  1. what is everyone wearing to the open house thats coming up? i have absolutely no idea what to wear and i dont want to be too formal or informal!! any ideas?
  2. i finally got the "package" yesterday. some package! it was just a letter! but i feel relieved that it finally came...
  3. uch i just had my husband check our mail in nyc and still no package....why is this process so torturous??
  4. now i cant wait to leave the office and go home to see if my package is there! was there a lot of stuff in it? im so excited!
  5. we actually have very similar interests. i am interested in ethnic conflict and failed states. i actually went to columbia as a undergrad and worked with snyder (who is the nicest man alive, you should know), so i would love to work with betts. i look forward to meeting you at the open house!
  6. whew! now i feel better knowing i'm not the only one who hasn't gotten my package. i'm so excited for the open house! i guess i will see you there! what specifically in IR are you interested in? do you know what advisor you might want to work with, or what classes you might want to take?
  7. well they said we would have our packages by yesterday (for domestic students), and i live in NYC and didnt get mine....what the hell is going on? i want my package!
  8. thanks for the advice on the one hand i am anxious to leave my job and focus completely on grad school. however, i am currently working for a scholarly journal in the political science field, so i'm worried if i leave on a bad note it could hurt my future chances of getting published somewhere. that's why im feeling pressure to continue working. but deep down i really dont want to be here anymore...
  9. for those of you who are already admitted to your school of choice, and may be working a full-time job right now, do you plan on continuing to work while you're in grad school? does anyone have opinions on whether its feasible to work part time your first year of a phd program? im currently working in the same city where i plan on attending grad school (nyc--columbia), and my boss really wants me to stay on part-time, but im not sure i can/want to. any feedback is greatly appreciated
  10. yeah i got that email yesterday too....i am sitting here at work counting down the hours until i can leave, so i can rush home and await my package! i am also going to the open house weekend....i guess i will see you there! what subfield are you? i'm IR
  11. i haven't gotten my package either...i spoke to someone in the admissions office and they told me we should be receiving it this week. for those admitted students, is anyone going to the open house weekend march 30-april 1?
  12. I'm interested in studying w/ Richard Betts, Virginia Page Fortna, and Robert Jervis. Also Jack Snyder but he was my thesis advisor there as an undergrad, so I'd like to get exposed to some different people.
  13. Super excited about getting into Columbia!!!! Anyone going to the recruiting even March 30-April 1??
  14. Who knows whether this is true or not....I guess we will all keep our collective fingers crossed and hope for the best as soon as possible! good luck to all!
  15. i think they were sent out by email, but i have also seen some posts from last year where acceptances were sent via postal mail, so who knows. as usual, we are kept completely in the dark. i cant wait for this day to be over so i can go home, make some tea, and watch the snow fall.
  16. im pressing the refresh button on my inbox more than usual this morning because at this date last year columbia started sending out acceptances....today i will be either very happy, still anxious, or extremely depressed....
  17. thanks! im keeping my fingers crossed!! anyone know anything about princeton?
  18. I think a lot of us feel in the same boat....it's so frustrating that this process is so opaque and schools can't give you a straight answer about when they will get back to you. It's even more frustrating that every school has a different admissions timeline, so many people are stuck with rejections and are keeping their fingers crossed for just one acceptance (that would be me!!!)
  19. Did you hear this from someone in admissions or is this just speculation? (I don't mean to be annoying....im just so anxious.....so far all I've gotten is one rejection from Yale!!)
  20. sorry if this post appears twice...im not sure why i can't see the first one. anyways, has anyone heard any info about when columbia might be sending admissions decisions? i have looked at a bunch of different forums and the dates for when people heard last year range anywhere from as early as feb 22nd to as late as the end of march. does anyone have any more concrete info? has anyone called the admissions office recently to find out?

I think it's a pretty sure bet, based on previous years and what the website says, the Princeton will email responses around week of March 3-7, or just after. -oh well, i guess i have to stop refreshing my inbox!
