alanapsci Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 A forum for those that applied to American U. Anyone heard any news? How many applicants? When should we expect to hear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewhenitsgray Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I applied, but I'm afraid I don't have any more info than you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarex Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I love American, despite having also heard nothing from them, because they send you so many newsletters and updates and everything that it is hard to imagine they are anything but a very student-friendly, positive environment. Do not forget, though, that they have an online status page for you to check. Not that it is likely to say anything right now, since nobody has evidently heard back.

alanapsci Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Yes, online status page... mine says they never got any information from me! I e-mailed the coordinator and was sent back a response that said... no worries, it will be updated soon.... I have heard they take a long time to decide....

Leica Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 De-lurking here... I applied to SIS for the terminal MA in International Politics - I'm so very much in love with everything about this program that I just couldn't see myself anywhere else. Going by previous cycles, I would expect to hear back next week via snail mail. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanapsci Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 I will assume then "BadUsername" that you have an acceptance to American? Would you mind sharing? Were you given funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadUsername Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I will assume then "BadUsername" that you have an acceptance to American? Would you mind sharing? Were you given funding. Ummm, yes, I guess I have to come clean. I was accepted with a 10k annual stipend, plus a work option for another 4k, plus of course tuition waiver. My subfield is kind of all over the place, mostly IR with a heavy doses of comparative and theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindogs Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I got my acceptance yesterday and am an alternate for funding. Is there anyone out there who received funding and knows they will decline it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
