Ravine55 Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Since the early notification deadline has now passed, I thought I'd create a thread for fellow SAIS hopefuls. Feel free to discuss the application or other related topics here!
dannybhoy Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 Anyone applying for the Doctor of International Affairs programme?
ab1987 Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 A SAIS student with a deferred admit here. Feel free to post your program and application related queries. Will try my best to answer them.
nuktheory Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 If anyone put in for the Spring Semester, I just got my acceptance to their MIPP program today so looks like those are out! Ravine55 1

Congrats! Any news on financial aid with the acceptance? I applied to the Tsinghua-SAIS dual degree program for Fall 2021. They should have a decision ready by 12/18, but I'm hoping they get back to me sooner.

I didn't see anything mentioning it, but I applied for part-time so I can't say I'm surprised there.
pithotomist Posted November 15, 2020 Posted November 15, 2020 Anyone know if being an alum helps with admissions? I went to Hopkins for my undergrad but my gpa wasn't high enough to meet the auto admit cutoff (SAIS automatically accepted any undegrad student with a GPA above 3.3) I have a decent GRE score and a year's work experience in community development w/ AmeriCorps.
drumer08 Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Have all MAIR applicants already heard back yet?
Jessi_zj Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Have anyone heard back from early notification?
Ravine55 Posted December 11, 2020 Author Posted December 11, 2020 Based on threads from previous years, I don't expect to hear anything until the 18th.
EscapingBrexit Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Their blog says Dec 18th for Early Notification. http://saisdcadmissions.blogspot.com/
nkrish21 Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 @francophile_1 did you apply for MIPP? And how did you know? got a mail?
francophile_1 Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Just now, nkrish21 said: @francophile_1 did you apply for MIPP? And how did you know? got a mail? Applied for an MAIR in Bologna. Just checked my portal and the decision letter was there. No word on funding tho.
hypebeast202 Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Also into SAIS Europe! Looks like funding info won't be out until March with the regular admissions window. I got an email which said and admissions decision had been made and directed me to the portal. It's later in the day in Italy so decisions for DC must be coming later today
yxl338 Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Still waiting but no results, thinking I might be rejected or wl.
morganohara17 Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 I'm in for the MAIR at SAIS Bologna! No email, but just checked my portal.
yxl338 Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 just got in mief, no email. Keep checking your portal. No words on funding tho.
Ravine55 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Posted December 18, 2020 Also just got in! MAIR in DC, no mention of funding. I believe that will come in March. Now I just need to apply to the Tsinghua part of the program. Legionnaire727 1
Legionnaire727 Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Wishing y'all the best luck as decisions roll in. Also received my decision without financial aid mentioned, and from the admitted student site it says: "Your financial aid award letter was emailed to you by the JHU SAIS Financial Aid Office the same day your admission decision was released. If you completed your FAFSA, this notification will also include your eligibility for federal loans. Please review the steps below to accept your financial aid award." So be on the look out for a second email that hopefully will be coming later. Ravine55 1

That's interesting, I was under the impression it would come later due to the fact that the financial aid app isn't due until January 7th. Regardless, that's good to hear.
Legionnaire727 Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 @Ravine55 you were on the dot with March, my Financial Aid email was "Notifications about institutional aid will be sent by mid-March" ? Ravine55 1
