Is there anyone who got offer from PSIA, in particular except for MDP?
Now I am annoyed which school I should enroll, PSIA or LSE or UCL.

Hi, did you hear back from PSIA and LSE already? If so what program did you apply to? I applied for Dev management and I'm still waiting.
My (French) cousin is applying this year! She's been doing loads of preparation classes during the holidays all year I feel so sorry for her :frown: Apparently it's extremely competitive so good luck!

Hello everyone! I've just begun applying for SciencesPo, I am an undergraduate international student. It was said on ScPo website that two academical recommendations are necessary and the third one may be added. However, I cannot find a way to add the third referee on my admissions page. Perhaps you know how it is possible to do it? Thanks for any help! :smile:


So I added three referees for my application. See even after you add two referees from the main dashboard page, go to the page which mentions your personal detail and then add one more referee from their. I can't explain more than this. I sincerely hope this can help even a lil bit.

I didn't have a GPA thing. Though my % was among top 10 students in the university. I didn't have work ex as such but I had various internships and volunteer opportunities.

My GPA was 3.8 and I do have years of work experience but it was quite unrelated to the program I was admitted to nevertheless I spinned it by saying that I have a lot of transferable skills. But I did have relevant volunteering opportunities to make up for it.

Hi everyone.

I am in the application process for the Master in Economics and Business. Did anyone get in yet?.

Does anybody know if the referee factor in the application is really important? I mean, I have added the referees, but what if they don't respond to the evaluation form that they receive?. will Sciences Po then look at the recommendation letter that they wrote then?
And also, how did you guys figure out how much you have to pay in tuition fee? I mean it depends on how much the parents earns, right?

Sorry for the questions, but really have no idea so hope you can help.
Thanks

The referees are really important as they can attest to a candidate's strenghts and they can really say things you cannot say about yourself. I think they should complete the form and upload their recommendation. I'm not sure whether one can be done without the other since I'm not a referee and did not see that side of the application process.

As for tuition fees either you are a EU citizen and you pay a lower tuition or you are international and you pay through the nose so to speak. Now your financial situation does come into play but I do suggest you look at their bursaries and financial aid page to guide you

Dear offer-holders,

Please teach me whether admission office of SciencesPo send to PAPER offer letter.
I only received e mail saying I am admitted to enter PSIA, but I need formal paper offer letter to prove my status toward the public organization which give me scholarship.

Best,
Gakuzo

hello ! I think with your experiences you will get admission! I only did 1 internship in Donor organization but several interpretation experiences with Ministry of foreign affairs of my country, and as a media supervisor at world energy conference last year. I had enough motivation why I wanted to study International development field and I think it was convincing on my personal statement. It was 2 page long, and I wrote in English :smile:
