Goose1459 Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Congrats to the applicants who were accepted yesterday. Still haven't heard on my end, but I suppose no news is good news?
heyheymse Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I haven't heard back yet either. If they let me in I'm happy to keep waiting, though. Okay, maybe not happy, but you get my point...
Frank7212372 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Are there any dual degree applicants here? I still didnt hear anything from them..
Kadisha Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Are there any dual degree applicants here? I still didnt hear anything from them.. If they're anything like other schools you should hear back from each school separately.

sf415 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 what percentage of MSFS applicants do you think monitor this forum?
ansac111 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 what percentage of MSFS applicants do you think monitor this forum? Don't know but I am slightly concerned with the lack of general discussion/interest regarding MSFS at gradcafe compared to programs like SAIS, HKS, fletcher. I hope it is not indicative of something...

I guess you are right. I see you also have got through some other good programs. Have you made up your mind about where you would be heading to?
Kadisha Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I guess you are right. I see you also have got through some other good programs. Have you made up your mind about where you would be heading to? I was on the fence between SIPA and SFS. I know SFS gives a great quality education and sets you up really well for a career in the public sector. When I initially applied SFS was where I wanted to go, but being in the military I've grown disenchanted with government work, so at this point I'd really like to make it in the private sector. That coupled with the fact that I found out my military benefits at SIPA give me $38,000 of funding per year and a life long dream of mine to live in NYC made it a very easy choice. At this moment I'm trying to iron out the last few details in regards to funding. So I would say there's a 95% chance I'm going to SIPA. But I'd like to make it clear if I intended to work with the DoS then SFS is where I would go. Their curriculum seems to be greatly suited for such a job.

Wow that a great offer from SIPA ..To get such a generous offer from a supposedly stingy institute speak volumes about your profile .... I have got small funding from GTown (10K $ a year) but in two minds right now . Since I am an international candidate working for US state is not an option for me, therefore I would primarily target pvt or Multilateral sector. Do you think Gtown is strong there? especially with its ICB concentration ?
ansac111 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 Dinged! :-/ Sorry to hear that..but chin up, you have admits from equally good schools. All the best in whatever you deicide !
sf415 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Dinged! :-/ damn sorry man but like others have said you have some awesome other options. im still waiting. hearing that from you makes me think my rejection notice is coming - how do you get into SIPA and SAIS but not even waitlisted for MSFS?? Any chance you'd be willing to share your stats?
ivydreams3 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Dinged! :-/ Aw man. Sorry to hear that. There is that admissions randomness I was talking about. You have options people are dying for, though.
ivydreams3 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Dinged as well! Disappointing but at least now I know. Looks like I will (most likely) go to SAIS Bologna.
ansac111 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 anybody else received any news on funding?
JFactor Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Yeah I was able to see my admission letter yesterday and no word about funding so didn't get any. So Georgetown is out. Surprised (and pleased) I got in though.
nason Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Anyone else still waiting? Only decision I haven't received yet
oatsoy Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Anyone else still waiting? Only decision I haven't received yet I'm still waiting too! And same; only Georgetown left....ughh
ansac111 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 I'm still waiting too! And same; only Georgetown left....ughh Someone from adcoms put on their FB admitted students page that the decision will keeping coming out till the end of this month. All the best for all who are waiting
heyheymse Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I'm also still waiting. Of course, by the end of the month I may go insane, so then my decision status will be rather a moot point.
heyheymse Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Another day without an answer! I wonder what the hold-up is?
sf415 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) i know theres nothing i can do to get back at them but im going to be REALLY UPSET if they make me wait through another weekend Edited March 22, 2013 by sf415
