Thanks for your support! And congratulations for the getting in NYU!

Are you sure the NYU results are not fake as well? Im hoping so, Ive been officially rejected in three programs and havent received anything from Berkeley and Chicago so thats probably two more...Im fearing the prospect of having 15 rejections...

Sorry people for the silly question at this point, but im just wondering if there is any possibility that if you did not receive an e-mail, you may still be accepted via post (im an european student so Im hoping there might be some letters crossing the atlantic right now...)?

What happens if you can't go?! Im worried cause I've already booked something else at that same period..

Hi everyone, Thanks for starting this forum! Im applying to a total of 15 programs in comparative politics. It's the second time Im applying but Im not feeling any better.... I was doing fine until recently - I have a Masters from the LSE in comparative politics, worked in the UNHCR, the European Parliament, had 112 TOEFL iBT, 700Q and 680V - but then I got 3.5 in analytical writing. Not good! So, Im putting all my energy in improving SOP and writing sample and hoping my CV speaks for itself. My favourite choices are Berkeley, UT at Austin and Harvard, but Im also applying to smaller, lesser know programs as safety nets. Cant believe I'll hv to wait till feb/march to hear the answers..i'll probably go mad by then.. Good luck everyone!

I just learned my GRE scores: 680 for the verbal section (96%); 700 quantitative(71%); and, the worst, 3.5 in analytical writing (23%). It's the second time I'm applying (I had 4.0 in analytical writing last time) and I'm concerned these results might kill my applications. I'm a foreign student and I did have a good result on the TOEFL (112 out 120 - 27 in writing), so Im wondering what changes will I have in columbia, u texas @ austin, berkeley, nyu?
