Our candidates have submitted their applications. They are now looking to the next steps.
Here is a rough calendar going forward:
We are receiving lots of questions about three topics in particular: transcripts, interviews and financial aid.
TRANSCRIPTS
Each candidate should have arranged to have their undergraduate institution send us an official copy of their transcript.
The transcript can be sent in one of two ways:
1740 Massachusetts Ave, NW
Washington, DC 20036
USA
For more information on transcripts, consult the application instructions.
Keep in mind that an application is not complete and cannot be acted upon by the Admissions Committee until an official copy of the candidate's undergraduate transcript is received.
INTERVIEWS
We will be contacting non-U.S. candidates to SAIS Bologna in coming days to set up interviews with members of the Admissions Committee. The Committee is composed of senior faculty and staff.
Most interviews are conducted over the phone or via Skype. One faculty member or staff member will conduct each interview. We will be holding face-to-face interviews in a number of cities in Europe and in New York and Washington, DC.
We've written quite a bit over the past two years on interviews, emphasizing that they are an opportunity for candidates to put their best foot forward. If you want more information, you might want to read these posts:
- Seeing how you think
- Interviews: the home stretch
- Your interview
Please keep in mind that there is no advantage to doing the interview in person, over the phone or via Skype. In each case the applicant has the opportunity to strengthen their candidacy.
FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid requests are due by February 15. Here are the forms:
- For non-U.S. candidates to SAIS Bologna
- For U.S. candidates to SAIS Bologna
Supporting documents are also due by February 15.
We have written quite a bit about financial aid, too, over the past two years. Here are some of the posts:
- Financial aid
- The cost of graduate school: Investing in your future
- Spending wisely
As always, if you have questions, drop a line to admissions@jhubc.it.
