I DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE THROWING UP....or more like throwing up at those stupid admission people..... What could possibly justify this torture?? :shock:

I AGREE....This stupid process has been drawn-out for too long. Do these admission offices ever consider our needs since our future is hanging right now? Plus this whole waiting process has made me completely edgy and angry at the slightest annoyance. Duh, how hard is it to be on time on their own deadline to publish the decision? After all, we paid them to review our application. :x

OK, I called SAIS to ask them if they mailed MY letter and if they can check that info or not? They said, all letters will be mailed tomorrow and I

Hi, I'm also applying to both schools and considering both of them. Thanks for the link to the SIPA Morningside. I met with a professor/department head of the concentration that I am applying for at SAIS and he's soooo NICE and I happened to have 2 coworkers who went to SAIS and currently attending and they both loved it. Plus, it's much smaller compared to SIPA (am I right?) like the language class have less than 10 students so that you can really gain proficiency. I tried to go to SAIS website to hear if they have something similar like the SIPA Morningside, but still have no luck. Let me know if you find one. But, for me, I think the financial aid will make the biggest difference, plus I'm already in DC. And SAIS has the concentration that I want, which I don't think SIPA has. But, I haven't heard from any of them.

Hi, I tried to call my schools however, they said, i just have to wait. It seems that you guys who got the answer mostly applied for PhD and I'm applying for an MA. So I'm wondering if that makes a difference? Also, do you guys think it's a good idea for me to contact the Head Department of the program I'm applying for, who's also going to be reviewing my apps? I've met with him once before and he was super duper nice but I don't want to annoy him, but he probably knows if i get accepted or not. Also, the school said they're not gonna send out decision until next week. So I'm dying to know. Only applied to 3 and haven't heard from any of them.
