Saw in the results that someone had a rejection from Georgetown--anyone claiming this? And if so, how were you notified? I've still got nothing from them.

Woah that's an intense number of applications! I was looking at the data from previous years and it seems like they send out acceptances in Feb, and rejections in March (with a few waitlist exceptions) around the 15th.

Ugh I'm sorry! Thank you for the heads up though...maybe that means I'm waitlisted?

Did you hear back from American University? Or just an assumed rejection? I'm waiting on them still, but know that they already sent out first offers over a week ago.

I checked on this and it said that the funding decisions (for RA/TAships) are made separately, so I would expect to hear back in a couple weeks on that. It did have the email for the academic advising contact in the decision letter, but you could also check with masongrad@gmu.edu.

Just a heads up for anyone else still waiting on American University. I reached out to their grad admissions and they said they had extended first round offers last week, and that if any of these are turned down, they'll send out additional offers in March.

I wrote to them, and I also wrote to the specific email for gov. admissions. They gave me the same response from the general email, still waiting on the response from the gov. admissions team. Will post here if they give an update! I'd imagine we'll hear by Monday because end of the month, but that's just a guess.

I emailed and am still waiting on a response. But we are officially past the 10 weeks point.

Right?! It's rough out there.

Thanks--it is what it is. What I want to study is pretty niche, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's all rejections this cycle, but wishing everyone else all the best!

American politics

I did the same! Especially since it had said 6-10 weeks from the deadline, and 10 weeks past the deadline was yesterday. Will also update if I hear anything.

Claiming the UMD rejection. Automated email at 3am.

? sorry. For UMD they seem to have sent out waitlists but I only saw one acceptance, so I wouldn't write them off yet. Good luck!

I'm also waiting on Georgetown and UMD. Are you American Politics? Seems like for those two schools only IR/CP have heard back.
