Indeed

Another day goes by and no info from MIT...

Did anyone contact MIT or Stanford about the timeline?

Does anyone know whether Michigan released results for every subfield? I hope Stanford and MIT will release their results soon too. I am really bored of waiting

I received something like a waitlist from WUSTL, saying that they cannot offer an admission right now but will contact me when they have a better picture of funding and entering class in few weeks

I feel like Stanford is gonna release the results today

I received a funding offer. Does anyone know where I can find a blog post or information like PhD Income Taxes Explained For Dummies? As an international student, the information on the school's website seemed confusing and complicated to me. I want to approximately calculate how much income I will have

CP here

Before the application period I have requested a fee waiver from the department and they responded by saying that they can't and noted they will be admitting only 1-2% instead of usual 10%

Claiming a Northwestern accept! So happy, received an e-mail to check my application status and there it was!

For Vanderbilt (I was interviewed for IR), my impression is that each subfield has its own schedule so if there aren't any interviews for CP, maybe they are still preparing the shortlist. My interviewer also said that they expect to release the decisions this week or next week latest after each subfield finalizes its decision.

Hi, I am sorry to hear that and hope you will receive good news. As for the Vandy, I have contacted the department to applied for a fee waiver. But first I needed to send my application documents so I applied without paying the fee. They told me they will look into my fee waiver after that. I completely forgot about the fee waiver and application fee but I was invited for an interview and my interviewer told me that they have granted me the application waiver only during the interview. I feel like they have already finalized their short-list but I do not know. That was my experience and hope it helps you.

I think I broke the record for today with four rejections hahahaha

You can google "School Name, PhD Admission Statistics" some schools publish these statistics. For example I know Northwestern https://tableau.northwestern.edu/t/TGS/views/OnlineData/OnlineData?%3Aembed=y&%3AshowAppBanner=false&%3AshowShareOptions=true&%3Adisplay_count=no&%3AshowVizHome=no accepts 11%. I think it varies between 5%-30%, and depends on various factors how long their waitlist etc.

I love how we try to keep our hopes alive hahahah (don't misunderstand me, I have also applied to Berkeley cp and think I am a really good fit that is why :D)

Hahahahhahaha

I was interviewed for IR and also another friend from this forum. I guess they have been sending interview requests by subfield. But I don't know if they interview everyone on the short-list

Berkeley and Emory... Where are you?

I don't see any reason for them not to release all the decisions at once to be honest Congrats to all those admitted.

Mine is international conflict and comparative

Claiming interview with Vanderbilt. Does anyone have any insights about it? The email states it will be a brief 15-20 min interview but nothing else.

We are so unlucky this year or admissions are getting more and more competitive or both

I started feeling like I shouldn't have joined this forum and checked the results of previous cycles. As it's the last Friday of January, I am refreshing my e-mail account like crazy. I hope Berkeley, Princeton and Emory release their results today...

Anxiety strikes again

Thank you. It is the political science dep, havent applied to peace studies

Thank you for your response! I wonder what they mean by the finalist... Will I interviewed or am I already accepted? So unclear...
