LOL yeah, it's my first cycle applying too. I just checked on the results page from previous cycles, and there wasn't any indication of interviews reported on there in previous years, but I guess it's not a comprehensive tracking method by any stretch. I am going with you on this one. Stellar, meaning no interview needed! HA!
Good luck to you! Hopefully we both get good news soon!
Are you talking about UW Madison? Because University of Washington interviewed last year.

So it's Monday tomorrow and looking at previous years there could be some acceptances this week..
There have already been rejections and acceptances this cycle. check out http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=political+science
There will undoubtedly be more acceptances and/or rejections this week.

I guess it's time to start checking our emails and spam folders every 5 minutes, right?

Quant score probably disqualifies you from doing american politics at WashU, not sure about the others. Did you take any math or math-y science classes in college? Quant score is less of a problem if you have coursework to demonstrate that you can handle the quantitative requirements for a PhD.
American politics is the most quantitative of the 4 main subfields, so your quant score will probably cause you more trouble than if you, wanted to do theory, for instance.
on this spectrum of most quantitative to least quantitative, how would you place IR and CP?

This post is obviously very biased and nowhere near the truth. It can easily be ignored. The MA in Pol Sci at NYU is an excellent place to get academic training. It has excellent substantive courses in all of the areas of political science as well as courses in quantitative analysis, game theory, and formal modeling. Just this semester alone an MA student can choose to enroll in any of 7 courses that are both MA/PhD level classes, just check out http://politics.as.nyu.edu/object/ma.scheduleSpring2015
What this means is that you can get somewhat of a PhD level education at the MA level if you choose to enroll in the right classes. The NYU MA thus does an excellent job at preparing you for PhD study. It is likely the best option from your list.
