  1. For those of you who have heard from CIR, was it by email? And has your status on the application checker changed at all?
  2. Yeah saw that. Any way we can obsessively check our status or do we just have to sit and wait?
  3. That was technically to the MA program and I got an email in December (I think - either that or early January can't remember) I had indicated that I was applying for the fall but I think they took my early submission to mean the Spring (which apparently happens often). Sorry I can't help more!
  4. Yeah that was me - I had called the department on Tuesday last week and they said either by the end of that week or early next week. Then I got an email response to the email I had sent a few days earlier and she said the absolute latest we'll hear is the 28th.... So either way it'll be sometime this week....
  5. Agreed on all fronts! Congrats though! Mind me asking your subfield?
  6. My rejection was up on the Apply yourself page this morning - I haven't checked the gratdstatus one
  7. I had a minor heart attack when I saw that post thinking "oh goodness, there are still spots!" but it seems they got the email on the 14th so same as others :/
  8. My dad, who is the chair of a polisci department, says that often times these schools that do the waves of rejections are waiting to figure out if they'll be able to fund one or two more. It's also possible that they're figuring out their waitlists. UVa is the classic example: they send out three or four acceptances for the fellowship nominations and once they have the results of that and some responses form the applicants, they return to the pile to see who else they can afford funding for. I still think it's hugely inefficient to do it this way, especially since they all know about grad cafe, buuuut I guess I sorta get it...
