Zaksh Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Hi all, just wondering if anyone here has applied for fall 2016 masters in international relations or similar programs. Few early notification deadlines like sais, sipa and fletcher have already passed so I was wondering if anyone had started to hear back for interviews or next steps. thanks!

Guest SIPA_MPA18 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I applied to SIPA Early Action...I was hoping to hear back this week since it seems notifications went out prior to Thanksgiving in previous years, but I got nothing. Maybe by December 1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StyLeD Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Best of luck to everyone in this thread applying for Fall 2016 IR programs! And especially to anyone considering SIPA I just received my university email & ID today. My parents are already clamoring for t-shirts and sweatshirts; they never asked me for university sportswear during my undergrad. Hm ): ): ): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted the admissions office and they said that people who are applying for Fall will receive the notifications late Dec. or early January. They've said the same thing on their blog.

Zaksh Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 woah congrats of getting through both SIPA and Fletcher. Anybody hear back from John Hopkins SAIS yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyuvi Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I believe Fletcher starts releasing decision by Dec 18th or so and SIPA does the same towards the end of the year. I am quite nervous and anxious about the decisions myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbalex Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hi, Has anyone recieved a decision from SIPA for the MIA program? I know the decisions will be announced by January 1st but I can't help getting obsessive about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lxwind Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I got a defer from SIPA. Does anyone know what it means and what the chances are in the general round? Just about to panic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaksh Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hi, I got in SIPA, Tufts Fletcher and SAIS (year in Europe and a year in DC) and I am extremely excited! Still waiting for funding results etc though. If the financial costs of SIPA, Fletcher and SAIS end up being more or less equal, which is the better school of the 3? I aspire to work at a UN agency (UNHCR hopefully)...and I am an international student so not biased towards any particular state within the US... Can anybody assist with this please? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! You could get there through any of the three, to be honest. Not as familiar with Fletcher but SIPA is known to have a lot of UN connections--not sure to what extent this is exaggerated or how much effort you actually have to put in to get them. Also, I suggest you repost this in the government affairs forum, as more people will be able to answer your question there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
