First, a couple of reminders:
1. Our next online information session is set for Wednesday, November 28 at 5 pm Italy time (1600 GMT). We'll be posting details next week on how to connect. If you're interested in attending and want the details sent to you by email, drop a line to admissions@jhubc.it.
2. The deadline for applications to SAIS is Monday, January 7, 2013. Remember that you can start your online application, save it and come back to it later. You do not have to complete it in one sitting. It's a good idea to start it early so your thoughts have time to germinate.
On the application, you'll be asked if you want to start your studies in Bologna or DC, or if you are open to starting at either campus. Your chances of being admitted are the same, regardless of your answer. The important thing is to consider carefully where you'd like to start. If you are genuinely open to either campus, then that choice would be the right one.
Now, a few words on this journal itself.
