  1. i also received word in an email that they mailed them out today. good luck everyone!
  2. Isn't Rensselaer a big STS school as well? I know the Fortun's are widely read beyond STS, and I'd wager that the rest of the department is strong also. In Canada there is only one STS program with appointed faculty that i'm aware of (York). I'd imagine those #s are going to grow in the next 10 years. Don't lose hope!
  3. schools are also sending out acceptances to their top choices with deadlines. if you haven't heard an explicit 'no', you might be in the next group that they extend offers to if/when their top choices accept elsewhere. with that said, i know a lot of programs don't do 'rounds' of offers - they accept who they do and then that's it for the year. e: also - i feel for you - this process can be very stressful. i hope that you get in to a program soon!
  4. I got an offer that wants a decision by the end of month. My feeling is: i'm an international student, my GRE quant scores were "meh", and I have an offer on the table that makes me happy. Emboldened, I reached out to all the remaining US programs I applied to this morning who've all had my file since some point in December, trying to get a timeline on a decision. Clark's admissions department said "the next few weeks - likely by first week in March". I'll call the program director or reach out to individual profs next Monday if I don't hear by then. I sent emails to Anthro @ Penn, and Geography @ UGA also. Both of them have likely sent out their first round already - so I may not be providing news to anyone on that front, but may be helpful to those of us in limbo. I understand why people are hesitant to reach out, but you could also argue that boldness might be a characteristic that some departments look for. Based on these threads over the years, I would appear to hold a minority opinion on the matter.
