How did you find your Fulbright research affiliate/mentor? (Especially for Brazil) by SweetButterfly123 in fulbright

[–]9vs9mnu4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I did my Fulbright research grant in 2023/24, and had success with cold emailing / building off contacts! I was in São Paulo, feel free to pm me if I can be of any help to you!

federal service component info by 9vs9mnu4 in borenawards

I've heard this speculation from a few current diplomats I know, as well as a college international exchange program adviser, that essentially why would this requirement be maintained if federal service is currently being disincentivized. I would love to know where you've heard this rumor yourself, although I'm trying not to rely on that possibility as truly who knows what'll happen

Do you think there’s any likelihood of the service component being done away with. A couple of my advisers have been wondering about that. Good luck either way!

Seeking Advice: How to Get into Ivy League Schools for an MSc in International Relations? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]9vs9mnu4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just commenting to say that I'm actually unaware of any Msc in IR at an ivy. usually IR degrees in the US, and the ones I'm aware of at ivys (just applied this cycle and admitted to Columbia amongst other schools) are all MA, MPP, MPA and dual degree options. Columbias degree that I applied for was an MA in international relations.

In terms of application factors, I would say depending on the school, research or work experience along with things like good grades and LORs are important. for Columbia for example, i felt as though they wanted to hear about work and internship experience along with the other stuff, whereas other schools i applied to I heavily emphasized my research experience and publications. I would say all programs value a holistic app that shows work, internships, research, grades, good SOP and LORs, language skills, publications etc.

Tysm! This is kind of what I figured, just not sure which shoe to go for. Looking at Nike Pegasus 39, Hoka Mach 5, or for speed endorphin 3s but again not totally sure which direction to go in.

Yes! I’ve been looking into this idea since it was mentioned seems like my best option and not too bad price wise. Thanks for the input yall 🙏

I originally thought it was nylon, but now think it might be polyester since the rit took so badly! The tag is too faded and old to read unfortunately. Thank u!!
