ReinventOneself Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Mine just came in now! I got an email saying the decision came in, and the I checked the site, and it was there.
aidyinamman Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Finally got the admissions letter. Did anyone get info on funding?
Akueldo Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Same! And it looks like funding information won't come until mid March.
MsFutureDiplomat Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Accepted to DC!! So happy . No info on funding yet either. Just out of curiosity is it possible to study in bologna the second year or just for a semester? I am glad to be in DC but would like the study abroad experience too
maplesyrup88 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Anyone else still receive nothing? No one picked up when I called... Starting to worry...
InternationalHopeful Posted December 31, 2014 Author Posted December 31, 2014 I got the email around 5:45 EST. Feels good to have that weight off my shoulders!
outofspace Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I haven't received an e-mail either, unfortunately. Anyone else still receive nothing? No one picked up when I called... Starting to worry...
maplesyrup88 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I haven't received an e-mail either, unfortunately. Going to call first thing tomorrow, hoping they're open. Would be really upsetting if something went wrong after all the effort of getting it in on time for the early deadline. Hopefully just an email glitch or something.
treegirl109 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Still nothing for me either. I guess I'm going to call later.
treegirl109 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 On the voicemail, they said they will be out of the office for the holidays December 30th and January 1st and 2nd. I think the voicemail is mistaken. I think they meant December 31st and January 1st and 2nd.
maplesyrup88 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Yeah I noticed that too. Going to try again on Friday since it sounds like they're running online info sessions so maybe there will be someone in the office. Pretty upset with SAIS right now!
maplesyrup88 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 What did people's confirmation emails say after they submitted their apps? Mine said I wouldn't hear back till March so I called to clarify and they assured me I would hear back by Dec 30. I thought that was strange though and beginning to wonder now...
Akueldo Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 @Maplesyrup, my first confirmation email said that too, but that same day I received a second, corrected email that said I'd hear by Dec 30th (and I did). So I think that's what everyone heard, and unrelated to your not hearing yet. Hope that helps.
maplesyrup88 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 @akueldo Got it, thanks. Guess it doesn't have to do with that email then. Congrats on your acceptance btw!
maplesyrup88 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Anyone else still not received an e-mail? I still haven't received it.
nss302 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 For those who haven't received their results, it might be possible that they did not put you into the early notification pool...I had thought I was being considered in the early round, but I checked with the admission staff in early December and they said they didn't receive my transcript. It later turned out that the transcript had somehow been mailed to their office yet they did not put it into my file. I very much hoped to receive admission result earlier so I argued my case with them. I think SAIS is not doing a very good job in helping the applicants to check with what they are missing, and neither do they have a tracking system online. P.S. Although they finally agreed to put me into the early pool, I am deferred to regular decision. Anyone the same?

Although they finally agreed to put me into the early pool, I am deferred to regular decision. Anyone the same? That's very disappointing, especially because they told me earlier that we would be notified if anything was missing from the our files, but it sounds like you had to call to find out. I haven't received any response from them since Dec. 30 when I failed to get any decision notification so I plan to try again today. Really disorganized and inconsiderate of everyone who put in the time and effort to make the early deadline. I think this is the first year they had the option so maybe they're still working out the kinks.
maplesyrup88 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Can anyone confirm that there was in fact an "early notification" option on the application that people checked off or selected when applying? I see no such question on the application now or on the pdf copy, but they are saying only those who selected it were informed.

I see no such question on the application now or on the pdf copy, but they are saying only those who selected it were informed. Under Application for Admission -> Program and Campus: To which of the following degree programs are you applying? * You have a few options in the drop down menu, two of which are: MA & MA Early Notification When I submitted my application in November, I selected MA Early Notification and it is reflected on my PDF copy. In mid-November I received an email notifying me that my MA application was complete and I'd receive a response by mid-March. I then received a follow-up email letting me know my application decision would be completed by December 30th since I selected Early Notification. They're still working out kinks, I guess. I got a response on the 30th. If you haven't gotten one, perhaps you didn't select the Early Notification or your application is incomplete?
treegirl109 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Although my transcript arrived on November 5th, I am worried the same thing might have happened to my application as nss302. I emailed them about my completed application (I do not live in the United States so calling isn't easy for many reasons), and I received this message in response:Thank you for your inquiry. Due to the high volume of the applications received, we unfortunately cannot provide any information on the status of individual applications at this point. We will be in touch about the status of applications in the coming weeks. I'm just going to call next week. Hopefully all issues will be resolved, and worst case, I have to wait until March to find out like the rest of my schools. At this point, I think that's what's going to happen.
