Having a difficult time deciding between my two options: Univeristy of north Texas and Wisconsin Milwaukee. Funding is equal. Anyone have any advice or suggestions? Could use all the help I can get

Whelp this update is no help to me. Deciding between two programs and they are ranked exactly the same lol.

I never recieved a rejection from the PhD program but got the MA. I just double checked my application and there was no slot to ask to be considered for the MA. Its very odd how they did this. Especially without a better explanation on the letter. On a differnt note, being in MSU and UNC limbo is driving me crazy. Would be happy to get some positive news before the end of the day. I'd settle for positive news by the end of the week though.

Yes I was a little angry about that one becasue I also did not apply for the MA

I dont think it is a mistake. I got the same letter from Binghamton last week saying I got into the MA program. I called/emailed and after a long waiting period they told me that they I was accepted to the MA program not the Phd program. I would still call and confirm it though if I were you.

Thanks for the insight. I think I can wait unti Thursday to get the final word.

So it would seem that Michigan State has sent out a series of acceptances and rejections, but I have not received any news yet. Not sure where I stand there. Does anyone have any insight onto how they conduct their admission process. Do they conduct their admissions in waves? Wondering if I have any reason to think theres still a chance. Any ideas?

I have not heard from UNC either.

Is anyone still waiting to hear back from UNC? You all think they are done and sending out reject notifications?

Hey ahandphd did it say you got in the MA or phd program? I got a message from them earlier today, but it said I was admitted to the MA program. That was weird since I did not apply to the MA. Was wondering if you had the same issue.

According to last years results Michigan State was supposed to be much earlier in the process and SUNY Binghampton was supposed to send out results last week. I would not be suprised if either of them started next week. Obviously these are the two I am still waiting on. Well that and UNC but I have no idea what they are doing.

I am glad you all have brought this up because I was thinking the same thing the other day when I checked it. I rarely go to that website and for good reason. I feel this is a far more constructive and helpful place to get info.

What about Michigan State? I am very surprised they have not come out with decisions by now. Thought they would be one of the first I'd hear from. Anyone have some inside knowledge on them?

I'm looking at Binghamton for American judicial politics

Hey finally another Binghamton person on this board. For a while I thought I was the only one applying there. Hopefully we will hear something from them soon!

Congrats to UNC admits. Is it safe to assume all of these are IR people?

Well than I guess I should be hoping for a phone call before the end of the day.... Minnesota was one of my top choices.

I'm also a waiting Pitt applicant, but no word yet. Has anyone heard anything about Michigan State? I saw that there was one acceptance from them today.

I applied to Pittsburgh, but I have not heard anything from them yet. I checked back to last year and I think they got around to sending acceptances early February.

My admittance to North Texas was official. They emailed me the PDF of my acceptance letter January 11th.

That is what I was thinking as well. Originally I thought I would have to wait until March to start hearing back, but I have heard back from one already. I have heard similar things about programs getting back sometime soon/around February.

When do you think we should be realistically expecting responses? First week in February at the earliest?

Thanks! The North Texas thing was me. Was excited and suprised to hear back from a program so quickly. Good luck to everyone else.
