SAIS 2022

[Lululemons]

Hi - is anyone applying to this programme for Fall 2022? 

Also - would be super grateful for any alumni who would happy to read my SOP and provide feedback!

[XIII_Gemina]

I just submitted my SAIS MAIR application for the early notification deadline. So not an alumn, but would definitely be interested in exchanging SOPs for feedback.

If anyone has any knowledge of or interest in the DIA program, I'd be interested to hear it.

Hi I have also applied EA for SAIS and even took the optional interview. It went super well so I am looking forward to the results. Anyone else who took the interview?

Anyone know when they'll release financial aid info for early admits?

[homosapien1234]

Just found this forum, was looking for info on SAIS Financial Aid and all that, but awesome that there's this thread here. Last year's SAIS thread has some details on people getting financial aid.

Got my SAIS Europe MAIR Acceptance on the 17th. Coming from a (small-ish) Canadian University, straight out of undergrad. Low-Mid 90s average. Minor work experience in energy, written essentially two undergrad theses (one official, another one a part of a specialized program). (International) Business Degree with a significant focus on polisci & econ throughout my electives.

I'll be waiting on Financial Aid (email said mid March) to make my final decision - SAIS price is steep coming from Canada. Applied to a few other programs in Europe (got into one, waiting on Financial Aid/Scholarship decision in March/April too), and two in Canada (Toronto and Carleton).

Happy Holidays to everyone that celebrates.

Does anyone know the acceptance rate for the MAIR program? TIA!

Hi! I do not know what is the exact acceptance rate, however, a student at SAIS told me that it is quite high. But that’s all what I can tell sorry.

Hello. Any idea when regular decision will roll around? Also, on a side note: is it harder to get into SAIS DC for both years than SAIS Europe for One year and DC for the next? (This is for MAIR).

Their website says we will hear by March 9. https://sais.jhu.edu/admissions/masters-program-admissions/how-apply/how-apply-ma-washington-dc

Has anyone else who got in early received a lot of emails about accepting the offer?

Yes, but I still haven't heard anything about scholarships/financial aid.

[pyttipanna]

Is there a chance of still getting aid after you receive your decision notification?

[decaffeinated77]

Just found out I got into SAIS! I called the admissions office and they said that scholarship/financial aid information will be sent out later today in a separate email.

[XIII_Gemina]

RIP, declined from SAIS. Only program I haven't gotten into so far this cycle ?

I got it at 15:21 (CET), financial aid came about 40 min later on a separate email

[Trd]

I found out that I got in through the portal but still haven't gotten an email notification. Anyone else?

No email for me yet, either.

I found out I got in today and received an offer of 12k in grants per year about 30 minutes later. That was this morning about 8 hours ago

[LeO886]

just got into SAIS MAIR and Fletcher MALD today. No money at all ( im an international student didnt even apply lmao). I am surprised that Tufts rejected my application to its MGA program and admitted me to the MALD one lol. Didnt know they could just change my choice.

[dev0900]

I was admitted early and just got my financial aid offer, 25k/year scholarship so 50k total. I was really excited until I realized tuition would still be $72k, lol. ? 

[Grospatapouf]

Received the notification yesterday. 

I am in, with a scholarship of 35K/year of institutional aid - and I did not write the optional public service scholarship essay because... I was not inspired. What a dumb ass. 

Still waiting for Columbia.

I'm curious where everyone is landing with regards to accepting their offer here.  Is there an admitted students chat or a group for people planning on accepting the offer?  Also, it seems all of their "open house" type events are virtual -- is anyone aware of any in-person events for the MAIR program?

Hello there! I am not so sure of any current 'admitted students chat' so far but there is currently a group on Facebook. Also, all the events have been purely online for now. I am not sure if there are any in-person events before the 'decision' date.
