Hi! I have never heard that they did. You may however be able to negotiate something when you have some offers in hand (it can't hurt to try).

Done!

Welcome everyone to the 2023-2024 application thread for political science! Discuss the application process, ask questions, post results when they come out, and anything else related to admissions this year. Good luck to you all!

I'm surprised the forum is not more active this year! Where are you guys applying? What are you thinking? Anyone preparing applications for the 12/01 deadline?

Did this ever get resolved?

Shouldn't you have had this resolved sometime around April 15th?

FOR SURE get in touch with the DGS wherever you are waiting from.

Yes take it! Congrats

I'm not sure I understand. It sounds like NYU 1. did tell the original poster that they were waitlisted and 2. that they probably would have to wait until 4/15. I don't know at all what's going on with NYU, but they will clearly admit people off their waitlist when other people give up their spots, who are probably themselves waitlisted somewhere waiting for those waitlists to be resolved. It's nerve wracking to be waitlisted and it sucks but NYU is waiting for admitted applicants to decide if they will attend or not and only then can they resolve their own waitlist. Am I getting something wrong?

I think NYU is itself waiting to hear the decisions from admitted students who themselves may be waitlisted elsewhere. So I don't get the impression that they are prolonging it intentionally.

You have got to get that quant score up. 145 corresponds roughly to the 18th percentile and adcoms must think you'd have a hard time getting through the required methods courses and be successful in your study. It's a fair worry. I think without a quant score in the mid-to-upper 150s your chance will be low at any top-50 program. Your other stats are OK (in my view) but I think they highlight the importance of raising your GRE scores - also the verbal. You can do it though - even if it will take you another year. Hang in there!

What did you decide?

Congrats on an amazing cycle!!!
