Believe it or not, his acceptances are true; I actually met him this weekend and I have no reason to doubt his success.

politicalscienceguy reacted to APGradApplicant in Fall 2010 Admission Results
We better hear from UMN today! The uncertaintly has been killing me...the last few days I've been on a steady diet of Marlboro Lights and Starbucks. So yeah, if I'm not dead from cardiac arrest by the end of the day, I really hope that it caps off this stressful process!

Pigeons??? Not these days. I'm sure they'll use owls.

politicalscienceguy reacted to politicalscienceguy in What does it take?
I applied to a lot of places (and have withdrawn from 4 or 5 that aren't even listed on my sig) because I was told that the admissions process is very capricious, and a lot of luck is involved. Guess I've been pretty lucky. I went to a strong liberal arts college in the US, had a 4.0, and a couple of very strong letters from younger professors who have a lot of connections. Although many have said that the precise GRE doesn't matter as long as it is good, there's something about a 1600 (my score) that brings you to the top of the pack---I completely agree that this is ridiculous and unfair.
But if you look at the acceptances, a lot of people have been accepted to quite a few places, and they will all be turning down all but one. So lots of slots will open up. I do hope that those with a lot of acceptances will decline offers as soon as possible....I will do so for all but a few very soon. Best of luck.
