Notes
This was the one of the seven major international relations/public policy program I didn't get into. I fortunately got into Yale's fully funded program, so I'm not too let down. Five years of work experience post-grad and advanced fluency in three foreign languages. Those who were accepted or waitlisted got their notification on Tuesday, March 11 while the rest got it a day later. It's the only school I applied for that does that. I wish they would reconsider how they release the decisions separately and leave most people on edge for 24 hours. Just rip the Band-aid off, Princeton!
