Georgetown SFS, SSP 2020

[QP6161]

Anyone out there apply? Heard any indication on notification date?

[PupCakes]

I applied. Haven't heard anything yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be soon, though!

Same! Of all the programs, they seem to be the most tight-lipped. Which I think is good and bad.

I applied to this program as well as some MPP programs at Georgetown, and another school.  I heard from both MPP programs this week (admitted!) but have no idea of when we will know about SFS/SSP.

I received an email from the SFS Admissions Director on Tuesday saying that they are recommending to Georgetown's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences that I be offered a place on the waitlist. She said Georgetown's Graduate School will release an official offer on March 23 with instructions on how to respond to a waitlist offer.

I am also waiting on an official acceptance letter as well.

Are you both referring to the SFS security studies program or the MSFS program?

MSFS

Oh I guess that's a bit confusing, MSFS is also referred to as SFS: https://sfs.georgetown.edu/

I've heard the security studies program more often referred to as SSP or CSS (Center for Security Studies). https://css.georgetown.edu/

Same, congrats! Any word on funding in your notification? Mine just said official notice is forthcoming, so assuming it would be in there.

To you as well, nothing yet. They did not, however, fail to mention that a Georgetown education is pricey. Do keep us updates though.

I am waiting on MSFS confirmation.
