Congrats!! I'm sure you are very excited and relieved to have options (at least, I know I would be!) Good luck in your decision-making process! In regards to the funding, did it indicate that you received a specific scholarship award, or did it just tell you the amount?

hahah! Thanks for bringing some humor to my day! I'm pretty sure their servers have been overloaded or they are getting a ton of inquiries. Either way, my heart stopped beating for a second when I saw the e-mail. It was especially cruel because I saw it on my iPad which gives you the first line or so of the e-mail and all I could see was "We are happy...." seriously...they couldn't of thought of a better way to phrase that when they know we are all anxiously awaiting decision notifications?! LOL

I wish there was just one specific date they would give us so I could stop compulsively checking my e-mail. I also applied to Oxford and have not heard back from them either, and I think the only time frame provided is "late March"

LOL. I think hacking into their database server might be grounds for a rejection letter!

Geneva is great if you want to work with INGOs, NGOs, IGOs, etc. Also consider where you may want to live/work post-graduation. Having contacts in Geneva may not be as helpful if your desire is to live in London afterwards. But, if you wanted to live in NY, then having an internship at the UN could help you build the right network to transfer over to NYC. Think about what's going to set you up for the most long-term success!

haha, me too (with the done waiting part).... somehow I don't think that's going to change anything, unfortunately, lol!

Ah, yes, I did gather that. From the search results last year, it looks like notifications were given around March 14-15 for IHEID. I wouldn't get your hopes up too much for tomorrow, lest you be disappointed and have to feel like your extra week-two week wait is an eternity.

When it comes time to get employed following graduation, it's all about who you know. Pick the school that will help you build the best network in your area of interest. Whether that's Geneva or elsewhere. Just going for a "great education" is not enough anymore. You need to pick somewhere that will offer you plenty of internship opportunities/connections and/or be located in the general vicinity of where you could get internships/opportunities. Remember, when you are all applying for jobs, you won't be the only one with a well-known degree from a great school, so it will really come down to your actual experience in the field. <-----From someone currently finishing up their Master's degree.

Hmm... All I see is that it says between March 1 - 15.... Is there something more specific than that listed elsewhere? http://graduateinstitute.ch/home/admissions/application.html

Not yet...

Congrats!! Which one?!

Did anyone get recommended that applied non-ETA?

Ditto - I'd like to know as well! Which award did you apply to?

I'm not sure. I think it depends on the terms of the partnership/joint Fulbright award.

The Fulbright I applied to required me to apply to the PhD program separately and I have to be accepted by the university to be eligible for the Fulbright.

Yep for the UK, thanks! I applied for a PhD program and the Fulbright covers the degree! I hope I get it so I can afford to go (I also hope I get into the program!)

Can you post the link to that?

LOL - they must have received a lot of emails! Did anyone actually get a hold of anyone and receive a direct response?

Where did you see that the "admitted" status only applies to those accepted under the December deadline?

I do see on their website that it says 23 January they will send admitted students the link. I guess until we receive an official acceptance, we will not know. Have you emailed/called them? I wouldn't want to bombard them with emails/calls if someone else has already done so.

Sure! I just have to figure out how to do a PM lol

Unfortunately, I am at my internship until the end of business hours, or I would. Have you sent them an email about it?

Yes, I saw that too! I don't want to get too excited until I hear the official confirmation though. I applied to PhD IR/PS. You?

I got the same e-mail, and I am not sure either. If you find out, please post the details here! I would love to know as well!

@Curious_Grad - Did you email them back about the housing email to find out?
