I had a great visit at UIUC, but I ultimately accepted another offer. Best of luck!

Any word on OSU? Someone has to have some inside information.

Same here.

I like it. Maybe it will catch on.

Yes, just like you did to apply. Same website, same login and password.

Dying to know!

You have to use the school-specific Apply Yourself page, the same page where you went to fill out your application. Just enter the login and password you used to apply and there should be a link that says something like "Decision now available."

Me too.

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked and I got the same message. What a long wait for them to refer us to freaking Apply Yourself. Oh well! I share your sentiment.

My fiancee has an associates degree, but would like to go back to school in the fall to finish her BA. For her, it's not a matter of prestige or academic rigor, she just wants to finally complete her BA after a few years of working. Does anyone know some undergraduate options that are close to Princeton and reasonably priced? I sure want to accept an offer at Princeton, but I need to resolve this first.

That may be so, but I think Princeton might have the advantage regardless of specialization. I really want to visit them both. I assume you are leaning towards UCSD. Who all are you going to visit?

I agree entirely with your analysis. Still, UIUC definitely turned my head. They were so aggressive about emailing me. If I ended up there, I would love to work with Jeff Mondak and Cara Wong, but they have a great, young faculty, as well as Kuklinski, a venerable scholar for sure. I see lots of energy there with potential for a jump in rankings. Minnesota also has a great faculty. I would want to work with Larry Jacobs and Joanne Miller, but there are lots of fantastic options there. Wisconsin is obviously a widely-respected school too, but I personally rank it after Minnesota. Princeton is probably the best school for me. They have great behavior people and I can imagine really getting into political psychology there. I guess I am anxious to visit some places and make an informed decision.

Let us know how the two stack up. Also, what are your thoughts about WUSTL and UIUC?

I met Putnam last year when he visited my university. He is obviously a very accomplished scholar, but he also seems like a really great person. Congratulations on both schools. I understand that both have strong programs in theory.

Just a note: true to their word, my rejection came via USPS. I don't know though if they are really sending acceptances via DHL.
