SAIS Bologna candidates are understandably getting itchy as they await the outcome of their applications to study here in 2012-13.
Here are the next steps in the process for non-U.S. candidates (U.S. candidates, who are handled by the DC Admissions Office, have already been contacted):
- Faculty and staff on the SAIS Bologna Admissions Committee have been interviewing candidates and reviewing the dossiers. Their work is about over. The committee will meet next week to take its admissions decisions. We hope to communicate those decisions to all candidates by Friday, April 6.
Some important details such as financial aid grants, economics or English language requirements and admission to the International Development concentration may have to wait a few more days. We are aware that some candidates will be facing deadlines from other programs, and we want to make sure they have time to take the best decision.
We are planning two events to answer any questions from admitted candidates and to enable them to know us better:
1. an online Q&A session planned for April 25;
2. Open House at SAIS Bologna on May 3&4.
We'll be circulating more details on these events later.
- There are two separate deadlines for admitted non-U.S. candidates to matriculate:
May 9 for candidates offered financial aid;
May 16 for all other candidates
- The summer online Principles of Economics course for any incoming students who have not satisfied both the introductory micro and introductory macro requirements starts on May 23.
- The deadline for registering for the SAIS Bologna pre-term is July 2. The pre-term session will run this year from August 27 to September 19.
The pre-term session in Washington will run from July 30 to August 25. The deadline for registering for the DC session is June 29.
If you are a candidate awaiting the Admissions Committee's decision, why not use the next few days to make a mental note of what you've learned during the process? It could end up helping you in the future.
