BurmeseAlien Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have indeed decided on MSFS -- best of all worlds in my book. (Still don't know what a "Hoya" is though.) A lot of people will be deciding in the next week so you should hear back soon, at least? Are you looking anywhere else? Best of luck! I hope so too! Georgetown MSFS is the only one I am waitlisted. I didn't get into two other schools(SAIS and SIPA). I should've applied to more schools. What was I thinking! Crossing my fingers. And yes good choice on the school! Maybe I'll see you around MSFS, if I get in.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurmeseAlien Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'm in the same vote as hedong123, but I am between Fletcher and Georgetown. Got accepted to the MSFS program; received no funding. I got accepted to Georgetown for undergrad as well and was in the same situation. I turned down SAIS because the MALD and MSFS are more in line with my academic and future career goals. I really want to go to Georgetown because the program is a perfect fit for me and my future career goals! I spoke to admissions this week, but yet again due to "limited funding" they are unable to give me any funding; just loans from my financial aid package. I also talked with Fletcher this week as well and they gave me an additional scholarship on top of their original offer. I was once told that funding = how bad they want you. This gave me something to think about......... At one point, I was just going to suck it up and go because the program is a great fit for me; however, do I really want to be $142,740 in debt after two years just for a Masters Degree program?! I would be a fool to go into that much debt. Sadly yet again, I am 90% sure I will be turning down Georgetown's offer. I am excited to become apart of the Fletcher Mafia and excited to give someone the opportunity to be taken off the waiting list at GU! Good luck with your decisions everyone!! OMG I just hope they get me off the waitlist for MSFS! The wait is killing me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurmeseAlien Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm off to the Fletcher School! I kinda regret not applying to Fletcher this cycle. If I don't get into Georgetown this year, I'll apply to Fletcher too and more schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
