  1. Just got my UCSD rejection! Doesn't even sting after I got in at my top choice If you think you're safe at midnight, you're not! I got my letter at 11:55 PM PST.
  2. I'm fairly certain I'm going to the recruitment event. It's nice that it's 100% paid for, but it's hard to take the time off of work right now (they don't even know I applied to schools). I'll post something on Monday after I send my RSVP. I'm hopefully working with Huckfeldt and Lubell, doing environmental policy and political behavior stuff. Glad to hear Adams seems friendly!
  3. I'm probably going to end up at Davis as well, unless I get into Northwestern. Who do you want to work with there?
  4. This sure feels like a typical detailed seminar discussion
  5. Anybody want to claim the Northwestern admit and tell us your subfield?
  6. Just got an email from Northwestern and my heart skipped a beat. It was one of those generic GRE messages from the journalism school. Stop messing with me.
  7. Don't worry. I didn't major in political science and went to a marginal state school. It can happen!
  8. I got in at Davis and Boulder so far.
  9. I'm in a similar spot. My POI at one of my target schools (where I was accepted) said "you have a 4.0 in your masters program, don't even worry about undergrad, you've shown me that you can do solid work at the graduate level, undergrad won't matter at this point." I doubt everyone sees it that way, but that was my experience.
  10. The system says it can't find my application. I logged on an hour ago with no problems. Damnit, I need to work, this is stressing me out.
  11. Anyone want to claim the Northwestern admit? Who sent the email?
  12. That's absolutely it. Think long and hard about the long term benefits of this decision. Think about where you see yourself in 20 years and whether you'd regret not giving it a shot. You can always get another job, but this is a very rare opportunity that many people dream of, but only a handful have the chance to pursue.
  13. I have a great career-type job in my field and had similar second thoughts about grad school. That is, until I received my first acceptance. After I got into one of my top schools, it was the easiest decision I've ever made. Best of luck to the rest of you.

    Evanston, IL

    Also looking for neighborhood suggestions. I am totally oblivious to anything related to Evanston and could use some direction
  15. Anyone here planning on going to the UC Davis recruitment event?
  16. I'm with you on that one. I am useless at work this week.
  17. Make an account at academia.edu, they will tell you how people find your profile.
  18. Got a notification saying someone googled my name and school at 5:10 AM PST. This is making me neurotic.
  19. That's good to hear, I always thought it was a crap shoot
  20. My assumption is that there is always someone standing behind you waiting to take their offer.
  21. Yes I was joking still a terrifying post, though.
  22. Withdrawing all of my applications in the morning. Thank you.
  23. If I don't hear back from at least one program by tomorrow, I will burn this place down.
  24. Hopefully I end Hopefully I end up going. It's terrible having to foot the bill for this thing.
