k_angie Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 For me, if not IHEID, I will take the double master between Warwick University and Konstanz University. First year in UK, second year in Germany, which maybe is a good thing since I always want to improve my English and German. ooo sounds nice! You didnt apply to Scpo then?
sanfan Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 ooo sounds nice! You didnt apply to Scpo then? No, I should but I didn't.
mych Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 If not IHEID, whats you next choice? In my case my second choice is the MPP at Hertie, followed by ScPo and Uv Amsterdam. I'm fairly sure I'll accept IHEID if I'm admitted, but giving up Hertie will certainly hurt - I like the curriculum, the class sizes are small, industry connections are fantastic and reviews are great, plus I absolutely love Berlin . Uv Amsterdam is the only one of my top 4 that I can afford without a scholarship or loan, however, so it's by no means out of the running. For me, if not IHEID, I will take the double master between Warwick University and Konstanz University. First year in UK, second year in Germany, which maybe is a good thing since I always want to improve my English and German. Konstanz is beautiful! Absolutely stunning place, great medieval towns and inspiring scenery. Not to mention one of the biggest flea markets in Europe covering a distance of about 2.5 km and extending into Switzerland.

Mych, thanks so much for the information!!! That's a lot to expect. I've travelled some German cities, such as Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen, Heidelberg, Munich but not Konstanz. The same with you, I'm a super Berlin fan!! I've thought about many times to study in Berlin, but gave up to apply in the end, a big pity.
alchyna Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Wether we are admitted or not, we, the first-round-people should open a business teaching and guiding perspective students on the whole IHEID application process. Cuz we have been through the freaking whole period/process over the last four months. I applied on the 9th of Nov, 2013. Today is 12th Mar, 2014. We can provide consoling service to ease the anxiety during waiting period, technical support on personal statement and scholarship statement writing and communicating with IHEID (or with Paola). Who wants to invest in my new business? I applied Oct 26 first application I submitted! And here we are still waiting... I def am in! We can make the big bucks with the 2015 entering class! One thing though I don't want to be in charge of the moral support department of our new venture I'm not good at cheering people up. I will most likely tell them they are doomed like I was lol
arbitist Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Okay so I just emailed IHEID and Ms Eicher just got back to me with this. I think it might be very well be a glitch. She said the following. "Dear Angel, Thank you for your message. You will receive tomorrow morning the decisions on both admission and scholarship. Please, be patient, Best regards, Paola Eicher" So well there might just be home and silver linings and all. Sigh. Relieved. Happy. Wow. Tomorrow it is then! good luck!
arbitist Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 i other news, i got my first rejection today. hope this balances out with better news tomorrow
k_angie Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 Wow. Tomorrow it is then! good luck! Thank you and same to you i other news, i got my first rejection today. hope this balances out with better news tomorrow Awww! A hug from me to you!

kittythrones Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Aww, I am sorry . Whiskey & a good night's sleep will make you feel slightly a bit better. I am sure tomorrow will be a great day! i other news, i got my first rejection today. hope this balances out with better news tomorrow
PSK Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Hi Everyone, I just stumbled upon this forum. I applied for the MA in International Economics and I have yet to hear back. Is there anyone here that has applied to it or knows if there is a thread somewhere for that program? Thanks everyone- and good luck!
kittythrones Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Hello PSK, welcome . Well, I almost applied to the same program but I opted not to. I think SciencePo is more of a rolling basis type of thing - the earlier you apply the better. I applied in the end of January and I am still waiting to hear back from them & UCL. Yourself?
Grec1 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Hi Everyone, I just stumbled upon this forum. I applied for the MA in International Economics and I have yet to hear back. Is there anyone here that has applied to it or knows if there is a thread somewhere for that program? Thanks everyone- and good luck! Same boat here. I got an email last week that we should hear about our applications on the 14th. It seems to me that the Econ people are heavily underrepresented on these forums. All I see are people applying to either the MDev or MIA. Edited March 12, 2014 by Grec1

Not sure how to shorten it). I've really only seen MDev applicants around. :S I'm still under consideration. Edited March 12, 2014 by CarefreeWritingsontheWall
Bluebird86 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Good luck everyone!! May the odds be ever in your favor!!!! kittythrones 1
mickun88 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 congratulations to those admitted again. I sincerely hope that first round people will get their results tomorrow. Angie, I am sure the scholarship thing is just technical problem. No matter what news tomorrow brings, once again THANK YOU very much for every single one of you who has accompanied me all these 4 months. Best of Luck. Mucha suerte Todas y Todos.
alchyna Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Are you guys so sure we will all find out our fates tomorrow? Knowing my luck, I feel like tomorrow will still be another "under consideration" day...
Guest Chiper91 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Hey everyone. I applied for the M.A in International Economics at IHEID. Looking forward to tomorrow's news. Unfortunately I am almost certain that I am going to get rejected. Poor math background, no publications and low GRE scores.....Nevertheless, good luck to everyone!
Bluebird86 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Are you guys so sure we will all find out our fates tomorrow? Knowing my luck, I feel like tomorrow will still be another "under consideration" day... ha! I feel the same way, but I'm trying to remain optimistic! Edited March 13, 2014 by Bluebird86

alchyna Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 LOL let me be quiet and not jinx us! If we believe hard enough we will get our decisions tomorrow then we will! Fingers crossed! I'm just so tired of waiting I just want to know alreadyyyyh! Good luck everyone!
k_angie Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) So well I checked my online application follow up status and well what do you know! ACCEPTED MDev Unfortunately no scholarship and it remains refused as yesterday which means it wasn't a technical fault. Nevertheless thanks for the support you guys! Guess I am the first one to know from the deferred applicants. Haha irony! Though I haven't received an official email yet! As for everyone else waiting I hope you guys get through with full scholarship! Loads of wishes Edited March 13, 2014 by k_angie Bluebird86 and oriole 2
