Fall 2010 Admission Results
CrimsonBlue replied to APGradApplicant's topic in Political Science Forum
I lost my interest in the program due to timing. I do IPE, so the program is actually a really good fit for me. But, I don't think I am going to wait any longer before I commit. Once I hear back from Princeton WWS, I will make my decision regardless of my chance of getting admitted at UCSD. -

Yes.... not really a program for IPE. -

I claim Stanford GSB rejection: randomly checked the website. Also, I haven't heard anything from Princeton (Funny)... -

Thanks a lot for this. It is indeed random to a certain extent. -

I sympathize with you almost 100%. The flow of offers has stopped for me since Michigan, Rochester, and couple other universities. I have a 3.8 from an Ivy and 1400+ on the GRE with a great SOP (I spent 4 months on it with professors and graduate students giving me feedbacks.) Not to mention I have a great array of recommendation letters from the Ivy. I am getting rejected by some other lower ranked institutions + Stanford and Princeton (Probably). This is frustrating because I have great great potential advisors at HPS. We will see whether Harvard makes an offer or not, even though it seems unlikely. -

There is a post on GSB already. I applied to GSB, but I don't think I have gotten in. On the GSB website, it says decisions will be announced in mid-March, but from the past trends, we are likely to hear back next week or so. -

Also, UCLA's endowment has gone down below $1b. Given the size of its student population (both undergrad and grad), this amount of endowment doesn't seem enough to maintain the University's status as a major research institution. So, they may be choosing candidates extra carefully. -

This is outrageous! I hope this only applies to pure WWS programs, not joint-degree programs with econ and poli sci. -

My poor friend still believe everything on departmental websites. He is sure that he will hear back in mid-March. Yes, he will if the ones he is getting are rejections!!! I think everything except waitlisted people will be over by the end of February. @ cpaige: I ate every single piece of them! -

So, I had Chinese food this evening. I had two fortune cookies and found the following: "There will be many surprises: unexpected gains are likely." "Your infinite capacity for patience will be rewarded sooner or later." I am probably extrapolating too much, but I wanted to share this fortune with you guys! -

For IR, it would be hard to find another place besides UCSD. I still haven't heard back from UCSD's PSIA program. It's one of my top choices! -

Several friends of mine heard from Berkeley for CP, AP and IR. They all got in on Tuesday, I believe. I think the flow of acceptances is done, although I may be wrong. -

BTW, why am I not hearing back from UCSD? Is it because I applied to their joint degree program? Has anyone applied to its joint degree program with GRE cutoffs specifically mentioned? -
