apsuwa Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I have mucked up my sais application pretty badly the second essay looks horrible - issue of national or international importance ! anyone willing to review it ? am in a time crunch hereee Just submitted my SAIS application, I'd love to take a look.
apsuwa Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Any idea what time tomorrow the SAIS application is due? I can't seem to find it on their website. Intiutively, it should be by midnight. But there's no clear information.
SaraDC Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 i called their office and it is midnight Yeah, I realized after I posted. It's midnight tonight right? That's crazy. I totally thought I had another day. Every other school I've looked at has given the day the application is due with a deadline of 5pm or 11:59pm. So the application is actually due on that day... not before it! Arg. As a side note. In previous years, was the prompt for the analysis essay less about "the issue and you" and more about "the issue"? When I looked at it last year, I remember expecting to write something that was very issue focused - essentially showing them that I can write intelligently about international issues. But this year, it seems like it might be a little more of an attempt to get to know me. Any last minute thoughts?

SaraDC Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I'm confused still...is it tonight or tomorrow? Oh I wish I knew. I'm trying to finish my last essay - under the assumption that it's tonight. But if someone could point to something that says tomorrow - then I'd feel much better.
SaraDC Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I suppose I think it's tonight because of this information from the website: What are the deadlines for application to the SAIS Washington, D.C. campus? Degree:Fall 2011 Deadline:Spring 2011 Deadline:M.A.January 7No Spring term entryM.I.P.P.February 28October 15Ph.DFebruary 1No Spring term entry Should the application material be postmarked on the deadline or should it be in by the deadline? All material, including the GRE or TOEFL scores, must be received by the SAIS Office of Admissions in advance of the published, appropriate deadline. Is there a late deadline for applications? No. Completing an application by the January 7th deadline will allow for equal consideration in terms of the admissions and financial aid processes.... So clearly, the statement above refers to the hard copy material that needed to be mailed into the office. But given the emails that have gone out about getting the application in "before the deadline on January 7th", the fact that the website doesn't seem to include any information about a particular time on January 7th, and the fact that NehAgg said he called and they told him midnight (midnight January 7th is technically tonight). That makes me think I have less than three hours to submit, not the 27 hours I'd hoped. But maybe all of this is just last minute panicking? I'm so burned out with applications I don't know what to think anymore.
SaraDC Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 no no it is tonight .pls don worrry . It is tonight?
indyir Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 It is tonight? yes 12:00 pm 7th EST i called her yesterday afternoon 12 pm : american time n she said u have 36 hoursss ! SaraDC 1
apsuwa Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 It seems SAIS will recieve a huge amount of l,terally last minute applications this year. They should have made the deadline as clear as the SIPA has done; but anyway, the deadline is Januar 7, Friday midnight 23:59:59 EST, which is 16 hours from now.

SAIS's thinking on this defies explanation - each of the other 5 schools I'm applying to have made it very clear exactly when the app needs to be submitted. I imagine this would cause even greater problems for international students in substantially different time zones. Big thanks to NehAgg for the information and willingness to help.
kayoko.ly Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 I am still very confused when it is due!! It is 630 pm Chicago time right now for me so is it due at midnight DC time, rather in 4.5 hours?? Or do I have all day on January 7th to turn it in? Please help! Thank you
Clay Made Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 I spoke to admissions yesterday and the deadline is 7 January 11.59 so you still have about 5-6 hours for finishing touches. I sent mine in earlier and I would be happy to go over your statement if you would like.
kayoko.ly Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Thanks - I wasn't sure so I just submitted by 11:59 pm on Jan 6th. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for the offer
