Congrats! What is your subfield?

Anyone claiming the uiuc admit? It looks there is a movement on their waitlist.

Oh, it must be a good experience. Thanks for the information.

May I know when the visitation day of UIUC is?

Oh, I see. Then, having an offer from Yale must be a great news to you. And, thanks for the clarification.

Wow. You have so many great offers. Did you receive an official letter from Georgetown? I am not sure whether the department has officially sent out decisions.

I see. I think I should contact the graduate coordinator of the program as you advised.

I recently had an email from a program indicating me that the department would recommend my admission to the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies. However, it states, "That office will process your application only after you indicate that you accept this departmental recommendation...Please can you let us know at your earliest convenience whether you accept this recommendation by signing and returning this letter." Should I accept their recommendation when I decide to commit to this program? I think this process looks a bit weird since most schools do not let students decide whether they accept departmental recommendation for an admission.

Since an applicant stated that his rank on the subfield waitlist is 7th, I think we can assume that Illinois has a very large waitlist.

Among the schools you mentioned, I only applied to UIUC. However, it is certain that Rochester is a good place to study. Especially, the placement record looks really nice. http://www.sas.rochester.edu/psc/people/phd-alumni.php

Thanks for the info.

That is awesome. How were you notified?

Oh, I completely misinterpreted your posting. Sorry about that. I would just simply ask about the status of my application.

UIUC. Do you know we can search results on the results page? Here is the page address. https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=political&t=a&o=&pp=25 Although you find that some acceptances already sent out, you cannot figure out the status of your application. Maybe you are in their unofficial waitlists, or they have been still deliberating. It is also possible that they have not sent out rejections. So, in order to know the exact status of your application, you should ask to someone who has exact information.

I only applied to one school that he mentioned. I personally asked the graduate coordinator about the status of my application. I think you made a bold assumption. How can I know whether Victor xu will release some information on this thread again?
