Yeah, I'm in the same boat, trying to keep busy with books and weights. I'm reading "All the Devils Are Here: The Hidden History of the Financial Crisis" and "No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washington by Condoleezza Rice. It keeps me entertain instead of checking my email continuously.

LOL!!! This is the most BALLING Sh*t EVERRRR....

1) The good thing is that you ALREADY APPLIED to a large, diverse group of schools so there is not much you can do now but to sit and wait patiently for the results. 2) The bad thing is that you really need some work experience, more language proficiency, and oversea work. Your GPA and GRE are borderline average so you really need other variables to make your application standout. For example, the average GPA of admitted students for MAIR at Syracuse is 3.66 and the Median GRE scores of admitted students: V: 530, Q: 660; AW: 4.0. So that is why you need work experience to offset the GPA and GRE. So if you want you can always take a year off to get the work experience, pick up Mandarin, or volunteer at NGOs. 3) But sometimes it is better to be lucky than good so if all your lucky stars aligned than you might just get in...Good Luck!!!

Agree with coonske, "evaluating" means that they are checking your application to see if you have provided all the required information before the school send it to the admission committee.

Yo sengpatt, thanks. I submitted my Maxwell application on January 4 since my background is biology/pre-med it is pretty nice to have a place to study international affairs this Fall. I think Korbel might let us know at the end of Feb, the earliest I saw a Korbel's acceptance letter was on Feb 19 of last year. Hopefully they let us know before March 15, I don't think I can keep sane till then. Seton Hall also on a rolling basic so you probably receive a decision before March.

'"shittttt, I heard you broke"- crap all over my parade

You will probably receive another email saying something like this "We forwarded your file to the department for review. An admission decision will be communicated to you directly by the academic program." after your application has fulfilled all their requirements. Good luck!!!

Received an acceptance email from Syracuse's Maxwell MA International Relations program for Fall 12, quite a surprise since the regular application deadline is not till tomorrow. Still waiting on Princeton's WWS, Elliott, Denver's Korbel, and SAIS. I applied to WWS on Dec 1 and still didn't hear anything from them. CRAP ON A STICK!!!!

shuttle step

Agree with Mal83, and the application for Peace Corps is quite long and strenuous, it took me a year to get assigned but the service was probably one of the best times of my life. I just got back last November and applying to graduate schools right now. Highly recommend it!!!!

Peep show

A bacon burger at Five Guys Burgers and Fries for every acceptance letter I received.....and....probably have to buy new clothes in the process....

Adcom 1: Wellll, he should have sent a 4 by 4 picture of his face, it would probably be more interesting than his application Adcom 2: " I'MMMM RICHHHHHHHH, Biatchhhhhhhh" It gonna be a long three months....
