Ohh ok lol gotcha. I'm IR as well- I emailed and was told they definitively won't have spots for IR people this year.

Oh wow! Congratulations! May I ask what subfield you are?

Wondering this too, I haven't gotten anything yet

I got a call like that and got offered the spot off the waitlist.. what happened is basically I was asked about my research interests and why I was interested in that specific university, then I was told about the program and offered a spot. Good luck!!

Question: for those of us waiting to hear back from waitlists, will we hear back ON Apr 15, or on Apr 16 after people decline their offers on the 15th?

Claiming an acceptance to UMD off the waitlist. Good luck hearing back– I hope you get into a school you want to go to!

Yeah I'm also curious about this. Waitlists are my last chance of getting in/being able to go w/ funding and I really want to know how likely it is that I will.

Let's just say your cycle is over, and you're waiting on 2 waitlisted programs (with all the rest being rejections). Is there anything else you can do before then or do you just sit and wait essentially? Also, what can you do now to start planning again for next year? Is it worth it to apply to any of the same programs or would I need to look at different options?

WL for UMD but not accepted. I wanted to ask the same about GTown as well?

Anyone heard back from Hopkins?

Anyone got into UMD and thinking of rejecting the offer? I'm also trying to look at all my options/hoping to get into my top choice (it's gonna be very difficult for me to attend anywhere else due to lack of flexibility with moving locations, etc)

Fingers crossed! I would reach out to them and ask.

Yeah, I got a rejection letter

Definitely hoping for an admit there! And congrats on your acceptance to JHU!

Mason decisions are in! No email, just randomly checked the portal. I have a few questions- the acceptance letter didn't say anything about who to contact to understand the funding situation. Does anyone know who I should email? Also, I'm still waiting on GTown and JHU. Has anyone heard back from these schools?

My subfield is IR and I was emailed, if this isn't someone's first choice and you were accepted plz drop it as soon as you can bc it was my first choice (went to UMD for undergrad) and I'm rejected or expecting rejections from everywhere else. I'm a bit upset bc I assumed I was a perfect fit with the faculty and have worked with several of them before.
