hello.operator

anyone go to new admit day? care to put in your two cents? thanks in advance.

^second the above. i can't go to new admit day, so those of you that end up going, please share with us your thoughts. thanks.

@nouveau.ukiyo i heard back about financial aid offers today via email as well, though i received an email notice for acceptance last wednesday. the acceptance email said that i'd receive notification from apply yourself once the official acceptance letter (with scholarship information) had been posted to the application site. i still haven't been able to access this official letter on apply yourself, though. if you've been able to access your official letter, i think it's safe to assume georgetown has disclosed all decisions on scholarships to you as well.

i know the emails said we'd get financial aid info by march 30, but has anyone heard back about this?

it's a hard decision to make, especially with georgetown and hks funding still up in the air. i honestly don't expect anything, but it'd still be silly to make a decision until i know what all my options are. i've decided to turn down sipa's offer, however, as they've already told me no money. georgetown's small class size/location/rigor/faculty are some of its greatest draws for me, despite the fact that i think it is the least best match for me of the four schools, curriculum-wise. i really am torn between hks and sais right now, but the financial aid package i got from sais only had loans. the cost issue really just dampens the whole "let's get excited about acceptances" thing real quick. basically, i don't know anything useful yet

:/ i'm starting to wonder what's taking them so long. though i'm glad they notified me via email first and so kindly nixed the agony of waiting

have people who received acceptance emails also been invited to look at the official acceptance letter on apply yourself? i got the acceptance email five days ago, but no word yet on when the official letter (and its funding info) will be made available to me.

my mother, after i told her i got into all the schools i applied to: "is it easier to get into grad school than it is to get into college?"

this was hilarious, by the way

in at sipa, but no funding as expected. it will be very difficult for me to justify attending without $$$

oh, haha. i just read the letter so quickly that my eyes just glazed over the IDEV mention in the text.

in! though no mention of IDEV on my letter

can i just say that this thread has a very unfortunate (heart rate-raising) title?

my current boss wrote one of my recs, but i'm faced with kind of an uncomfortable situation right now: she's way more confident than i am that i'll get in somewhere (haven't heard back from anywhere yet), so she's already started asking around for my replacement now i'm just holding onto my office chair hoping some other person doesn't swoop in to take away my fallback plan if i don't get in this year.

congrats, gomer! jealous you've heard back
