Am so tensed, anyone heard anything yet ? not me... i have it stored somewhere in my brain that hopkins and/or SIPA are sending their things out today but no word yet for me so...
astra2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 SAIS won't be sending out notifications until next week. not me... i have it stored somewhere in my brain that hopkins and/or SIPA are sending their things out today but no word yet for me so...
Quixotic Man Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 SAIS won't be sending out notifications until next week. I applied to SAIS but have not seen any info on dates for notifications. Thanks for sharing that info. I'm intrugued to know - where did you find out that they'll be sending them out next week? Did you call up the admissions office?
astra2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I have a friend who works there and that's what she told me. I applied to SAIS but have not seen any info on dates for notifications.

SaraDC Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Astra2011 - thanks, I was also curious about the source. According to last year's threads, SAIS decisions went out on 3/20. Georgetown SFS went out on 3/15, and SIPA started releasing during the first week of March. Just a guess, but I bet we'll start to hear from SIPA this week. It would be nice to know what the notification date will be this year for SAIS. If anyone hears anything concrete I'll add it to the little chart that I've hung in my cube right above my computer screen. Yes, this is pretty much all I think about. Edited March 7, 2011 by SarahL
disintegrate Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Is the JHU Institute of PP US $39k per year or for both the years??I find it amazing that they would charge more than SAIS Edited March 7, 2011 by disintegrate
argonaut Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 How unlikely is it to get full tutition from SAIS as an American? I have heard it depends on departments, but anyone know more?
SaraDC Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I have no idea. There was at least one essay-based fellowship that covered full tuition (deadline was back in February I think). Receiving full funding for one or both years fully funded is probably relatively rare, but I don't have any statistics to back that up. Right now I'm in the process of trying to talk myself out of calling the admissions office to ask when they expect to release decisions. I know they are busy - but it would be nice to have a hard deadline to look forward too.
Ashlett Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 So SAIS and Georgetown acceptances will be out next week? Just acceptances, or the whole shebang (rejections and waitlists)? I have a major interview for a fellowship next week, and I should know by the end of the week whether or not I got it...so maybe they'll hold off until I can let them know if I got it. heh.

Georgetown is definitely next week on 3/15 - whole shebang. But I don't think we have anything concrete for SAIS. I do believe they release all the MA decisions at once (unless you applied though the Bologna Center) - but we don't know what day it will be yet. Last year it was 3/15.

That week is either going to be AWESOME or completely blow. hahaha!
SaraDC Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Hm - just noticed that the admitted students day at SIPA is Tuesday 4/12. At SAIS it's Wednesday 4/13 (according to the "your application is complete email" they sent mid January.
PoliticallyAff Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 So SAIS and MSFS are February 15th? What about GWU and Tufts?
Quixotic Man Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I'm pretty sure you mean March 15th - unless I missed my decision? So SAIS and MSFS are February 15th? What about GWU and Tufts?
SaraDC Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 So SAIS and MSFS are February 15th? What about GWU and Tufts? I'm still not sure where you're seeing 3/15 for SAIS.
Quixotic Man Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 An email from SAIS I received says that "their reading process is usually complete by mid-March with admissions decisions being made shortly thereafter". Looks like last year was 15th, year before March 20th. I'm still not sure where you're seeing 3/15 for SAIS.

Quixotic Man Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 6pm on March 7th counts as 'early March' according to SIPA (congrats on your acceptance, by the way. I'm still waiting), so March 9th is a bit hopeful for 'mid March'. But you never know! Got it, thanks. This process as driven me to the point where I read "mid-March" and hope that means March 9.
PoliticallyAff Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I meant March 15 lol (I'm multitasking and spasming out at the same time) I'm pretty sure you mean March 15th - unless I missed my decision?
foodlover28 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I had a dream that as I was brushing my teeth in the morning I received an acceptance email from SAIS (with scholarship!) . As I was reading the email on my phone (in my dream), I woke up, grabbed my phone and checked .... only to find out that it was just a dream ~_~ (but it was so real...)

SaraDC Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) I finally broke down and called (I'm weak). The person answering the phone didn't have any specifics, but she did say not to expect anything until next week. Oh well - guess hearing something this week was too optimistic after all.

Magnolia2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I don't know about you guys, but I'm starting to regret not having applied to more schools at this point... Can't dwell can't dwell can't dwell!!
