AONomad Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Almost certainly will go there unless SAIS gives me lots of cashdollas. I'd rather be in DC two years than one year at HNC, since my end goal is to get a job in DC rather than China. If I wanted a fancy expat package at a multinational doing business in China, SAIS would probably be the better choice, but I'm probably aiming for government policy work. The main "drawback" of the MASIA program is that it's small, only around 35 students per year, so compared to SAIS the alumni network is pretty small. But that may also be a plus in some ways, so not too concerned about that. PupCakes 1

Hopefully with some of the regional studies programs sending out decisions, MSFS will send something out soon. I know it's a long shot, but I want it so bad. lol.
Ceebz Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 I applied for the dual MSFS/MPP and was notified of the MPP acceptance today. The processes are totally separate, but hopefully means grad admissions are kicking into gear. PupCakes and rubyrosey2626 2

On the waitlist. At least I'm in at SAIS and SIS. Only slightly disappointed. Congrats to everyone in though! PupCakes and AONomad 2
AaBbAa Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Got in to the program, but no funding at all. Quite disappointing since I wont ever be able to fund my studies. Those admitted- have any of you received financial aid?

Considering Walsh and SAIS basically trade places for #1 every year, I think you're in a good spot! 11 minutes ago, AaBbAa said: Got in to the program, but no funding at all. Quite disappointing since I wont ever be able to fund my studies. Those admitted- have any of you received financial aid? I'm in the same boat. I'm applying to a foreign language fellowship which should help... but I'd still have to borrow wayyyy too much money. I think I'll do it because working at a dream job with some financial stress is probably better than at a job I don't want with financial security... but ugh. PupCakes 1

It'd be cool to go 4/4, but even if I get into SAIS at this point, Georgetown is where I'll be! 38 minutes ago, AaBbAa said: Got in to the program, but no funding at all.

A bit of bummer, to be sure. AONomad 1
AONomad Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 I wonder if it's like law schools where if we receive aid elsewhere we can haggle a bit.
Catam Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Got in to MSFS with $30,000 in financial aid for the first year, renewable for the second year! SO HAPPY, was really not expecting the results today!! Bubba94 and PupCakes 1 1
Charizard33 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Congrats everyone !! I got "After a thorough review of your application, the MSFS Admissions Committee is recommended to the Georgetown University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences your admission to the Master of Science in Foreign Service program for fall of 2020." Does this mean I got in ???Also - I'm very excited to also be one of the rare double degree MSFS and Global History MA (MAGIC)!! No funding but big degrees!! Sircptpicard 1
AONomad Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Ugh we're all gonna be broke for the next 15 years lol Bubba94, Sircptpicard and Dwar 3

I'm assuming it's all but a formality, as far as waiting on the official letter. Like if between now and then they discover that someone lied on their applications or something, they could rescind the offer, but barring that, I think you're in! Sircptpicard 1
