Anyone applied to Batten?

Hey @sandvoldus, I also applied in Round 1 to Batten! Where else are you applying and where does Batten fall in that list?

Any idea when decisions come out? And I've applied there, Washington Evans, UPenn Fels, and VCU Wilder! You?

According to Batten's website, the decisions come out on March 4th. And I've applied to Batten, Middlebury Institute of International Studies (admitted), Columbia (waiting), Graduate Institute, Geneva/IHEID (waiting), and the University of Denver (waiting).

I went to go visit Batten in the fall and I really liked it. I think the curriculum is broad enough that it will really help me whichever sort of field I end up working in. I like all the leadership-focused classes and the opportunity to participate in the Natl. Security Cohort, given that I'd like to go into foreign affairs. Also helps that I think the grounds and greater Charlottesville are beautiful and I'm a VA resident!

Just got a call from the admissions office - I was accepted! I was told I will receive detail about funding in the official notification email on Monday.
