If I get rejected from IHEID,. then I will start planning for LSE !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k_angie Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Angie, have you already put the question on their Facebook page? Nope I emailed them. Wrong choice. They sent me a very clinched reply but then what else should have I expected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchyna Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Well glad to see there is a little bit of progress and someone got a decision back. Congratulations lui_aragon!!! Still under consideration for me and my guess is both interdisciplinary won't hear anything till the end of the week at the earliest. We will most likely be last to be notified next week. But let's try to be optimistic! I'm just dying to know at this point and my stomach is in knots ughhhh I'm unproductive at work as all I do is refresh this thread ha ha ha Edited March 4, 2014 by alchyna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SophiaM2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hello everyone! I applied for MIA, not MDev but I found your thread about IHEID really helpful - thanks so much for posing it. I too am in the situation of having applied for the early application deadline and been postponed to the second round of applications. I keep compulsively checking their online application tracker! So frustrating... Best of luck to everybody still waiting for results. I hope we all hear good news soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird86 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I wish there was just one specific date they would give us so I could stop compulsively checking my e-mail. I also applied to Oxford and have not heard back from them either, and I think the only time frame provided is "late March" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oriole Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I promised myself that I'd stay away from anything IHEID-related since the waiting was driving me crazy and yet here I am again lol.. I'm sure many of you have already seen these but I thought the masters forum and career survey that IHEID's student association did had pretty interesting information:: http://mygisa.ch/blog/2013/12/11/careersurvey/ http://mygisa.ch/blog/2013/11/05/gisa-issues-masters-forum-report/ A couple of points: - Students have complained that class sizes are big, often with 60 people/class. There are concerns that the student population will continue to grow, exacerbating this problem - Career services are apparently not bad but not great either - very understaffed, not much assistance in finding jobs/internships. I think a lot of grad schools have similar issues in terms of class size (I've heard of LSE having big, impersonal classes as well) and career services though so these aren't unique to IHEID. Just some things to think about while we check the application tracker every 2 minutes! (I'm surprised the system hasn't crashed yet haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some things to think about while we check the application tracker every 2 minutes! (I'm surprised the system hasn't crashed yet haha) Yes I did come across this and Alchyna and me discussed this aspect too. Then we came to the conclusion that its networking after all which makes a diff. Secondly, I think they are taking their sweet time to decide who to take and who not to so as to avoid the big class conundrum. Plus I love your signature Oriole, "IHEID - Forever pending, killing me softly", sums up what all of us feel. just got a rej from Georgetown fingers crossed for IHEID... Sorry to hear that. Good luck for IHEID. oriole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
