Localchampion Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 So I applied early decision to IHEID international economics program. Today I woke up to an email: Dear Student, Following your application we have pleasure in sending you further information regarding the various options for accommodation at the Edgar de Picciotto Student House. Then I went to their website and read under "important dates" 23 January: Admitted students will received by email the link to the application form of the Residence. But I didn't recieve an admission letter. And the housing email was mass-sent and not customized . Is this common? I am kinda paranoid that the email could be a mistake.

iphi Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hm, I would say no (my undergrad had students apply for housing in February, before they knew if they were admitted or not just because space was so limited) but the 23 January thing seems like a good sign! It could be that you have been recommended for admission by your department and it has to now clear through the graduate school. That's a common next step. If you really want to you could probably contact your department. Tell them you want to fill out the housing form, but you haven't received a formal offer. Maybe they'll be nice enough to clue you in. And congrats! Localchampion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llaura_lg Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I got the exact same housing e-mail and was wondering about that too but I applied for the MIA program! March 15th can't get here soon enough. I want to know. But if the wait means that I get in then it would've been worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llaura_lg Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I actually just checked the IHEID facebook page and this is what I got: "Dear Ashley, we have sent this link to all candidates. Should you wish to apply for housing, you can do so and obviously we will consider your application only once the admission decision is out. Best Paola Eicher" The group on FB is called: The Graduate Institute Geneva And it looks like Paola works for IHEID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Localchampion Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Thanks guys. Iphi you were right. I called them to ask. They confirmed that it was mass-sent! Argh...ohh well, till March 15th. I feel you llaura_lg. This wait is killing me. It's my top choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
