They don't answer between 12-2 PM Geneva Time. Lunch time is dear to people in France and Switzerland. They will probably not send at all or just announce before going home. Patience!

I called before lunch time.... and we all love our lunch time ?

'Patience'! What? Who? Where?? ?

Two hour lunch break? Starting work at 9 and ending at 5.30? This would be a huge wow! for me, if that's the the only thing they do.

But most likely we are talking about some grad students trying to make some bucks on the side.

Guys! 

Let me say this now, irrespective of our results! 

You guys have been such a huge support from past couple of months, and especially this past week when the wait became a torture. 

Coming here on the forum, reading your posts, has been such a relief. Not to mention the solidarity that I feel. 

Thank you so much!

It is true in Switzerland that they take very seriously workers rights. Pretty much all shops are shut on sunday and during the week almost everything is closed by 7 pm so that workers have time for their families.

So it certainly wouldn't surprise me if they did in fact have a 2 hour lunch break.

thanks for the info Akansha,

as Vivere said,

thanks for the posts and comments,

all of you were a great help.

I don't think I'll go to IHEID this year (going to apply for another major next year)

but still, it was a nice experience ^_^

Oh, come on, people. Why the hurry? I kind of like the uncertainty. 

 I would prefer to be evaluated on the basis of substance, not numbers alone.

When you are in a hurry, i imagine, you tend to focus on the numbers only because they are easy to compare - the actual merit of the candidates goes in the background. 

My point is, I am OK with the waiting and I think it is for the better. Let them take their time.

Good luck to you all.

Hi guys, so I have been a silent spectator for a while now. Thought it will be good to post my MDev application decision since I have been following this forum since long. My followup shows that I have been admitted, but my scholarship request has been refused. I don't know whether I can realistically attend without the scholarship, but I am at least happy that I have been accepted. Good luck to the rest of you.

When did you receive your decision?

have you looked for other sources of funding (scholarships/loans)?

Hey! Sorry for the typo, someone else got accepted and posted their results so I was talking about that. 

I haven't gotten my result yet.
