Anyone declining Georgetown? Better yet, any comparativists? I would burst into tears the second I received a notification that i got off of the waitlist. Also, if you do decline and I get a spot, I can commit to writing very favorable review articles of all of your work when I am a very important and established academic. Deal?
I've been in touch with them and it seems like if you haven't heard you're still in the running. I was told final decisions should be out by mid-March. Not sure about funding though (if they've already dished it all out?) I'm with you on the emotionally exhausting part
Doing research while obsessively refreshing grad cafe/email has only gotten harder as this month has dragged on. I thought by now I would have perfected it. Can only hope that my productivity will shoot through the roof when and if I get an acceptance!
Wondering if anyone has claimed the Georgetown acceptances? The phone calls seem sporadic -- thoughts on if they're from POI's and maybe that's why? If anyone accepted is willing to share, what is your subfield? Most importantly: Congrats!!!
Congrats to all the Princeton admits! It's a great program.
And of course condolences to those who were destroyed in the bloodbath this morning (myself included). It's a weird relief to FINALLY hear from somewhere--cheers to all of us still waiting on an offer #itonlytakesone
Professor Dickson is mainly a methods/political psychology guy but he has a lot of expertise in the region. Professor Scacco focuses on Sub-Saharan Africa, but her research on participation in collective action/violence is really intriguing to me, and perhaps applicable to the developments in the region.
For a PhD or a Master's? How did you receive the notification? I don't see anything about Georgetown listed on the results page.
Most importantly: CONGRATS!
