And now we've seen Northwestern acceptances and rejections, yet I've still heard nothing from them. Can anyone talk about the NU rejection? Is it posted on the Admission Tracking System?

LOL.. I started to get this strange feeling that even a rejection would be better than waiting for nothing.

Congratulations! Another long and no-response day for me.

Seems like it is safe to assume that I am rejected from Northwestern..

It's like the silence before another storm.

That's a relief...at least for now.

Yeah maybe in a week.

Rejected by Berkeley too. I heard from a Duke PhD that someone in the admission staff was injured and may not be able to deliver all the results in time.

Seems that another Northwestern acceptance was posted... It's so worrying.

Congrats, ZajoncSays! I am also waiting for Northwestern decision right now. I am a theory guy.

Thanks man. I do know about UMASS Amherst, also York University in Canada, both of which excellent in Marxism. The thing is that I may go back to China to find a teaching job, and China is strangely obsessed with overall reputation of the university rather than the program, so I will definitely apply for UMASS and York, but I may also have to prepare for some better-ranked ones. Thank you very much.

I am planning to go for a Ph.D program in theory Fall 2015. Actually I am now doing Marxism, but it seems that few departments in the States welcome this interests. I was wondering if any of you guys know some programs that are more open-minded, or that allows students more freedom to do researches on their own? I am now expecting my M.A. in theory in NYU Politics. Thank you so much.
