HO-LEE CRAP!!!! (Grad School Update)



March 20, 2009

Dear Mr. Zumbado:

I hope this message finds you well.


The Admissions Committee for the Security Studies Program (SSP) has completed its review of your application. The committee has recommended your admission to the Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. You will soon receive a letter pending a final review of general admissions requirements. This is a routine step preceding full or conditional admission to the SSP.

Decisions on SSP merit-based aid will be communicated in the next two weeks. In the meantime, information on student loans, grants, and other Georgetown funding opportunities is available from the Office of Student Financial Services:

The SSP website is also an excellent tool for more information on our events, faculty, students, and careers. The site is located here:

http://ssp.georgetown.edu/

Finally, I would like to invite you to attend the SSP’s Visiting Day on Wednesday, April 8, 2009, from 12 noon to 4 p.m. You will have the opportunity to learn more about the program by meeting faculty and students, taking a campus tour, and attending an SSP class. Additional information will be emailed as the event approaches.

While I cannot offer my congratulations until Dean Barbari formally approves your admission, I am pleased you are considering the SSP for your graduate degree. The SSP is a dynamic and exciting environment for students from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds. I look forward to welcoming you to this exceptional community in the fall.

Best regards.

Daniel L. Byman

Director, Security Studies Program

Director, Center for Peace and Security Studies

So, ummm Georgetown like D.C. Georgetown? We're an hour from D.C. Let us help you in your move with whatever we can. We even have room for you guys to stay here for a few days if need be during the move.
I'll tell John the news . . . that is, if you're going to accept and move here. He'll be excited.
More all night gaming parties!!!
