It looks like I did not gain admittance to any Ph.D program for this cycle, but I received acceptance letters from CSU Chico and CSU Long Beach. I am still waiting for CSULA. For those of you who are familiar with the CSU system, which CSU would you suggest I attend? My goal is to apply to a Ph.D program right after I earn my Master's degree in Political Science. I researched the following schools to see if they had information on their students entering Ph.D. programs, but I am unable to find much information, so I thought it would be best if I asked here. Thanks!

Does it matter where I go for my Master's? I'm planning to attend a CSU college in California to earn my Master's before applying to the PhD program again.

Well, it looks like I was officially rejected from all the PhD programs I applied for. I e-mailed an assistant and they told me that my stats were slightly lower than the average admitted applicant. I didn't exactly plan for this, so for those of you in similar positions, what are you planning to do?

Thanks! I'm planning to do that now, but being as anxious as I am, I'm figuring out what to say :-/ Any help might be appreciated seeing that I don't want to screw this up...

Hi, I still haven't received a reply back from some schools I've applied for, while others have already received replies back. Would it be recommended to e-mail the graduate director to check the status of my application? If so, what would be a good way to phrase the e-mail? For example, should I mention the professor I hope to work with? Thanks!

I still haven't received a response from UC Santa Cruz, and I'm not sure if I'm on the waitlist or not, so are any of you planning to reject UC Santa Cruz's offer? Thanks so much.

I haven't received a response back from UC Santa Cruz. Does anyone have any details?

I still haven't heard back from UC Santa Cruz. Any news on this?

Well...just got rejected from Irvine. Wow, this hurts. I'm not even sure what I'm planning to do anymore. I also got rejected from Davis. I'm waiting to hear back from Santa Cruz, but it doesn't seem too likely because it seems like they've already sent out all their acceptances.

Any news from UCSC? The application status page tells me that admission decisions will be sent out throughout the month of March, but it looks like some people were accepted already.

I thought someone was already rejected, and I also read that those who are "being reviewed" are on the waitlist. I think it's about time for me to stop checking GATS.

I looked at the results page and it said that some people received a waitlisted e-mail from Irvine already? Blah...I am stressing myself way too much. Best of luck to you!

Really? Your roommate just got rejected recently, right? It looks like they might be rolling out rejections? How stressful... Well, this gives me hope!

Hm...mine still says "under review" for Irvine...

Is Santa Cruz out? I saw someone posting their decision. I haven't received mine. Wow...this is starting to hurt.
