panameboss Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 @jasper8625 how long did it take you to hear back from Sciences Po? I submitted my app like 3 weeks ago and am just trying to gauge when they might make a decision.

I submitted my app like 3 weeks ago and am just trying to gauge when they might make a decision. Submitted the admission in late December, around Dec 22 I think. So about 10 weeks for me, but I think it will be much faster for you since all the applications are nearly announced now so the committee would probably have a look at yours faster than mine.
fernandomli Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Hi guys. I am trying not to panic, but in this link there are two people saying they got results today, in interdisciplinary courses. http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=IHEID&t=a&o=i&pp=50
Palolem Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 There are more than 2 people, actually...This is weird. Scroll down, you'll see more 2017 results.

You are right, it seems they all happened between Friday and today. One person is saying they called to give the results, which is odd. They all seem to be rejections, though.

So you could be accepted but receive no scholarship, and you could also be accepted and receive some financial help? Do they necessarily match up to your financial needs?

SantiagoA Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Some said that they received more applicants this years, which made them to reduce the acceptance rate. I did not get any email, and I do not want to check the website.

Akansha Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Ummm.. I had contacted the admissions committee and was told we should start anticipating the results anytime later this week. Also yes, we immediately get an email once the portal is updated. But this new thing that has surfaced stressed me out wayyy tooo mucchhhhh .. they usually don't do that, wtf?!!? we all hear back together, right? Also, they have been rejecting really good profiles!!!! I STAND NO CHANCE!
SantiagoA Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I contacted them the last week, and they told me that results will be released on wednesday...But this it is stressing!

SantiagoA Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Is it true that they prefer Americans and French speakers? All those that were rejected are international. Edited March 13, 2017 by SantiagoA
Akansha Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 "I am actually pretty shocked! I wonder who got in then? Not to be cocky but I have 3 First Author Publications along with respected Professors who also gave me glowing recommendations. Plus 2 years working experience at UNICEF" After this, i really don't know.
ediypzy Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I gathered from some of the respondents that IHEID prefers French speakers. Not too sure about the Americans part. Honestly if they have such a preference and choose to reject me based on that, it wouldn't hurt a single bit not to be part of such an institution. panameboss 1

I have not authored anything with anyone other than my own thesis Let's hope the affirmative action part ( diversity quota ) saves us.

fernandomli Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 There are 7 rejections so far, 6 of which were posted today. Let's hope they left all approvals for tomorrow! This is just cruel: once they know who was rejected, they know who was approved too, so they could simply send out all results. I am trying to ignore the fact that the rejected profiles look better than mine... PriyankaS 1

If that guy with 4 published papers and 2 masters didn't get in then I can't imagine what my chances are. At least I fit the American and French speaking criteria (if that really exists) EDIT: maybe they thought he was overqualified or something lol Edited March 13, 2017 by panameboss

I hope they need more people from BRICS countries!
Scorpion Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Hey everyone, I have been reading your posts all along, and I can relate to your anxiousness, especially when few of the applications have already met rejections, and we have less than 48 hours to have our decisions. Let's hope for the best! May we all have what we deserve. MDEV Applicant. Edited March 13, 2017 by scorpion
