Freja Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hey all, I assumed by now all of us should have chosen at least one program for fall 2012. The only unsolved question would be the waitlist position. I, myself, were waitlisted by Chicago Harris MPP program. I believe there are others like me who are anxiously waiting for the result. So I was wondering if we can share our waitlisted info for no matter what program. This may be beneficial for people like me. I tried to call Chicago several times but no one answers the phone like ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peach11 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm anxiously waiting on hearing back from Fletcher. It won't be until at least mid-May though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflorezi Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I rejected my offer from G'town on Sunday, so there's one more spot for those that were waitlisted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nossessell Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've been wait listed by both SIPA and SAIS. I have no idea when i'll hear from either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose1 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Today's the deadline to accept a lot of programs. I suspect there will be a flood of people getting off the waitlist soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDPFDan Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm waitlisted at SIPA. I called yesterday just to verify I'm still on the waitlist, and was told that decisions should be out "in the next few weeks." That's as much info as they were willing to give.

OregonGal Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 When I asked JHU-SAIS about waitlist a month ago, they said they probably wouldn't even be convening the waitlist admit committee until after finals, so waitlisters wouldn't find out until probably late May-early June. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow since today their phone is probably ringing off the hook with last minute deciders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freja Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 I called Chicago today. She said the result will be out in the week of May 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRbkk Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Hi Guys, New to this. I was recently accepted to SAIS Bologna but rejected from the IDEV program which is my area of interest. I find myself leaning towards the program at SIPA and I am quite eager to find out regarding the waitlist. I would much rather prefer to go to SIPA as Columbia is more well known in South East Asia where I plan on working after graduation. From my research, although the SAIS program might be regarded as highly prestigious in the US. It is not as well known in Asia in EU. I Would love to hear your thoughts. I am extremely eager to get off the waitlist at SIPA. A yes or a no would save dozens of sleepless nights. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Accepted: JHU SAIS-BC, ISS (Hague), GSD (Geneva) Rejected: Georgetown MSFS, LSE, SOAS, IHEI (Geneva) Waitlisted: Columbia SIPA Waiting: Dual Program Sciences Po/LSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclectic4 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I got off the waitlist at UC Berkeley on the 1st of May and they gave me until May 7th to decide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akristine1 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Just got the news yesterday that I was accepted to Elliot off the waitlist! Tough decision time - was planning on attending the GPIA program at the New School because they gave me a full ride, now questioning it! GW has always been my dream school. Ah what to do?!

adorius Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I am waitlisted at American SIS IDEV. I had an interview with an admissions speacialist about 3-4 weeks ago, and he said that waitlisted people should be hearing back around the end of May or early June, but he also says that each department takes a different amount of time. Has anyone heard back from AU IDEV who was previously on the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junebug42 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Just got the news yesterday that I was accepted to Elliot off the waitlist! Tough decision time - was planning on attending the GPIA program at the New School because they gave me a full ride, now questioning it! GW has always been my dream school. Ah what to do?! i just graduated from the elliott school's undergraduate program and i took quite a number of its graduate level classes to fulfill my requirements. although the school has amazing and well respected professors, it's academic quality can sometimes be questionable. most importantly, the professors and staff are extremely supportive and willing to help their students find internships/jobs and write letters of recommendation. as an undergrad, i was annoyed that the classes were late at night and that it met once a week for among 2 1/2 hours to 3 hours but it makes sense from a graduate perspective. the graduate classes are set up in a manner that allows the students to work during the daytime and study in the evenings. furthermore, the location of gw is prime - it is located so close to the state department, csis, brookings institute, pearsons institute, human rights watch, etc. during my college years, i had a number of internships at a couple of think-tanks and i noticed that gw probably has the largest reach and connections within these institutions. for instance, many of the research fellows and program members at the wilson center and csis were alumni or professors at gw. overall, i highly recommend going to gw but this is also coming a recent graduate who may have a biased opinion of her alma mater. i wish you luck with whichever choice you make and congratulations.
