Thanks this is very helpful!!!!

I got accepted by JHU... Just out of curiosity...if you are admitted into Duke why do you still bother to check upon JHU? What is your subfield? I mean, at least in Poli Sci, I think, Duke is way better (but of course JHU is also a good school and I am grateful that I got in, but it is just not as good as Duke), and I don't even have the ball to apply to it... Will you really consider going there if you ve already had an offer from Duke at hand?

I am really curious about this and would like to see how the ranks of some schools change over time, and therefore I am wondering if I can find the historical data somewhere. The usnews official website seems to only provide the latest ranking.

I got an acceptance email from JHU just half an hour ago...anyone else got the same thing?

Then I guess I am fucked...the website is still fucking pending now...shit

I mean, mention that to them this year in your application.

May I ask when did they accept you? Also around Jan 20th? Did you mention the fact that you were accepted last year?

Thank you for your kind words, hope you can hear good news soon as well!!!

Actually I posted that. It was just a very quick and brief chat from a member (not named in my SOP) on the committee. He asked me questions like "why PhD", "why Brown", "can you talk a little bit more about the method you mentioned in your SOP". I think I kinda blew that interview as I thought it was mainly about my research interests. I think the main reason I was contacted is because my SOP is super research interest-focused and doesn't mention anything about my motivation or personal anecdote, so they want to know me more personally. Anyway, I am very grateful that I was contacted...but I don't think this is really a big deal. I think it is still very likely for me to get a rejection from them...as I have already got one (one that ranked way below Brown) and probably more will follow...

More people are now posting their OSU acceptance results. Mine is also pending. Very disappointed. I guess this ends my OSU application then...
