPA from top ivy, 3 years wk experience (almost all overseas). Lacked quant though. Bummer..."
According to the results page, this person was waitlisted. Waitlisted! Thanks for making me feel completely underqualified and hopeless... lol
Yeah I'm afraid they are planning to notify those who were not admitted last. I hope I'm wrong. Of course, there is the possibility those of us who are still waiting are being considered for additional funding. haha, I doubt that applies to me. To those who are still waiting in limbo, good luck.
I am one of those "lucky" MIA applicants who hasn't heard anything yet. I'm assuming my application is undergoing a second review because of lack of consensus. I guess I should be happy because at least I haven't been rejected yet?
So far I haven't read any posts of anyone being denied admission outright. I've read "admitted" posts and "wait listed" posts. Have any of you applying to the MIA program been denied admission yet?
