Thanks! Public Law/American. I have a feeling it will take her awhile to send all those personal emails.
Fair enough. Do you know how many people they accept each year? (Not sure if she disclosed this to you)

It was a personal email from the chair for my waitlist. She said that they had double the applicant pool(160 compared to 80 last year) and that due toe Covid they had a smaller cohort this year. I know this doesn't help, but I thought I would share what she told me. Good luck!
Congrats on the waitlist! I haven't heard back yet...but just wondering- whats your subfield?

I have seen 1 waitlist from UMass Amherst. Has anybody else heard from them?
I haven't heard back from UMass yet.... I hope I get good news from them though, definitely near the top of my list!

This is good news to see! Hopefully we hear from them by the end of the week.
I hope so too. When I spoke with a faculty member there, they said they hope to inform applicants of their decisions in the beginning of Feb, mid-feb at the latest.

Also just saw this. Perhaps letters will be a big deciding factor this year?
-
Also just saw UMass prof posted on twitter that they had 167 applicants to their PhD Poli Sci Program. They seem to have finished reading over the letters of rec according to her post. Not sure how many people they admit....but hopefully for those of us who applied, we hear back soon!

Yeah not a great start to this cycle for me, but BU was my top choice. Good luck with the rest of your schools!
Aw well I am sure somewhere else will work out for you !! And thank you! You too

I'm pretty bummed about BU, I thought I was a great fit for IR and I spoke with several professors. I knew this year would be extremely tough though. I also had 4 strong letters of recommendation
I also had 4 strong letters and had spoken with a few profs at BU. I'm not that bummed because it wasn't my top choice, but I'm a bit like..ooouff, starting off this admission cycle on a bad note LOL
-
Got my BU rejection. First one of the cycle. Ouch, but c'est la vie
-
Just now, BrownSugar said:
No, just got the email. Wishing you luck with all your apps!!
I guess the acceptances no one claimed earlier might have been real?Maybe? Perhaps whoever posted them isn't active on our forum. I'll claim my rejection when I receive it. Lol

The only professor they had that was a close fit for my interests left last month, so I’m assuming there was really no viable alternative.
Fair enough. Ya still got USC!!! Did your BU portal update? I still haven't heard from them....just waiting for the rejection LOL

Just now, scarletwitch said:
Does anyone have any tips for contacting graduate admissions offices to find out when decisions are going to be released? Best to call or to email? Am just thinking of contacting a couple which are slightly behind schedule this year to find out what is up.
I've seen people in here post that they've called before - maybe because its more instant/direct?

Lmao fam I recorded 2 videos for myself, for admission and rejection. One where I congratulate myself and another where I comfort myself. Just like Michael in the office. This is how stressed out I am
I’m literally laughing so hard. This gave me life today
-
I had a dream last night that I got rejected from BU. Lol. You know it’s bad when admission results start leaking into your subconscious .... ugh this cycle is taking over my life lol

Thanks! It's nice to know I will have options now.
It's humbling to think that these schools essentially want to pay me to be there. I've felt "imposter syndrome" for a while now, and while I don't think that's gonna stop anytime soon, it's reassuring that schools (no matter the ranking) see potential in me.
Of course. That reassurance must be a great feeling. Your admissions are well deserved so give yourself some credit!
