After reading these messages and not getting a letter, I called SIS yesterday. I submitted my app early Jan, they said I should have heard back by now. I asked if I could have a decision by email, they said I could email but it's more likely for me to get a decision via mail than for someone there to reply to my email, as they are backed up.

Official acceptance came today by postal mail, but I live in Beijing so I had already gotten a response by email from the program director.The date on the letter is March 13th. Still no funding information though :( does anyone know when that will arrive?

I just checked the website randomly, and it was posted

I haven't even received an email yet. But YAY!!! I'm sky-high with excitement.

Listen, don't worry. It's not over til it's over. If it makes you feel better- despite the fact that I can see that, I still think it's a fluke because I've emailed them twice, with no response back, and I checked my mail twice, still no letter. :/

To both: First person: I just emailed SIS so hopefully I get a response back as quickly as you! Congratulations on getting in :D Second person, the area we're talking about is under "Event Registration" - it'll say SIS Grad Day or something along those lines- and then show you all the cities, and where, what time and date the receptions are located and you can click "register now" and it'll send you a confirmation email back. It'll then show up in your Events section once you're registered. Good luck!

To the person below me- thanks for responding- I'm glad I'm not the only one! at least you got an email saying it was sent. I called and they gave me some cryptic response like, some have been sent, some are still being sent.. and to wait it out. I keep hoping the fact that we had to enter our screennames and passwords and see the SIS Grad Day event in our Events means something. .

I haven't gotten an official letter, and when I emailed for to receive my emailed decision (I was abroad for two weeks) I got nothing- but I CAN register online for the admitted students reception when I go into my online portal- I registered for the NYC one and got a confirmation email back. Does anyone know if that's a clear indicator that I got in? I tried calling but they won't give me my decision via phone and it seems as though pretty much everyone received official letters by now, whether rejected or accepted..

no info on funding...

Applied to PhD program, but it was canceled due to $$ problems. Offered acceptance to MA program. Scholarship info to come. Max $$ = half tuition

No funding. :(

Said I could apply for some fellowships and such

I just received an email from the head of the program replying to my inquiry from Monday. My letter should be in the mail, she told me, but she wanted to unofficially welcome me to the program. EEEE!

Sent out an email warning me that some programs, like mine, are taking longer than the 3/15 date originally given to make decisions. Lame!

Hall of Nations Award (tuition waiver + stipend) plus offer of Assistantship with further stipend :)

Nobody gets in this year! Curse you, Bernie Madoff! Refunding application fee at least.

Rather unexpected. Straight out of undergrad with zero work experience and low GRE scores. Very happy, though;)

Letter dated 03/06/2009. No funding.
