[SAIS, SIPA, ESIA, SIS, and IPED]

Not to throw this up in the air, but if you look at when they've released the admissions decisions over the last few years... it has always either been on a monday or a friday. Maybe we're going to be surprised on Monday?

Or today! hahahaha

[The American SIS Fall 2012 Thread]

I applied to SAIS, SIPA, Georgetown MSFS, GW Elliott School, the Fletcher School, NYU, Michigan Ford School (the only MPP I applied to). So, not really any "safety" schools but I don't want to go to a safety school. Worse case, I'll re-apply next year.

I'm more disappointed than bitter, as starting this two-week period on a positive note would've been ideal. Oh well. Here they are:

GPA: 3.5

GRE V/Q/AW: 167/159/4.0 (I was shocked at the 4.0! I'm generally a good writer...)

3.5 years experience with a federal contractor

I think that's decent enough at least.

I dont think it has something to do with the GRE... My GRE is way lower than yours... V/Q/AW: 155/155/3.5 but I got in.. My GPA is the same at 3.5..

And while we're in this topic, how big deal the GRE is for an admission?

[The American SIS Fall 2012 Thread]

I sent email to FA office. If you get a error in your FA section of the my.american.edu portal it just means you did not receive any financial aid. I was hoping to get some aid. I hope I have more luck with the bigger schools.

Thx for the info KJ90

[SAIS, SIPA, ESIA, SIS, and IPED]

Don't worry, this forum will be aflutter with updates once SAIS and SIPA release decisions! You won't be able to miss it . I don't know about SIPA but SAIS will release theirs around March 14th.

Yes thank you.. According to SIPA Admissions Blog, SIPA will release its first wave of admissions decision on march 14th too

[SAIS, SIPA, ESIA, SIS, and IPED]

I just got in to MA IDev at SIS. Got the email this morning.

Yeah I am sorry for the MySAIS Page error... Mine is working fine already..

Really can't wait for SAIS and SIPA decisions! Please keep us updated if anyone already heard from them!

[Official Admitted Thread]

Got in to SIS too.. MA in International Development.. Tried to follow the instruction on checking my FA package, but the page returning error.. Maybe I got no funding... But still hoping!

[The American SIS Fall 2012 Thread]

I got in too.. MA in International Dev.

And the same goes,, FA returning error... Does that mean we really haven't got any?

[Chicago CIR vs. Graduate Institute of Geneva]

I've been in Geneva, its a great city... And yes the all the international organizations are there..

And about the Graduate Institute of Geneva, it is a very good school! With people like Baldwin and etc..

If i were you.. I would go Geneva! but thats only if I were you.. because I love the city so much!

[The American SIS Fall 2012 Thread]

I applied for MA in International Development and I still haven't heard anything...

[SAIS, SIPA, ESIA, SIS, and IPED]

MySAIS is working as of 3/6/12 1:49 AM EST. As is ISIS. I don't think SAIS's decisions are supposed to be out for a week or so, so I would relax on that front.

Mine is still not working as of 3/6/12 1:55 AM EST. What is going on then? Anyone else with the similar problem on their MySAIS page?

[SAIS, SIPA, ESIA, SIS, and IPED]

Are you sure you're not just tweaked out and left another AY window open?

Not like I just did that or anything

No. Because

1. I always log out properly and close the window every time after an AY session

2. MySais Page is not linked with AY, the same goes with VIP Page of SIS AU, you can have an AY window of SIPA open and also MySais Page and SIS AU VIP Page open at the same time.

Lets cross our fingers.

You also waiting for SAIS?

[The American SIS Fall 2012 Thread]

I just rechecked and the AY page definitely looks different in the past couple hours. No y/n but the bar along the lefthand side now just reads "Message Center" instead of "Downloadable Documents" etc.

Yay for tweaking out about this and the other 6 for the next three weeks!

Yes my AY page also shows the "Message Center"... the same also goes with my AY page for SIPA dan SAIS.

Oh man!

[SAIS, SIPA, ESIA, SIS, and IPED]

I tried to login to MySais Page just now, and they say that there is an error! I hope this means that they are updating admissions decision!

[The American SIS Fall 2012 Thread]

I've been refreshing my VIP Page and AppYourself Page for hours...

[The American SIS Fall 2012 Thread]

Congrats for all of you who got admitted already!

I am still waiting....

[Johns Hopkins SAIS]

I also applied to SAIS! And I haven't heard anything yet! please do let me know when you hear something!

in the mean time.. lets keep our fingers crossed!

[The American SIS Fall 2012 Thread]

I am waiting for SIS decision! Is there a possibility that it will come out this week???

This is killing me! All five schools that I applied for haven't release their decision up til now!

[Graduate Institute, Geneva]

I've spent some months in Geneva for UN and WTO.. And believe me IHEID is one of the best place to study IR and International Economics... And Geneva is very strategically located in Europe! One of the best International Affairs School in Europe!

Why Mid-March? Why not now?

[SAIS, SIPA, ESIA, SIS, and IPED]

hahahaha.

I hope that your personal statement to Hopkins did not refer to "SIPA" and that your personal statement to Columbia did not refer to "SAIS."

hahaha.. You just made me check my application folder! Thankfully everything is addressed correctly! hahahaha...

What if someone really made that mistake? will it hurt their chances?

Oh i wish.. there is a SAIS Columbia... So i could pick SAIS in NYC hahaha

[SAIS, SIPA, ESIA, SIS, and IPED]

It's March already.. And I am very nervous for I still haven't received any email yet.

I applied for SIPA Columbia, SAIS JHU, ESIA GWU, SIS AU, and IPED Fordham.

Based on their admissions websites, decisions will only be available Mid-March (SIPA already announced that first batch of decisions will be available by March 14th).

Is there any possibility that decisions will be available this week?

Any of you who applied to the same schools could just update us whenever you got the news, so we would know that decisions are coming out already!

Too nervous!
