Applying a second time.

[The Mark]

I'm curious to hear about your experiences reapplying to these programs: SAIS MA and MSFS. I'm wondering what effect, if any, persistence plays in the readmissions game. I applied to the big four programs in DC a couple years and got dinged at all but one, GWU, but they offered no money, so I passed. But I've been getting that itch again. I can't get it out of my mind. 

 

I understand that improving your application in a meaningful way is the most important factor in reapplying. However, I'm just looking to hear some stories and get back into this.

I know nothing about your profile, but it sounds like you need to have solid, critical reader go over your essays and resume with you. Think a successful, critically minded State/NGO type.

 

Most success at these types of schools - and once you get out - comes down to how you present yourself....
