Actually I spoke with the graduate administrator the first day acceptances were sent out (via email) and she told me that the letters were being sent out that day and that the DGS would be giving 'heads-up emails/calls.' While this is rather ambiguous I got the distinct impression that letters were in fact going out in the regular mail. Also, if she did mean that email attachment letters were being sent out that day then why have so many people not received them? It is now 2-3 days later after the initial acceptances were emailed so it seems as though the snail mail route may be true.

Thanks. Yeah that is what I figured, they haven't sent out announcements of decisions yet. Judging by the results section postings from last year it looks as though they send out notifications around Feb. 19th/20th so that is why I figured probably next week sometime or possibly early the following week. It is really the only school left that I care about hearing from so I'm anxious to find out.

So is that just for WWS (Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton) or will the regular politics dept. adcomm meet aorund the same time? By intuition is that the politics dept. will have decisions by the end of next week or so.

What conference? I had a paper accepted for presentation at the MPSA in Chicago last week

Hey anyone who has been accepted (or rejected) from Michigan: How did you find out? official email? email from prof in subfield? website? regular mail? I haven't heard anything and it seems as though other people have. I also can't find anything on the application status page that offers a decision or anything? Thanks...

Pittsburgh made their decisions like 2 weeks ago. If you haven't gotten a letter in the mail you should call the department. (I know this because I am an undergrad there and my advisor was chair of adcomm)

Yeah, Michigan is a great school. What is your subfield? I am doing judicial and interbranch interactions more generally. I wonder when Princeton usually lets everyone know.

WashU. (I suppose I will also consider Michigan but think that the faculty at WashU is stronger for my research interests)

This makes a lot of sense and is also why it seemed so suspicious to me when those were posted yesterday. Princeton is the only school left that I even care about hearing from, I've already been accepted to my second choice. This makes the waiting even harder because I just want to know now.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering because it seemed somewhat suspicious that such a low number posted acceptances and rejections but I received nothing. How are they found to be fake? (Just curious)

Has anyone heard from Princeton?
