Same here...

I am still waiting for this as well. Last week's email said they would send decisions out by the end of the week. However, I didn't receive anything electronically. Did anyone with a physically mailed application package receive any new about housing?

Sure! Feel free to PM me!

Hi jkaasik, I got into the IR/PS PhD Program today - unfortunately w/o funding for the first year...

hi chaetzli, are you waitlisted at HKS or GSAS?

Congrats as well! Did you apply to HKS or GSAS?

Hello everyone, I have so far been accepted to a number of Masters in Europe, including the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin (two-year MPP), the Graduate Institute Geneva IHEID (MA International Relations, 18 months, PhD fast-track), LSE (one-year MSc International Relations, research track), Cambridge (one-year MPhil International Relations, research track). In the medium term I am planning to write a doctoral dissertation and am particularly torn between the programs at the LSE and Cambridge, which both have a focus on IR methods training, prepare for future PhD study, and whose departments take on many of the students for subsequent PhD/DPhil study. According to what I have read and heard so far, IR at LSE has a better reputation. Unfortunately LSE tuition is also twice as high and my scholarship would probably not cover all costs there (LSE 17700 GBP vs Cam 8800 GBP). Any thoughts?

I can hear you loud and clear CairoKid. I am also reapplying for the 2012/2013 cycle and will start the MSc IR (Research) at the LSE this fall. Unfortunately by the time the first application deadlines for 2013 will come around, I will only have taken classes for a couple of weeks...

Happy Birthday CairoKid. Good things come to those who wait. You certainly deserved it!

I applied on January 18 and got admitted on February 27.

Does anyone have insights on the IR faculty and programs at the LSE and Oxbridge?

Hi, I applied to the LSE MSc IR (research track) in mid-January and I got accepted on February 27. Hope this helps.

Does anybody know what is going on with Harvard GSAS? Are they sending out rejections soon? Only by mail? Has anyone been wait-listed?

Congratulations bauhaus! Were you waitlisted at NYU before?

Hi everyone, I unfortunately just discovered The Grad Cafe, this is really a wonderful resource. Congratulations to everyone for their acceptances. One thing I was wondering about [and for which I haven't seen an answer here]: How many of you were in contact with the relevant professors at the schools you got accepted into BEFORE sending in your application? Did you talk with them about your research interest and your application?
