Oh WW, please send the results already. Used to be that I drank 3 cups of coffee everyday just to stay awake. Thanks to WW, I stay awake the whole time without much effort.

Bill, I heard from the CIR and was accepted but with no funding. I have an offer from Syracuse for MPA with funding decision yet to come, so that basically rules out Chicago. If I have to pay I would rather go to Syracuse than Chicago. Good luck to you!

I just checked my mail and saw nothing. I am kind of scared that it might be the rejection letter arriving soon. But then it would take a few days for the letter to get to Philly from IL (Ok, I am an optimist).

Actually I heard from the Maxwell School at Syracuse U. that the faculty had recommended me for admission, but no official word from the office of graduate school admissions yet. It’s also a one-year program (in public administration). Re:migration, I heard the same things about the CIR as you did. Hopefully we will hear from them this week. Good luck! And be sure to post here if you hear from them. I will do the same.

Thanks for the note and the update, B. CIR is not my clear first choice, but it's the only IR program that I applied to and will be seriously considering it if I get in. I applied to two other MA programs (both MPA), just to diversify my "portfolio" a little. I went to a small liberal arts college in the east coast and my professors told me that CIR was one of the best places to go to if I wanted to do PhD in either economics or political science afterwards (I guess it's because of its analytical -- mathematical? -- rigor) there or elsewhere. I looked at the time from last year when they sent out their results (from this forum) and it seems like they send them out in the first week of March. That's why I am losing patience. I live in Philadelphia. How about you?

I applied to the Committee on International Relations, but have not heard anything yet. I am already nervous. If anyone has heard from them, I would really appreciate if he/she shared the info here.

Actually Syracuse and a bunch of others send their results on a rolling basis. I am not sure what I am going to do for the next two weeks. If I could kill myself temporarily for these two weeks, I would do it.

Looking at last year's thing, it looks like they send out all acceptances by email on March 14th and all rejections on March 15th. I also applied there and the silence is killing me too.
