(DC decisions may be coming out later today) No word on funding yet - I'm hoping that'll come out later today but it might not be until March, not sure how that works with the Bologna campus... Hi, congratulations! Did you receive an email? Were you also given a deadline by which you have to confirm your admit?
EffieXD Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Anyone still waiting for DC today? My portal has not updated yet. Fingercrossed, good luck on all of us. Indian_2019 1

It included an enrollment deadline of April 20.

I have applied for MIPP at DC. I applied to the MA program (first year in Bologna, second in DC). Notifications for the DC-based programs may not come out until the afternoon - I have a feeling the Europe decisions were posted earlier since it was already afternoon over there
chinahand Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Just received an acceptance offer from SAIS DC. Applied under China Studies/Strategic Studies for the MA program! No word on funding yet...
chinahand Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Received a separate e-mail from financial aid just now. Offered half tuition!
somewhatslightlydazed Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Also got a funding email, 75% tuition! Still going to wait to hear back from other schools, but chances are I'm heading to Bologna next fall ? Edited December 21, 2018 by somewhatslightlydazed
PaoloC Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Also got the acceptance for the MIPP in Bologna, with a 50% tuition cover! Deadline for acceptance April 20th.
Sarah2132 Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 I haven't heard anything from SAIS DC... no email, no portal updates. Is this cause for concern??

SAP0217 Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 I got deferred to the regular cycle. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ had a momentary freak out then got over it. Congrats to those who got those dollar bills!

I feel like they wouldn't just not email you though (they should have sent everyone either an acceptance or deferral by Friday). I would email or call the office and see if they can tell you what's going on - one possibility is that one of your supporting documents came in late so they put you in the regular notification pool, but it's worth checking in with them so they can explain what's happening.

Abm2413 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Has anyone applied for the MAIA in Bologna and heard back from admissions yet (regarding funding as well)? I got my letter but was told that I would have to wait until March for financial aid decisions. Edited January 11, 2019 by Abm2413

Spurs Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Any word on when decisions wil be out for the regular round?
Guesswho Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Accidentally posted this in the 2018 thread since that was the most recent one that was active for some reason but it looks like decisions are out for the regular round. In but with no mention of funding. Didn’t get my initial concentration pick either but was allowed to go with anything else. I’m glad they didn’t place their open house on April 5th like almost every other program but April 10th is a fairly awkward day to have it as well for most people Good luck to everyone else
homesicksub Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Got in with some funding. Deciding between this, SIPA, and the Asian Studies program at Georgetown.
somewhatslightlydazed Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Congrats to all who got in!! Does you guys know if anyone has been successful negotiating increased aid with SAIS? I got in EA with a 75% tuition scholarship but just got a full ride (tuition+stipend) from Princeton. I like SAIS's curriculum better than Princeton's (and really want to spend a year in Bologna, especially since I never did the Europe study abroad thing in undergrad) but can't justify the cost difference, so I'm hoping I can get them to increase my aid but idk how realistic that is...
