Kalaba Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Regarding funding, I got a call Friday telling me I received a merit scholarship but my letter today has the May 2nd decision deadline as well. Not sure that date means anything for sure about funding.
MattCanFly Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Just providing more data. Accepted into the Security Policy Studies program with no word on funding.
kaseyleigh Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Did anyone else apply for the Wolcott Fellowship/have people already heard back about that?
renne107 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Just got my acceptance! They're still coming out people!
crisisdiplomacy Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Just randomly checked the application portal, and I GOT IN! I didn't get an email though -- so for those still waiting, check the app portal itself!!
InternationalHopeful Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Me as well. I think the batches thing sucks, but glad to be in!
crisisdiplomacy Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 NVM.... just got the email lol Just randomly checked the application portal, and I GOT IN! I didn't get an email though -- so for those still waiting, check the app portal itself!!
Petri Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 No email yet and my application status is still the same. I'll report back when either changes.
ir_gradstudent Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Finally had my ESIA decision posted to the portal! No word on funding!
crisisdiplomacy Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I'm loving the online admissions packet they've got going. Wishing other schools like SAIS did this! I've been having to hunt for info..
2012latam Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 just got my email too. I'm in! No mention about funding yet though? Same for everyone else?
DCB Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Just got mine, waitlisted for Security Studies. At this point, almost morbidly hoping for a Georgetown Waitlist so I can have a simultaneous trio of Elliott-SAIS-SFS waitlists. Edited March 16, 2015 by GreenGator
deletethisname Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Quiet on this front. The wait is killing me!
IR.2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 Waitlisted for International Affairs. If anyone is declining admission, let them know soon! Anyone have insider info on how GWU handles its waitlist?
kaseyleigh Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 FYI, I just now received an email about a fellowship ($5K per semester).
2012latam Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 FYI, I just now received an email about a fellowship ($5K per semester). Ah i see, cool! so most people are not getting it at the same time. I just got my admission a few minutes ago, so I'm assuming if I do get something, it'll be later on or sometime this week.
sydneyoh Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I just got in! No word on funding, but still exciting! Congrats everyone
ir_gradstudent Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 FYI, I just now received an email about a fellowship ($5K per semester). Interesting! Was that the Wolcott, or a generic ESIA fellowship?
MattCanFly Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Update; just received an email from GWU offerring a $5,000 fellowship.
ReinventOneself Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Update; just received an email from GWU offerring a $5,000 fellowship. Just got an email as well, offering an $8,000 fellowship (apparently per semester).
MattCanFly Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 The wording was slightly confusing regarding the disbursement of the fellowship. I sent an email asking whether the fellowship was split between each semester (5k fellowship = $2500 per semester) or if 5k was applied each semester.
Con24 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I'm in! anyone knows when do funding notifications come?
Hina Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 That fellowship letter was so unclear. Not sure if it's $8k/semester or $8k/year, which is a huge difference. Has anyone already called and asked? If not, I'll call tomorrow. Congrats to everyone that got in!! ReinventOneself 1
Poli92 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Just found out that I'm in! No word on funding yet.
kaseyleigh Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Interesting! Was that the Wolcott, or a generic ESIA fellowship? This was just a general fellowship! No word yet on the Wolcott. Seems like no one else has heard either? The wording was slightly confusing regarding the disbursement of the fellowship. I sent an email asking whether the fellowship was split between each semester (5k fellowship = $2500 per semester) or if 5k was applied each semester. I thought mine was $5K per semester, until I saw your post, and now I'm questioning mine too. "In your first and second years, you will receive $ 5,000 to be applied toward tuition in Fall 2015, Spring 2016, Fall 2016 and Spring 2017." I think that means $5K per semester? Is that what yours said too?
