wantgrad Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 erry3779 I'm with you...got the SAIS email at 4am in India, and no news yet from SIPA. I'm trying not to do the refresh every 5 minutes thing, but it's hard to stay away from the damn computer!
cannotdecide Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 And THANK YOU Columbia for including my PIN in the e-mail so I didn't have to go through 6 months of e-mail to find it! SERIOUSLY! I was so thankful for that. and then when i opened the letter i closed my eyes waiting for the worst but i got IN! yay.
Helpplease123 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 mine says the same "we look forward to working with you" thing! anxiously waiting! With submission status: not submitted underneath that?
Coloradical Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) With submission status: not submitted underneath that? exactly that for me e: I can only assume it means we've been accepted with full funding Edited March 14, 2012 by Coloradical hudwa 1
orangesplease Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 You folks should consider posting 2012 info in the "SIPA page" thread as to not incorporate new info w an existing 18 page thread. Feel free to do as you like, just thought that would make sense >.< Mine says submitted at the top while on the bottom it says "not submitted." If you do not easily see the decision link somewhere in the bottom lines (or haven't received an email this morning), you probably don't yet have a decision.
HDPFDan Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) exactly that for me e: I can only assume it means we've been accepted with full funding Haha, I wish! Edit: Should I assume that if I haven't heard today, it will be coming another day? In other words, they've released all the decisions that they're going to on the 14th, and will release another batch on another day? I'd prefer to stop checking my email every 10 minutes today, got a busy afternoon ahead of me at work. Edited March 14, 2012 by HDPFDan
sietval Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Why is there a speculation that having the application status as NOT submitted is an indication that the application's been accepted full funding? Edited March 14, 2012 by sietval
hudwa Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Why is there a speculation that having the application status as NOT submitted is an indication that the application's been accepted full funding? It's a joke man. Jeez, everyone's at their wits end waiting for their SIPA result...
wwsapp Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Did everyone who heard back from SIPA hear at the same time or in batches?
paperdoorway Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Just an observation from the Results Survey - those who got accepted so far today received no funding. Perhaps they roll out admissions by funding decisions?
hudwa Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 wwsapp, it seems that a lot of updates were made to the results survey before 10:00 EST, but there have been almost none since then. That leads me to believe the results are not "rolling" but being released in batches, with all results in a batch going out simultaneously or in quick succession. I am totally overthinking things, but it's good to know I'm probably not the only one.
wwsapp Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 thanks hudwa! i guess the rest will find out tomorrow.
erry3779 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 hey huwda.. are you also waiting for SIPA? got the news already? I haven't heard anything!!!
wwsapp Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 hey huwda.. are you also waiting for SIPA? got the news already? I haven't heard anything!!! i am waiting as well.
erry3779 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 lets all wait again!!! yesterday.. while I was waiting for SAIS decisions.. I eventually fell asleep at 5am (GMT +7) ... the decision was sent to me at 5.20 am!!! Life is playing a game with me!!!
wwsapp Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 in, but probably choose cir over sipa... congrats! when did you find out?
alainray Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 No funding shouldn't come up as such a surprise. It's listed that usually first year applicants don't get funding, and it's reserved for second year students.
hudwa Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 hey huwda.. are you also waiting for SIPA? got the news already? Yes, SIPA is my first choice school. After being waitlisted at SAIS, I really hope SIPA comes through. Fingers crossed!
Cossack Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 from the blog: "We don’t publish all our decisions in a single day, so if yours doesn’t happen to be one of the first to be finalized, hang in there. Waiting isn’t easy but sometimes “it’s” worth the wait." Waiting.... Yea and what the hell were we doing before? staring into space? lol paperdoorway and hudwa 2
pg374 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I got accepted into SIPA's MPA Program with 0 $$$. I got the acceptance at around 8.00 AM (EDT).
hudwa Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Although most respondents on the results survey don't include GPA and GRE information (I have no idea why; if you don't include that information, your post is absolutely useless) those who did share their results thus far show something interesting. The GPA numbers for most of the accepted applicants are in the low 3's, and several rejected applicants are in the high 3's. It can only point to SIPA favoring extensive work experience over undergraduate performance. This gives me a measure of comfort having an objectively bad GPA but lots of experience with a foreign government while living abroad. I hope some of my fellow nailbiters feel the same way.
