Manifesto95 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hey ! I've decided to create a new topic for those applying for interdisciplinary and disciplinary programs at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies of Geneva (IHEID), fall 2019. Normally, Early Bird applicants (disciplinary programs only) should receive decisions in January. It would be great to share info and experience here :) skallps and fortsibut 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alisher Kadirov Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Hey, what's going on, guys? I am planning to apply for the interdisciplinary programs (15 Jan).

SC88 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Did anyone get results after applying on Early Bird Deadline. I am applying for the regular deadline (15 Jan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortsibut Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I was looking for a thread like this last year when I was hunting for information about people applying. I almost applied this year for the international history PhD but haven't had time to get everything together for it, and I'll definitely be applying next year if I don't get in anywhere this application cycle; absolutely love Geneva as a city and the opportunities GIG offers. If any of you get in, I'd love to hear from you about your experiences at the school even if it's in different programs. Good luck to all of you who are applying!

shivanigupta Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Received an admit for international eco but postponed to the second round for aid. Others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phetlorlian Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Received the letter stating that my application was postponed for the 2nd round consideration. I wonder what is the difference between postponing to the 2nd round decision and being on the waiting list. Does anybody know?

SaBh Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Is the regular decision coming out on the 15th March or do they usually send a little early? This wait is making me super anxious!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globalhealthenthusiast Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I didn't get in. 3.8 from a Canadian university. Fluent in English/ French. I was expecting a very different outcome. Congrats to all who did get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allipie Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Accepted into MIA with partial scholarship for both cost of living and tuition. Honestly, this makes living in Geneva just livable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleks1993 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 So, you guys think it makes sense to go into debt for the MA in Development Studies? Still waiting for Sciences Po and Oxford, but realistically only Sciences Po could be cheaper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lived in Geneva and Paris before and for sure Geneva is the better option if you're looking to make connections. Personally, I got into Sciences Po but chose Geneva based on networking and internships. Paris and Geneva cost about the same to live in as well. You can find a room in Geneva for around 450 euro if you're diligent and are willing to write in French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good to hear that 450 is possible- How do they then arrive at estimates for at least 1800 CHF per month? As I am EU citizen and fairly poor I would not have to pay anything for Sciences Po, so that would be the better move. On the other hand, I do think that Geneva has the better program and faculty for what I want to do, but I might not hear back from Paris until the 15th of April, so I would have to gamble. Its complicated Are you completely set on Geneva? Did you already pay the 1000 CHF and everything? Edited March 18, 2019 by Aleks1993 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its complicated Are you completely set on Geneva? Did you already pay the 1000 CHF and everything? It is and isn't realistic.It all depends on where you shop, what you buy, and where you live. If you don't care about standard of living you can find things for an okay price, but you compromise things as well. For example, people will sublet for a month or two for pretty cheap, but you will have to move around a lot. For food, shop discount or take the time to go to France (which is what I did, there is a tram that goes there) and it's half the price. But for sure if you get the scholarship for Sciences Po I'd do that. The deadline for Geneva is the 15th. It means you can make the payment and whatnot on the same day. You just wouldn't get a lot of time to decide. I officially committed to Geneva, mostly because they gave me funding and it is the best program, plus I know the city and have connections there already I am however nervous for the housing.

Thank you for your insights and congrats again on the funding, I'd be there in a heartbeat ... So, are you applying for the student housing? I guess I wasn't really clear... I hope they come back to me by the 15th, but I fear they will not... So worst case I will pay the 1000CHF and then have to bail sounds horrible ... I guess I'll see what the admissions says, I wrote them an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
