  1. IRToni, thanks for taking the time to write and share all this information. I was wondering, since you mentioned it is possible to transfer to a disciplinary program - have you ever encountered someone going from MIA to Law? Is that even plausible, given the different course requirements? In my case, if my legal background is deemed insufficient for IL, do you think I could potentially transfer after taking some courses from the Law department as an MIA student? This is all very hypothetical since I pretty much shot myself in the foot by not going for MIA in the first place:)
  2. The Facebook page is such a great resource, thanks for sharing this quotes! I actually did state that I am flexible if they would rather consider me for the MIA. This turned out to be a really good decision; I managed to get in touch with someone in the Law department too late after submitting my application, and they said admission is very hard without a legal background (despite what the website says). Some other schools (SciencesPo for example) put a check box in the application for those open to other programs should it appear a better fit. I think that is probably the best way to go about it.
  3. laminhphoung, I have to agree with Lud and there is really no need to risk anything like that giving a bad impression to the admission committee. I also found this forum to be a great resource and decided not to repeat anything that is already stated clearly in the CV or application form when I was cutting down. That said, you send a printed version of the essay so as long as it does not look like it, I am sure you can go a bit over the limit if absolutely necessary:) Lud, I think that the MIA program is great. I picked IL because I already have a solid interdisciplinary background and am looking for some academic and intellectual growth. A lot of the program resonates with my professional aspirations, particularly those courses with great professors in the area of human rights, conflict/migration and the role of IL within international affairs. I just checked my application status and it is officially complete. Good luck to everyone!
  4. Hello! Good to hear from someone else who has gone for the November deadline. I submitted my documents last week, and apart from checking if my last recommendation was sent in, am just waiting for mid-December at this point. I applied for the Master in International Law, my top and only choice at this stage so I am hoping for good news. I wish there was more info about the acceptance and application rate in the first round, or a breakdown between different programs, but they only give general statistics.
