Harrisite Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 In, no funding. Pretty happy with the acceptance though, considering the lack of prestige of my undergrad school and my lack of work experience. Congrats everyone! Student007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to Georgetown, GWU, American, Texas, and Denver also. The only way I'll turn down SAIS is if Georgetown offers a lot of money which is unlikely.

Accepted but with no funding.. will have to figure this part out. I'm awaiting decision from one from School in the UK before I take the final decision.

BluffIR Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Accepted to MIEF and their MA program in DC. Received a $30K fellowship for MIEF but I have not yet received anything for the MA. A quant-focused 11 month program is very enticing so I'm extremely excited for the funding. Is anyone else considering MIEF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie666 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Admitted into Bologna! Excited to know getting in but still want to switch campus. Anyone knows info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebula Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 In general, I know people can ask for more funding. However, if you haven't received any at all, can you still email to try to get more? (I'm sure a lot of people who receive funding turn it down) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also said that ~50% of 2nd year students receive some kind of funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elby_Arr3876 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hey guys, quick question for everyone who didn't get funding: are you going to go for it anyway? I got in at GWU with a nice little fellowship... but nothing at SAIS. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it and if anyone else is going for gold despite almost six figures of debt :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it and if anyone else is going for gold despite almost six figures of debt :/ I'm in the same boat here. Got into SAIS and SIPA but no funding for either. I emailed an appeal to SAIS financial aid but i'm not holding my breath for that to go anywhere. I have every intention of going to SAIS because it's a kick ass program and I feel like I'm more likely to get a job after graduating that will allow me to at least make minimum payments on a huge amount of student loans, but the question is... is it doable to take out enough federal loans to cover full tuition and cost of living in DC? I have very, very little money saved and I'm pulling minimum wage with no help from my family. Anyone have some insight based on past experiences with large amounts of loans?

paradc Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 For those who did receive aid, does anyone know if we're able to ask for more/ if people in the past have been successful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was admitted in December and received some aid. I asked for little more, but didn't get any. I'm not sure if that is a common result, but it was my experience.

turkish coffee Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Just rejected my acceptance to sais (didn't get funding) for a full ride at another school. Good luck to waitlisted folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkish coffee Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 @YunaCamel Thank you so much! I got a full ride for the Ford School's MPP program at the University of Michigan. I'm happy; they are not an IR program but they have a ton of faculty that are interested in international policy. They have a former diplomat who teaches there permanently and a Diplomat in Residence as well. Sad that I won't be in DC, but I think my career will take me there in the future. Best of luck to you with your grad school decision and pursuits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS- Tz Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hello everyone, Is anyone who's already been accepted to the MA program put on IDEV wait list ? Curious? Additionally is there an FB/ linkedin forum for accepted candidates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The membership has continued growing today, so I think the invites are still going out. Make sure your Facebook email is linked to your application email.

nuhanzi Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Anybody else accepted to the Hopkins Nanjing Center Certificate + SAIS MA 5 semester option? Got $50k fellowship for total program here. Is more than I was offered from Fletcher and Elliott ($28k) and SIPA (nothing, ha). Waiting to hear from Georgetown, but this was my top choice. Barring some huge surprise, my decision will be an easy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
