Oh wow- I would assume this is good news- I highly doubt they would call you if you didn't have a chance of being accepted! But, that's just my highly un-scientific opinion. Now you've added voicemail to the list of things I must check religiously, haha. Best of luck.

Haha, good point. I didn't even think of that... I was going for the command. Hehe.

Actually I am a woman... and I'm sure my husband won't mind competing for my attention with my gmail for a day I know how you feel- I haven't gotten any acceptances or rejections yet and I am getting antsy! Good luck to you also.

ah, I should have applied to Hawaii! i had to think about where my husband could get a job though. ah well

Thanks, hope you are hearing/will hear good news as well.

Did anyone else apply to Northwestern? Last year they started calling/emailing around now... Was wondering if anyone had heard anything yet.

Nope, I'm American. Thanks for the spot offer! I may just have to take you up on that, haha. Hopefully not, though!

Thanks. Yeah, I got that email as well. Like I said... just being irrational. Thanks for the reassurance!

Comparative politics (race and ethnicity, political culture, immigration) and political theory.

thanks. congrats to you on your acceptances. i thought about applying to UNC but in the end it wasn't a very good match for me. still, it seems like a great program!

agh! i am so excited/nervous about chicago as well. and, i also don't understand why people would post false results... are they really that bored?

haha, thanks- you are right. i am being very irrational because this is the first school (out of the the ones i've applied to) to post any acceptances or rejections, or anything at all. i'm in freak out mode and need to calm down! it does help that the people on the forums who have applied to wisc have not heard anything yet. i just have to remain calm. maybe i should take up meditation.

agh! someone else posted an acceptance from wisconsin. this week is going to be agonizing.

ahh! wait! someone new has posted that their website status changed for wisc and they were accepted. mine still says pending now i am officially worried.

Hey all. I applied to Wisconsin too. Still no change for me- I think that person who claims to be accepted on the results page must already be a student at Wisconsin- that is really the only way I could see finding out so early. (I have a friend in an MA program at U Minn, he is applying for PhD programs in communication, and the dept. chair let him know personally that he was in a couple of weeks before the actual decisions went out.) It seems unlikely that no one else would have heard from them by now if someone got accepted on Friday under other circumstances. Aghhh. I am really hoping to get in there.

agree with you guys! i also really, really want to hear back from somewhere! northwestern contacted its acceptances last year this week so i am really nervous. i've reached the stage where i have started seriously doubting getting in anywhere. eek!

congrats! i applied to hopkins as well and i don't think we'll be hearing from them until early march.

might try again next year if i am rejected. i will try to get a job at a university in my current field (development/fundraising) and maybe take a few classes to strengthen my apps. would have to re-take the GRE again. bah. i hope i don't have to!

I second the request for info from the Wisconsin acceptance... Still waiting to hear back from them... And my other schools as well.... :shock: Applied to Chicago, Johns Hopkins, MIT, WUSTL, UW Madison, U Minnesota.
