Anyone applying to the following Schools Poli Sci Phd? Yale, Princeton, Rutgers, Uconn, Stony Brook, and Vandy?
I applied to Princeton.

Checked mine after reading this post and mine still says "pending." I am assuming that this pretty much means a rejection by now for UW-Madison...
By the way, congratulations PrincipalAgent and everyone who got in!
You have to click "Enter" after the Grad Application Status page, or at least I did. Then again, I'm not actually accepted yet, so...
EDIT: Sorry for the double post.

From Wisconsin: "Your program has recommended you for admission. The Graduate School will be reviewing your file. Please refer to this page for updates." Is this what you had, PrincipalAgent?
-
EDIT: checked.
Suspecting that next week is UW-Madison, WUSTL, and Duke.
Sweats nervously.
Next up from the places I'm applying is probably going to be Penn State who seem to send out acceptance in the final days of January.
Sweats more nervously.

Congrats-can you give more details about your subfield and GRE scores?
Thanks.
Subfield: Didn't specify, apparently? (American Politics; I think this was clear via my statement of purpose and interview, though)
GRE: Verbal: 168
Quantitative: 170
Writing: 5.0

Thanks, guys! No word on funding yet, but I'm pretty stoked to get accepted.
Thanks for the heads up, checked the site and I'm in too!
Congratulations!

Solid plan -- I have lots and lots of job interview experience, and was wondering if there were any weird idiosyncrasies with this style I wasn't thinking of.
I get the feeling that graduate schools want you to have questions, at least more so than do regular employers.

Does anybody have any advice for an interview? it looks like the Emory interview is with 3 faculty over skype
Look over your application to see what exactly you said about yourself and the school. Be confident in your statement of purpose, but also have other areas of interest prepared (assuming you have those). Be confident and charming.

Ohio State's in.
Accepted!

I'm surprised more schools aren't jockeying for position early on in the cycle with respect to their acceptance date, as I've been [even more] fixed on OSU since my interview last week. I suppose deciding when to contact applicants is something like timing a formal announcement of one's candidacy for office insofar as there's a tradeoff between getting your name out there early and making sure you're fresh in the mind of voters [or prospective admits] when it comes to decision time. I know admission committees model out the likelihood that an accepted student will matriculate--I wonder to what degree they consider this phenomenon.
We should do a study!

I like the username, Duvergerian! I'm going to hazard a guess and say you're a comparativist?
Thanks! I actually have more of a focus on American voting, just applying Duverger's principles.

Just made an account and figured I'd go ahead and post here. From what I'm seeing, my programs will be giving out responses over the span of about a month, which, I'm sure, will be nice and stressful.

Got an email from Wisconsin-Madison's Political Science department about recommendation for admission (similar to the web posting, but more positive). Holding off on celebrating until the university finalizes the admission, though.
