I'm still waiting too. PhD, IR

Me too! I'm from the Hazleton area. I, like you, also applied to BC but haven't found out yet. I'm already finishing up my MA so it's all or nothing with them for me. I don't expect to get in, but still hoping. Anyone here apply to Northeastern or UMass? Hear anything?

Congrats NEPA! By the way, are you from Northeastern PA? I am and where I'm from we call it NEPA. Just curious. On the subject of Russia, in undergrad my major was International Politics and I had chosen Russia as my region of study. I loved studying it. Then I got to grad school (MA program) and my advisor told me to immediately choose another region to study. He said Russia "has been done to death and is out of fashion." That being said I could caution you against studying Russia, but I wouldn't. I think that's a silly attitude to have and I still plan on pursuing it. Someone has to teach/study it, right? PS- Good luck everyone still waiting (like me)! I only heard from 1 of my 5 schools so far and I'm on pins and needles. Best of luck to all!

Congrats! I'm still waiting to hear from them... guessing it's probably not good news. I see two people were accepted today. Was this them responding to an email you sent or they just sent you an email to notify you?
