Hi. Did you reach out to them or did they reach out to you?

I'm in CP too. Though the Professor who emailed is IR. This probably means nothing, the odds of getting off the waitlist are extremely low.

On a side note, anyone have any updates about MIT?

Mine is CP.

Did anyone who got waitlisted at Princeton get a third, more optimistic email from a faculty member regarding the waitlist or is it just me?

Anyone know anything about Chicago, Yale and MIT?

Something interesting I noticed in my waitlist email from Princeton, they noted that this was a "near record breaking year," implying that it was not a record breaking year, even if it was close.

UChicago, Yale, Princeton, MIT and NYU. NYU I don't really expect to get in, even though its my current undergraduate school. Its a bit too quant heavy for me, and my quant coursework and GRE score don't cut it there. Id say my best bet is Yale or MIT, given the fit, but who knows. This cycle is insane. I was absolutely expecting a rejection at Princeton so this gives me some hope. Also applied to Oxford and LSE for masters in the UK, and Im hoping there might be some good news there.

Got a waitlist from Princeton, which is actually pretty great given that it was one of my weaker apps and not the strongest fit. Gives me hope for Yale and MIT, which are my two strongest.

Anyone heard anything from Princeton?

Hi! LSE and Oxford. I pulled out of applying to Cambridge right at the very end because it wasn't a good fit. Im interested very much in studying ethnicity, violence and the intersection of the two, and so fit is particularly important to me.

Hi guys! Longtime lurker, first time poster here. Have applied to UChicago, NYU, Yale, Princeton and MIT (bit of a total crapshoot across the board with no safeties) in comparative politics along with masters programs in the UK. Loving the energy on this forum. I will say that UCSD coming out around now gives me hope that other schools will also be on time this year.
