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.

Congratz!!! I wouldnt mind going to Sciences Po..but I am applying for dual program with LSE ...

Thanks curious_grad. :)

I hope IHEID too takes their result out ASAP.

As for my letter of motivation, I would say focus on why do you want to do the course. That's the most imp thing. I dedicated just a bit on my why do I want to do it from sciences Po. Most part I covered was my future ambitions both short and long term goals plus why the course.

Hope this helps. Pls free to pm me if you have any more questions.

Ha ha ha thanks I feel better already! :D

I think it's time for some humour on this board I'm tired of stressing about things I have no power to change. Time to laugh a bit!

Wow mickun and doublebarrel! I was hoping that since you didn't get an email yesterday that might be a good sign. That seems like an awful lot of people push back to the second round!

Like angie I think interdisciplinary masters are the ones with postponments. I'm also wondering if anyone was even rejected at this round...

What did the postponement e-mails say for IHEID?

It just says that my application will be reassessed with the second round of applications early next year and that I will find out the decision in March.

I don't think it's just a round of rejections. On another board someone annouced they got into the IR/PS program. No one as far as I can tell for interdisciplinary programs. But who knows maybe they are not done notifying admitted students. Maybe they started with us postponments.

I am not a Statistics expert. 

 

In this thread, we have people from all around the world. Each of us has a different professional and academic background. It is quite diverse. 

 

The admission rate is  33%. We are just related by this thread. So you can say the people here are pretty random. We do not know each other. 

 

Statistically, in such a random situation, is it possible that all of us were the worst 66% ?
