  1. Ahh sorry for the trouble- of course, a simple Google search yielded Foreign Service Institute for FSI so that solves that but exact details of test/interview remains a mystery... I think I'll just keep digging...
  2. jrnels, I am also a finalist for the Pickering and am very curious as to what exactly the writing test and interview process entails, since the email notification was very vague. May I ask where you've been reading up on what people have said about the writing test? And what FSI is? On another note, I called them on Friday to ask more questions about the writing test, i.e. is it argumentative, analytical, etc.? Are there any sample questions available? Are their multiple options that we will be able to choose from?, and I was told that the only specifics they can give us are what is already in the notification email... sigh. This makes it pretty hard to prepare for, unfortunately...
  3. For those of us that haven't heard back, I have a friend who's doing admissions at Georgetown MSFS who also is releasing decisions on a rolling basis like Columbia SIPA, and she had said that those that were notified first are most likely definite admits (or otherwise) and that the rest are kind of more up in the air -- weird, because I thought someone had wrote that when they called SIPA said the decisions are made it's just a matter of releasing it into the system, etc. but then their "still waiting" blog post says that not all apps have completed review...? hmm. Wonder what's going on... sighhhh hard to determine if I have a real shot or not, because I haven't heard back yet :S
  4. Mine says the same thing as well! I was confused at first because I had gotten the email a while back confirming that my application was complete... but glad that it seems like more of a mistake with the system than anything...
  5. Actually, I'm still waiting but I applied for the MIA program and the concentration I applied for was International Security Policy...
  6. and me.... stillllllll waiting.... and waiting.
  7. ditto. except that I'm very ticked off...
  8. I've obsessed over this kind of thing for a while, and from talking to many people and reading through this forum: there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why some schools make the decisions that they do! And this unpredictable element just adds to the crazy suspense in waiting for a decision because apparently you can't judge your chances for a program based on decision results from other programs...
  9. thanks hudwa! not sure if this is good or bad news- this may officially not allow me to enjoy my Friday or possibly the entire weekend, sigh...
  10. Wow this is incredibly frustrating and nerve-wrecking... everyone seems to be getting their decisions from SIPA already! gahhh! Any chance that they will still send out emails regarding decisions even if its past 5 pm EST today ? (I'm on the west coast)
  11. well according to what I've seen on here- people started hearing back from SIPA on 3/14...
  12. I applied for MIA, and still haven't heard back from SIPA either... although people appear to have been receiving their decision for the last two days now... :S can someone enlighten me as to what this "pile" system is?? thanks...
