  1. Just to pick up on this, as someone from the UK. Here it is standard to do 1 year Master's degrees, finding a two year programme offered here would be quite rare. I personally went abroad and did a two year Master's programme, but as the poster above suggested, my time-frame wasn't any different, as I applied at the start of the second year, to begin immediately following my Master's. Had I done a one year Master's it may have been similar, but I think being in the second year applying helped me work with my LORs a little better. I was also trying to make up for some weaker grades in my undergraduate, so more graduate courses on my transcript was helpful. If your previous academic profile is strong and you are clear on your research interests, then it wouldn't necessarily be required.
  2. I'm not sure if anyone else applied, but I received an acceptance from American (SPA) yesterday. NIce funding package plus summer funding and a conference travel grant. Email was just to check the portal for a decision. Also received my Austin rejection. frustrating because this was the one university where I actually knew my POI in person, but perhaps the rest of the department wasn't the best fit.
  3. Also claiming membership in the UCLA reject club. Was also ways going to be something of a stretch for my profile, so no surprise, but would have been nice. Can also claim a UMass Amherst acceptance though. Nice email sent out and a surprisingly good funding package. Hadn't considered it to be my top choice, but has a good American politics faculty, so we shall see.
  4. As per the discussion earlier, just received an official email waitlisting me at Emory. Email seemed very positive. Might be my number one choice if I'm lucky enough to be admitted. That's my second waitlist, adding to the burden on my poor heart.
  5. Are you, by chance, still waiting to hear from Emory? I am still waiting to hear anything from them as well. American subfield if that helps. Hoping for UT Austin some time soon, but also nervous it might be a no.
  6. I have a Georgia admit and was under the impression that they have a staggered admit process (my email came a week after the first acceptance was posted here, for example), so I would think there's still a chance, but can't say definitively.
  7. I'm also still waiting on Emory. Trying to convince myself that that doesn't mean bad news. Also waiting on Austin, UCSD and UCLA at some point soon, but trying not to obsessively check for updates. One admit and a waitlist so far, which takes some of the stress off.
