Out of curiosity, what is the average expected salary of someone as a professor in political science?
-
I'm curious on this too since I got accepted into Maryland as well.
-
So it is a failed prospect to even go there then?Post-2008 placement is not too good. I'd be a little weary of going there.

Out of curiosity, what is considered young, average, and older for Ph.D. students in terms of age?

Rejected from Georgia via snail mail. At least they were nice about it.
This application cycle actually makes no sense at all seeing as I'm getting into places ranked higher than places that rejected me.

I am claiming the Georgetown admit! About 20 people went to GWU's event.
Congrats! Was it informal or official? I applied to Georgetown as well, though I am not exactly expecting to get in.

Is it possible that Indiana has actually announced all of their acceptances? According to the graduate secretary, decisions were still being made last week. Not really sure if I believe her, though, considering that some decisions were announced a couple of weeks ago (if the results are to be believed).
I see no reason she would lie about that. I've had friends at other schools get letters far before everyone else did around February while others got in during March. On top of that, IU had most of us submit applications fairly late (unless you were an international applicant), so they could have been working with acceptances with the international admits first and then moved onto domestic applicants.

Did everyone who got interviewed at Penn get an email except for me? It's not over yet, but this is utterly depressing....
I mean there is a chance that their initial class won't all commit and they'll fill in the spots with people who are in limbo. I'd wait till March.

This is true. And given the chatter this morning/last night about “Penn usually announcing on Presidents Day,” it wouldn’t be surprising. However, the results postings do mention the DGS correctly and differ in their level of detail and style.
Perhaps that is reading into it too much, but I’m still crossing my fingers nonetheless.
We are political science doctoral hopefuls. If we can't write in differing writing styles and find out who the DGS without a quick Google search, I would be concerned.

Not necessarily. I received my first offer with that kind of e-mail. A full offer letter with funding information arrived around 2 days later.

I wouldn't be so certain until someone actually posts here. You do realize trolls can post multiple submissions, right?

I'm in the same boat. Except I'm not sure whether I would be able to go the second cycle route. Tough luck I guess.
Congratulations to all the admits from my side as well.
I really wish I could help you since you gave a lot of positivity towards my direction when I was despairing a few days ago. I know this doesn't mean much (and I'm not even sure if you're religious), but I'll be praying for your success!

Does anyone know if Indiana finished sending out acceptances or if I'm still in the game with them?
10 minutes ago, arctic_ice said:Rejection from Cornell. It seems to me that this cycle is over for me. I've learned my lesson.While this experience is useful, it nonetheless has a bitter aftertaste.
It is time to start preparing for the second attempt in upcoming autumn.
Congrats to those of you who did it! I wish you success in your future endeavors!
And yes, please, do not forget to share your experience at the very end of the cycle!
Really sorry to hear that! If it makes you feel better, I took last year and didn't get into where I wanted (albeit this was for law school), and I think that year made me a better person in the long run. Bet of luck to the future!

Can someone please ask the DGS of Northwestern when they will send the rejections? Need closure
I mean is it even possible to expect an acceptance at this point?
I'm still waiting on UPenn and Indiana, which I don't know if there is a reasonable chance to get accepted into.
-
MIT reject. I'm happy with Maryland, but it'd feel better to have options...

People coming into Polisci PhD programs with B.Sc is the new fad
This is how med school and doctoral programs fuse together to become a post-grad Disney monopoly.

Just out of curiosity, was your POI MacLachlan?
No, she was not (well she was one of them, but I had another guy in mind, not really Asia related but more on the data side of things)

Sometimes they don't like it when applicants mimic what their POI does. I am not saying that's what you did, but for whatever reasons, faculty see it as lacking an intellectual spark/independence (I've been in a PhD program for two years now and don't have those) if you resemble the research of your POI too closely, instead of viewing it as a strong statement by the applicant that they would find an intellectual fit in the department.
Next time, I'll send my chemistry midterm essay to them as a writing sample instead.

I can officially say I received a UT-Austin rejection. Strange seeing as my thesis was literally based around research done by my POI, but whatever.

Just received a rejection from Stanford.. No email, just checked applyweb and a button called view your decision letter appeared..
If it makes you feel better, I got my rejection from Stanford before I even applied. I e-mailed my POI beforehand with my resume attached, and he honestly told me (in a gentle way since he was really nice about it) that I had less than a 0.001% chance of getting in. As a result, I didn't even bother applying. So at least you didn't get knocked out by Mike Tyson at the starting line.

Waitlisted at USC too. Looks like I'm almost certainly going to Notre Dame, but maybe the waitlists might change that.
And thus, the non-waitlist portion of my cycle ends:
Accepted: Notre Dame, UC Irvine, Colorado, Missouri
Waitlisted: USC, WashU-STL, Brandeis
Rejected: Michigan, Princeton, Univ of Washington

all Admission acceptance have been sent according to the email.
good luck
please reject if you have better offer. This is my top choice
I'm assuming that given I didn't get an acceptance or a waitlist notification that I've been rejected from my own alma mater, but I'm just happy to have a fallback option now. Then again, it certainly seemed that I was rejected when I talked with my POI and she mentioned how many highly qualified international students applied this year.

Any particular reason or elaboration as to this? Is this purely because of the placement ranking?
