Best, Curious_Grad In a few more days, admitted candidates can give you more advice. Hopefully, the admitted candidates will be all of us who applied at the early round.

Curious_Grad Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Hey guys, thanks for getting back with some inputs..i really need that.. I am looking into Development studies since I have my own foundation that is empowering single women in underdeveloped countries...
mickun88 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 .................. i am tired of this waiting game.... any news ?
k_angie Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 No. I don't even know that has my application been pushed for the second pool of applicants OR the institute hasn't started sending out updates yet. It's making me so unproductive, all this waiting.
k_angie Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, thanks for getting back with some inputs..i really need that.. I am looking into Development studies since I have my own foundation that is empowering single women in underdeveloped countries... Wow that's amazing. What's the name of this foundation? Is the foundation based in US itself? Or some developing country? My future goals is something along those lines hence the question. I too have applied for MDev at the institute. As for the suggestions, I would just say focus on your letter of motivation. It can make or break your profile. Edited December 17, 2013 by k_angie
mickun88 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Is there any way to know if the Institute has started sending out results???
k_angie Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Nope. Someone posted on their FB page too. There hasn't been any response from them on that post. I think I am going to write them a mail and ask about the results. Let's see what they respond back? Did any one of you try this?
aplikant Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 I feel that it all depends on the programme you've applied for. The disciplinary programmes have their own respective selection committee, and the interdisciplinary ones have a joint-committee. The number of applications differs considerably between the two different types of programmes (MIA and MDEV having a lot more applicants than the disciplinary ones), so it might take more time for one programme than another. I guess that they will finish uploading all responses by friday - just feel confident, an early application is always an advantage
sanfan Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Just received an email from IHEID, more more more waiting now.
k_angie Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) I too received a mail from them. My application has been pushed for March. So it's like I have been in almost all the stages; rejection, being pushed to March. The only outcome left is being admitted. So well fingers crossed for that. Though good news is, I got through SCIENCES PO. Edited December 17, 2013 by k_angie
sanfan Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Angie, what program did you apply for in Sciences Po?
k_angie Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Guys has anyone been admitted to IHEID? In the first round? Edited December 17, 2013 by k_angie
Ruan Zhaosong Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Postponed to March too. At least not bad news though.
k_angie Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Postponed to March too. At least not bad news though. Did anyone get through or is it just been postponements?
mickun88 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 They have forgotten me. Still under consideration
mickun88 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Until what time will they work today?? It is now 4pm in Geneva. Maybe I have to wait for one more day
k_angie Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Until what time will they work today?? It is now 4pm in Geneva. Maybe I have to wait for one more day Or maybe that you have been admitted by the institute. I mean maybe they sent rejections on 16th, held back applications on 17th and on 18th will send acceptances. Maybe, I am just speculating, nevertheless. Good luck,
k_angie Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Also they usually are in office till 6.
mickun88 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Angie : Do you work there? Virtually, you know everything about the Institute. I am refreshing my email every 10 secs. alchyna : Where are you? Did you have any news?

I am refreshing my email every 10 secs. alchyna : Where are you? Did you have any news? Hahahha, nope it's like I have stalked the institute like a proper professional stalker. Attended too many online sessions plus exp of last year. It's like 7-ish in USA. She must be sleeping! Edited December 17, 2013 by k_angie
