What was the subject of the e-mail?

To those who received an acceptance e-mail, who was the e-mail sent by (Name and e-mail address)?

Congrats!!!!

ha! I feel the same way, but I'm trying to remain optimistic!

Good luck everyone!! May the odds be ever in your favor!!!!

Hopefully it was just a computer glitch. It sounds like you have plenty of options though, so that's great!

Ahh... I just assumed since JHU was in Baltimore, so was SAIS, but it makes sense it's in DC. I never looked into the program for myself. I agree though that being in Switzerland has its perks too, especially when it comes to traveling! I hope I find out soon so I can go back to being productive! LOL

Let's just say that Geneva is wayyyy better to live in than Baltimore! I'd stick with IHEID!

Congrats!!!

Tomorrow?!

Thanks for posting the update! Hopefully we will hear soon. From what it sounds like though (from the recent FB posts) that we should definitely hear something by the end of business on March 15 - only a few more days!

Awesome! Congrats!!

Congrats!! When did you find out?!

Congrats!!

Sounds interesting! Good luck!

Thanks! and congrats again! What is your research interest?

I wouldn't get too discouraged. They could have rejected the application the first time around instead of postponed it, so they must have liked something! I also think they have a habit of postponing applications because I saw last year that individuals who wrote on their FB who got postponed now appear to be attending there. I don't think it means anything. I think they just do that to have the opportunity to grab any students who REALLY stand out that will mutually benefit IHEID by attending to try and persuade them to attend before the deadline to apply elsewhere. If the student can bring good connections to IHEID, then they might be very willing to extend an early offer. (That of course is speculation too). Either way. I just wish next week was over and I knew my fate. Also, I have not heard back and I applied for a PhD program. It appears that they are probably pumping out decisions as quickly as they receive them back. Having worked at universities, in my experience it is very likely that applications are either trickling in from committees who decided to accept a student, or they got slammed all at once and are trying to catch up with the new database system. Who knows?! All I know is that hopefully the waiting will be over soon!

Congrats!! Did they send the scholarship/funding information at the same time?

I had dreams last night that I woke up in the middle of the night (USA) to read an email on my phone saying I wasn't accepted. Now my mind is playing tricks on me! I can't wait for this to all be over! haha! At any rate, I think I've given up exerting any large quantities of mental energy on this. Now my attitude is "eh...they will let us know....eventually, or maybe never"

when did you find out you were wait-listed for IHEID?

Good luck with that! lol

I'm just glad I'm on the east coast (US) so that I only have to wait until about noon to see if there is any news for the day. I don't know what I'd do, or how I'd be productive if I had to wait throughout my entire workday. LOL

I just really hope IHEID tells us before the weekend.

haha! I wish I had that option. The one other university I applied to isn't expected to give results until after IHEID. ::sigh:: Guess, I'll be playing the waiting game ALL month...until APRIL! yikes!! Is anyone else waiting for PhD results?

Thanks for the info! Hmm, sounds like it's time for you to make a pro/con list! Good luck!
