PhD in what? Viable how? What is your background otherwise?

1 month and 3 days left...but who's counting?

epic.

No one go to Princeton! Kthnx

From my understanding, it is contingent on the system for wait listing. Some programs have subfield-level wait lists, but others literally have POI-level waiting lists. This saddens me because I am wait listed after listing 3 rock star POIs but I would be happy to work under so many other faculty at the university I'm working at as well!

Not from Princeton/Harvard!

Speaking with DGS and POIs, it is almost always on April 15th that people hear back. Can you imagine the craziness on the last day for middle-tier universities?

That terrible feeling when you know that you will not hear a final decision from the waiting list until April 15. Tick, tick, tick....

I am guessing this is an implicit rejection? Stil haven't heard.

Doorkeeper you just need to click your heels three times and believe.

Convinced that polisci job rumors losers are posting yale notices just to toy with us. Mission accomplished, mission accomplished.

I don't trust any thing on here anymore. Anyone else decided where they will go already thst applied to multiple programs? I'm waiting out Princeton because it's my dream program, but otherwise helllooo Durham.

At least (I think) this has not happened to anyone on here: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-17/carnegie-mellon-mistakenly-admits-800-students

According to the Yale DGS site, they neither make offers over the phone nor will contact you about decisions by phone. I am expecting next week, contrary to the posts on here. However, I am happy to put my foot in my mouth if I'm wrong. Btw, is it common for a department to offset funding by any external funding you receive? I noticed at Duke that if you receive $X, your fellowshop/stipend is offset by $X, r sultan in a net gain of $0.
