Naw, man, Ms. Knight is a) nice and responded to email requests with great speed. I'll say it: I am pro-Marylu Knight. Too bad I got rejected.

I've been waitlisted at Chicago. Anybody have an idea what the chances are that they send an offer, and when? Thanks ya'll.

Duke'll let us know in the next week. Decisions made.

I'm going to call Duke today. I need to find out an answer before Feb 25 - the day my spouse submits the list for medical residency programs. Would be great to live in the same city, after all...! I'll let you know what happens.

Akh, ty durak Dzhon! I was rejected by Yale. Those magnificent bastards. I feel like I've let Dean Acheson down. I'm going to shave off this ridiculous mustache.

Hey pollytheory - get back to work.

"While I cannot provide financial details until the results of the Fellowship competition are known, be assured that with this offer of admission we are committed to providing you a very competitive five year package of tuition and stipend support." Yep yep yep. Same for all. OSU has increased funding this year for their polisci program, so I think it'll be good news to those that accept and head off to the jewel of the Midwest, Columbus, Ohio. (And enjoy the overcast cloudy skies 60% of the days!)

I received an email from OSU. Dare I go back to Columbus? What will the Michiganders in my family say? Where'd you go to HS rlayla?

I had heard that Yale is mid-March. Am I the only one who thinks that? I'd be thrilled about being wrong here. All i have is this stupid little 3 X 5 with the dates written down for projected acceptances from all my programs... but I have no idea where I got this information anymore. When do I get "caffeinated," dammit!

Ehhhhhh!!!! I'm "pending" as well. Well, they can get pent!

Nada! Nichego! Hic bir sey! I had such high hopes for UNC today...

Didn't an earlier post say Tuesdays and Wednesdays are favorites to make or break our dreams? A bunch of coworkers have all applied to some of the same schools (is this a big negative for us all?), so we keep working ourselves into a lather with each passing day...

OSU this week - shouldn't surprise, they told me a long time ago that last week Jan/first week Feb would be when they throw out acceptances. Since they didn't want writing samples in the slightest, it makes sense they should be among the first. I smell UNC on the wind... but predict Duke next week.

An employee at UNC Chapel Hill program confirmed that they have two rounds - one in late January and another in mid February ("mostly likely," the individual said).

Shouldn't Ohio State U. and UNC Chapel hill be notifying this week? I'm perhaps doubly frantic about finding out - my spouse is applying to medical residency programs, and we have to match (the city, at least). Feels like shooting a bullet with a bullet. Except the second bullet is also really slippery.
