Do they give explanations for rejections?

[The Mark]

I guess I'm trying to think ahead and brace myself for the worst case scenario. Does SAIS/SFS/Fletcher/ESIA/SIS give applicants any kind of feedback on why their applications were rejected? If I find myself being unlucky, I will certainly be reapplying for the following year, and, though I already have a strong indication about why I'd get dinged if I do, it would be nice to have specifics for what to work on.

No. But if you email the graduate director (a few weeks later) they might give you some feedback.

Nice. Thanks for that link. It would be nice if all schools offered the same thing outright.

Wow -- Fletcher offers a simplified application for re-applicants, with requests for additional information which make sense.

 

I agree, it would be nice if all schools offered the same thing!

I missed that you put SIS too.
