I heard it was like 5 people total in past years and this year there’s already like 3 people on GC and 2 other people I know personally who’ve gotten it!

niceswing Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 for people who did not get aid for ssp, does the letter have a sentence about "you requested money but we didn't give you any"? my masia letter says that, but ssp just says nothing about money at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it seems like everyone who got a response got in or got on the waitlist so I made that jump in my head too but I still would like to hear back. I got into SAIS and have a great and affordable offer at St. Andrews so if I don’t get into SSP or MSFS it’s not the end but waiting sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought SAIS was far more competitive than SSP, honestly I applied to the MAIR which somewhat matched my interests with the concentration in security/strategy but I really just want to do security studies and study either Russian or Persian hence SSP. But the MLitt program in Middle East Caucasus and Central Asian Security studies at St Andrews is over in 12 months and I’m looking at that now since It’s far more affordable and SAIS gave me no funding besides loans. SSP was pretty much my top choice though MSFS was kind of a backup. I have a very mediocre low 3s GPA so I knew it wasn’t certain but I have killer GRE scores for verbal (98%) so I was hoping that would make up for it ??♂️I guess we’ll see when I actually get a response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I’m from the U.S. and want to work for the State Department or military so Georgetown and D.C. really seemed like the place to do it St Andrew’s is just a great program at a great school and a really cool experience but in terms of finding a job probably wouldn’t be helpful in terms of connections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
