Checked my Georgetown Apply Yourself portal and it said I was missing a transcript for a one-semester program. Hope it doesn't mean my application wasn't looked at...

Penn grad coordinator said, "We are currently finalizing admissions decisions. All letters will be sent out by the end of the next week." Probably means I'm cooked. Pity.

Can anyone claim the Penn acceptances?

When/how did you find out you were waitlisted at Northwestern? I'm asking because I think I am on an informal waitlist there, and the only waitlist result reported was two weeks ago.

Michigan has a methods subfield, so you might not be in the Americanist pool of waitlisters.

Americanists accepted at Michigan: it is a cold and terrible place. If you believe Poli Sci Rumors, the department is run by qualitative scholars. You have better offers elsewhere! ¬_¬

I'm thankful for the decisions I've received, but this is certainly a weird set of them.

Rejected from Vanderbilt. The DGS cc'd everyone on the email with the subject line "Disappointing news from Vanderbilt political science." Someone replied all to let them know he got accepted somewhere else.

I've called Michigan and have more info on the wait list. The graduate program coordinator said they shoot for a specific cohort size and the wait list is ranked by subfield. Generally, they pick people off the wait list if others in the subfield accept other offers. They said they typically know more around the last week of March after the admitted students visit. And, no, they don't tell you where you rank.

Was it a group email for Vandy?

Wait listed at Michigan! Unbelievable.

Oh, I lost track of my login info after I got rejected.

No, it didn't.

Not yet.

Email from Pitt: a "very short, very selective waiting list." Followed up to see if they're holding an open house.

Rejected from Minnesota. Waitlisted at Pittsburgh. Didn't receive an email from Minnesota; just checked Apply Yourself and it had the decision letter.

Caved in and called Northwestern. They have not made all of their decisions yet. They will make them in two weeks.

Is anyone still waiting to hear from Northwestern?

Political science.

Per the Minnesota graduate program coordinator, all decisions will be released via ApplyYourself either today or tomorrow.

A Michigan acceptance!?

Yes, but who even knows what any of this means?

"Decision Made."

Damn, did we apply to all of the same schools?

My status is also "Final Review" for Minnesota. Fingers crossed that it's an admission!
