jpa Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I just saw on SSP's website that we will be hearing from them via email within 2 weeks. And what about MSFS? Has anybody heard from either one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invictus Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 No word from MSFS yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpa Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Has anyone called the admissions office to ask when we will hear from them? I did, but I got the "3rd week of March" nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sroek Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Have those of you that have gotten accepted by mail also received an email. Are some getting emails and others snail mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invictus Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Sroek - No email and no change in my status online, just a snail mail acceptance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sroek Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I'm freaking out guys and feeling a bit nauseous! Good to know that just because I didn't get an email I still may have a lifeline. Congratulations to you that have been accepted and I'll be waiting here in Los Angeles for those envelopes to get here soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s800x Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I received an email earlier today for the SSP although I am an international student if that means anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sroek Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 It may. Any other people receive emails and are abroad? Any emails domestically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
younglions Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hey congratulations on the acceptance! SFS is a great school in a great location. Did your acceptance letter include any info about funding? Or are they making you wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invictus Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Thanks younglions. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everybody else who has to wait the weekend for their packet. The cover letter stated that if funding was included then additional information would be enclosed. Unfortunately, I didn't get any. I even checked the envelope twice to make sure I didn't miss it Oh well, I don't think MSFS is known for their generous funding offers anyhow. Did anybody have better luck?

energie Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 It may. Any other people receive emails and are abroad? Any emails domestically? I'm an international student outside the US applying for MSFS. And I havn't got an email yet. It seems that I need to wait for the mail?? I want to know the result asap as I will have to decide where to go and notify my sponser. I got into SAIS, SIPA, Fletcher and Elliott. Otherwise I'll choose SAIS w/o SFS result.

happyhulalola Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Still waiting for Georgetown, I hope I get something soon. I was notified of being waitlisted by GW. I have to accept their waitlist offer by April 24 and they will let me know if I am accepted by May 18. I am calling on Monday to see how far down I am. Err...

Rhymenoceros Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I got a 2/3 tuition merit scholarship, so that was exciting! they also said that over 1000 applied for 90 spots, so that amounts to really tough admissions process! Good luck to everyone who hasn't heard yet - they don't call it snail mail for nothing. Was this scholarship notice included with your admissions letter? Or did it arrive separately? Huge congrats on the scholarship - according to the MSFS website only 10-15% of 1st year students receive merit aid! I got into MSFS but didn't receive any merit aid. I'm still waiting on my SAIS aid package, so hopefully I'll get some free money from them *crosses fingers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invictus Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 anxiouslywaiting - congrats on the MSFS funding offer. That's quite the achievement! You leaning towards accepting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anxiouslywaiting Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 It's definitely a possibility. It's funny because I always imagined when I heard from all of my schools, it would be an easy decision, but I like Berkeley, Fletcher, MSFS and SAIS, plus I am interested to see if I can get off the WL at HKS (although thats prob a long shot). So I have a lot of thinking to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
