[Johns Hopkins]

Thanks! No, that wasn't me. IR subfield. Which one did you apply to?

I received an email notification two days ago that I got in.

[Georgetown University]

Agreed - that was the most tedious application ever. Haven't heard anything yet either. I applied to both the PhD in Comp and the joint MA/PhD in Arab Studies and Comp, and was informed through an email exchange with one of the administrators in their Near Eastern (?) studies dept that they'd only just reviewed my application for the latter a few days ago.
