speaking of which - do you guys think cornell is done?? i've not heard anything from them, rejection or otherwise...

Yes, I'd like more info as well even though I suppose I don't really have a choice. Subfield is IR, but I'd rather not put down research interests for the sake of anonymity... That's actually quite interesting. I was told not to reach out to POIs, and I did not do it. In fact, I was told it could harm my application because some profs get really annoyed with eager undergrads sending hundreds of emails...

This is true for me as well. I haven't heard anything else officially about penn, although a professor did email me afterwards. I'll likely be attending the weekend!

is it normal to be emailed by a professor who was not a POI? i received an email from a prof in a research area that is, in fact, quite far from mine. a bit confused...

ouch. guess its time to move on

hoping you're right that IR isn't out yet and that the sagan call was false. condolences to the uchicago and cornell casualties... they don't know what they're missing! perhaps there will be more happy news to come this afternoon or next week.

congrats on harvard!! how exciting. Called stanford a few days ago, but i don't think the grad administrator plans on ever picking up the phone... so I've just been glaring at my phone and hoping that it will ring. Hopeful on the one hand because only americanists have claimed acceptances, right? Yet there have been so many on the results board already + the scott sagan call, i wonder if all this hope is in vain...

Ughhhh keeping the hope alive some more!!! Stanford is slowly killing me lol

new Stanford admits care to share subfields?

thanks! keeping the hope alive.

Anyone still hoping for Stanford? Just me? Sigh.

stanford admits, was sniderman your POI? or is he just calling all the admits? crossing my fingers that it is the former, but sniderman calling 3 people seems like an awful lot for one prof...

happy for you!!! congrats X 10000

maybe they got called last night like the other admits on the result search, but didn't post it until now? dunno. i'm all doom and gloom these days.

Well this has been the most unpleasant mid-morning surprise ever. i must say, those stats do not bode well for my humble courtship with the school of my dreams.
