Sciences Po PSIA Applications for 2016 Entry

^ Change the settings of the group, can't find it, make it public : ) !

Hey, I made the Facebook group! If you search "Sciences Po PSIA - Accepted (2016)", you should be able to find it. I tried to post the link earlier, but TSR wouldn't let me.

Right now the group is private, but I can make it public if that is preferred.

Just been accepted to the Human Rights and Humanitarian Action programme also! I'm so relieved, and elated.

Hi guys . I know that someone has been asking about the email with the ID number and password necessary for accepting the offer. Just to let you know, I was admitted in the mid of December (Internatinal Security) and received the email just a few hours ago so it probably really takes them around 1 month to send it. Lovely beginning of 2016 to all of you and big congratulations to those newly admitted .

Hi guys!

I´ve just submitted my application for the international security program. I´ve been wondering, as all of us, what my chances are and I would be very happy to hear your opinions.. I´m currently doing my Master´s degree in international relations and I spent one semester at PSIA, my academic results are quite good, I have two recommendations from the professors teaching at sciences po, however I think they are only invited, not permanent ones..but I don´t have so many experience related to the int.security.. I have one internship that included also participation in organizing an international security conference and few short internships..However, I took part in a summer school of energetics and I would like to choose int. energy as my thematic conentration, so I hope this experience would help a little as well..and congratulations to all that got admitted! it has to be a great feeling

thanks ín advance for your replies!

I think your internship/workshop experience, as well as the semester abroad programme you spent at Sciences Po, would definitely put you at an advantage. This being said, I do think at least one of your recommendations (be it academic or professional) should come from teacher/employer outside of Sciences Po, because I know that if you're applying through the international online procedure, Sciences Po places great emphasis on recruiting students from outside/foreign institutions, as part of their recent policy to infuse a more international student body within the traditionally 'elitist' native French student body.

I can definitely understand the restlessness of post-submission second-guessing. I went through all that not too long ago. It took me close to a month (not counting the Christmas holiday) after I submitted my application to get the admit mail. Not sure how long it would take in your case, but good luck !

Below is a link for Sciences Po's admissions criteria. You might be able to evaluate the strength of your dossier against it:

Good luck !

Thank you very much!! I´ll see, there´s nothing I can do about it now, only wait and congrats!! what program are you going to?

Hi all, joining the thread here.
I also received the "admissible" e-mail today. It means that they have gone through all the docs you've submitted, ensuring that nothing was missing.
Essentially, they are confirming with you that all your docs are in order and the application file will be sent to the Selection Committee to review (final stage before receiving an admission decision).

For those of you who have already received an admission result, could you please let me know when you heard back regarding the Emile Boutmy scholarship?

Many thanks!
