IDstudent Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I applied to GHD and had an interview last week with a current student. Eagerly awaiting a response now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda27 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 @IDstudentI am in the same boat! Waiting is the hardest. During my interview the person said possible end of February, early March? Do you have any other insights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDstudent Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 @Panda27 Glad it's not just me! When I asked my interviewer they just said March (I don't think they really knew). I've been looking at the results page on here though and in 2020 it looks like they sent out admissions on Feb 23! I bet we'll hear by the first week of March at the latest.

Given a pandemic I'd expect it to be on the later end of that, maybe like 3/15-3/20 or something. Random: I submitted the analytical writing sample for SSP and the portal shows it as a green check mark, but in the top section where it lists the documents they have received, it is not shown as one of them. I assume they would have emailed me if they thought something was missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to the Latin American studies program so I'm not sure when we will receive any notifications (it varies by program). For your second question, I would definitely call grad admissions and see how they can help you. Don't email them because I'm pretty sure they are not answering emails right now. I emailed them 2 days ago but I haven't heard a response yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that right after submitting my application and this is what I got back from Robert; "On my end, it shows that you've uploaded the 600-word analytical writing sample. This happened to other applicants where the writing sample didn't appear in the final check-list although it had been uploaded!" niceswing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheana Gray Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I applied to SSP (concentration: technology and security) with a 4.0 GPA (technical undergrad, not IR related) from GWU, no GRE, somewhat strong work experience relevant to the concentration in which I applied, solid references, President of a Student Org, and a maybe not so great writing sample. Honestly not sure what to expect. I showed a lot of interest throughout the application process by going to all of the applicant happy hours and other events hosed by Georgetown, but I don't really know if they consider those things. Biggest concern is funding, I had really hoped for the CC SFS scholarship but apparently it's year 5 of it's funding and can only support 2-3 students this year. However, they've applied for renewal and if that gets approved they would be able to fund anywhere up to 11 students. In the scholarship information session they said that they accepted ~12% of applicants last year so with it being even lower than years past I'm not too optimistic.

musicaflores Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 @Rheana Gray I saw that someone submitted their results for the Security Studies Program (you might want to check it out). I have the feeling that you will hear back from admissions soon. Wishing you the best!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
