I'm feeling pretty disheartened already. *Sigh* Pressing "Fn" + "F12" will display the HTML code on the page for Chrome and internet explorer (I don't know about other browsers). Use ctrl + F to find the "hidden" sections. It should be there for everyone--changing the code on individuals' pages would be a pretty clumsy way to notify people of their decisions--acceptances, rejections, and deferrals--since there's already a section for that which is marked as "under consideration" for all of us at the moment.

unagi Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hi everyone! Submitted my application over the weekend. SO glad it's over with. Good luck to everyone who applied in the early round. I, on the other hand, will have to wait until March! Anyone here applying to SOAS? My application is under academic review currently and I am super anxious. That means it's past the document processing stage and the reviewers are deciding whether or not to accept or reject me right?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taeyeon Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) @su_nayana and @AAAAAAAA, you guys don't need to take my observations so seriously! I just find it interesting to check for any updates to the page, considering I visit it several times a day out of boredom (and also because it's become a reflexive habit). Speaking of updates, there's a notice that IHEID will be on break from 12/19 to 1/3... so looks like @El pichichi's insistence that we'd get answers by 12/16 was incorrect. Now to wait for another month... how exciting, haha. @AndrewM Nice of you to join us! Did you apply by the early deadline or regular? And @unagi, good job with submitting your app! And I'd say "under academic review" sounds like the decisive stage alright, so best of luck! Edited December 16, 2015 by taeyeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirley_xie Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 @taeyeon Although the page code might indicate nothing, I feel it is interesting to study the setting of it!!! Before I started my application, I knew literally nothing about the things in related to coding!!! Now, because of your findings, it seems checking the page code become my daily habit as well !!!Maybe I cannot be admitted, but at least I learn a new skill! @su_nayana No need to worry so much!!! There is a quote said by my teacher, I also experienced a period that feeling stressful before I submitted my application, she told me no need to worry so such, if it is yours, it is yours, if it is not yours, it is not yours. After hearing her sincere words, I feel relaxed!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, when I went through it, I hoped @El pichichi's prophecy was right. But given the break you mentioned, they either notifies us within the next two days OR in mid-January.

Maeva Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hi Guys, Does your follow up page shows sections that read: - conditions - other conditions fixed by the committee - accommodation decision ? Mine does when I open the page, but they disappear after about 20 seconds and the page goes back to "normal" with the regular sections. Anyone noticed the same thing ?

Erminia_LL Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 @Maeva, they show up on my follow-up module too, and then disappear pretty quickly. I believe it is a matter of HTML code once again, which does not mean anything, according to what the others said above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like IHEID did intend to send out decisions for early applicants in early December originally (that was written on the application page initially, and if you read their Q&As, it's still written 'mid-December'). But I guess perhaps there were simply more early applicants this year, or they have something else to occupy themselves with in these months, that's why they changed it to mid-January. If there was a choice, I'd love to hear back from them in the coming two days though! Did you guys apply to other schools? Or is IHEID your first and only choice?

Maeva Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 @Erminia_LL Yeah, i don't believe it means anything either. Thanks ! @haru_ko IHEID is my only choice abroad. You ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erminia_LL Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 IHEID is my first choice, but I have a couple of backup plans - though none of them is even close to the Graduate Institute, as far as I am concerned. The good part is that these schools have later deadlines compared to IHEID, so I have quite some time to think about them. What about you guys?

shirley_xie Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 The same goes to me, IHEID is my top choice, but I also applied three universities in UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taeyeon Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 For me, IHEID is the only school I've applied to this year. It's mostly because other universities I would consider either: 1) don't offer sufficient scholarships (I need at least 100% of tuition fee + at least partial living costs to afford a graduate education), 2) require at least 2 years of work experience, or 3) have no alternatives to TOEFL/IELTS scores. Though the lame part is, I was looking through the Swiss student visa requirements and you have to have a TOEFL score anyway... It'd be great if I make it into IHEID, because compared to larger universities in English-speaking countries, smaller campuses like this are easier to navigate and administration procedures are much simpler. But if not, I have a wider selection of schools I want to apply to next year. Though I nearly get a headache just thinking of all the papers a US or Canadian university would require!

haru_ko Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) @Maeva I submitted 3 applications for now (got an offer from Sciences Po), and may apply to more depending on whether I got offers from other schools. @taeyeon I'm currently studying in Switzerland as an international student. But when I applied for my visa, I didn't need to submit English test scores (I didn't have to either when I applied to my Swiss university because I have an International Baccalaureate diploma). @shirley_xie Which UK unis did you apply to?

shirley_xie Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 The three UK universities that I applied for are University of Bristol (accepted), University of Durham(waiting), and University of St. Andrews (rejected). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
su_nayana Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 I have only applied to IHEID a.t.m ..... interested in the interdisciplinary program right now. If I don't get in I'll probably work a few years and apply for an LLM In international law/ human rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also applying to a few UK universities, but I haven't finished the applications... Would you consider attending University of Bristol though? (which course there?) I personally do think that amongst your choices, studying at IHEID would be the most exciting experiences. So fingers crossed for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirley_xie Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 @haru_ko, thanks!!!! Best luck for your application too!!! Actually my major is neither political science nor social science, but all the courses I applied for are in related to international relations!! For University of Bristol, I applied their MSc International Relations programme. Definitely!!!! I do agree with you, studying at IHEID is the most earnest dream of every members in this group!!! If I am rejected by IHEID, I will accept the UK uni offer as I have found out I am really into studying this complex world, especially regarding racial conflicts.

Erminia_LL Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Did anyone else have a heart attack after receiving an e-mail from IHEID this morning - which was NOT about an update of our application status but about the 2016 Geneva Challenge?
