It will be difficult to decide since I cannot easily disregard SIPA's location nor its seemingly limitless classes and faculty. What are your thoughts? Are you planning to attend any open houses?

For the same reasons, i'm still not sure what to choose yet. not to mention good faculty members and geographical advantages, both schools seem to provide a number opportunities for internships and future career after graduation. I'm interested in working for int'l org and UN internship is definitely one of the things i wanna try out during the study. Guess the biggest difference would be the class size. I really wanna attend open houses, but since I'm in Seoul, Korea now, not totally sure yet. What about you? Are you planning to attend? oh and did you get any funding from both schools? Funding is another issue for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kp_jabalí Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 For those waitlisted for funding--does anyone know if there's any benefit to accepting MSFS now vs. holding out until after April 20th to weigh another offer? Any insight as to how the MSFS funding waitlist is handled? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSFS Admissions sent an email to outline the funding waitlist process - basically, those offered funding have up to 23 Apr to accept/decline the offer, and if any money frees up, they start contacting people on the waitlist.

I know that, I'm just wondering if there's any strategy for funding waitlisters to accept MSFS now or to wait? In other words, I'm curious as to how the waitlist is handled if/when funding frees up and whether holding out makes you more or less likely to receive funding off the waitlist? I'm assuming this is hard to determine, just curious to know if there's a strategy either way before I move forward. I've been told by admissions that the funding waitlist is unranked but it has got to be ordered in some way to reach out to a select number of folks if/when the time comes.

No, I ultimately accepted the MSFS offer and declined my other outstanding offer at SIPA. Edited April 24, 2017 by kp_jabalí Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
