Congratulations. Did you receive email or check your application portal? Also, did you have interview with Georgetown?

Seems that Notre Dame is sending acceptance results; I saw that posts on University of Notre Dame.

Hello everyone, wish you a nice week. Anyone applied for Mcgill University and received any email? I asked to the department and they responded to me that the Department has just started to send out acceptance offers. I could only see one applicant from Canada who received acceptance offer from them but later, I couldn't see anyone.

Hello everyone, hope you are all fine. Anyone applied for Mcgill University PhD program and heard nothing? I could see only two posts about Mcgill shared at Gradcafe but after that, I couldn't find any information? Do you also know someone who applied for CUNY and still waiting response from them?

Anyone applied for Mcgill University PhD program and heard nothing? I could see only two posts about Mcgill shared at Gradcafe but after that, I couldn't find any information.; should I assume rejection?

Did you apply from the US or from abroad? Congratulations by the way ?

I even didn't know that Northwestern Political Science Department has been organizing this kind of meeting during the admission process but it seems that they will try to get the sense of how many of the applicants from the main admission list will accept the offer. Compared to last year, the date of this meeting with the admitted students is almost one month earlier, by the way. Hope that they would send more acceptance emails in the upcoming days

Hi everyone. For those who applied for Northwestern University PhD program, O contacted with my friend who has been currently doing his PhD there. He informed me that the main list of the applicants who were offered admission is consisting of 10-12 applicants; a drop compared to 20 admitted applicants. So, the number of applicants who received email on January 31st and who are in the main list are only 10-12. On February 24th, the Department would hold a meeting and the applicants who received admission on January 31st were invited. After this meeting, the Department would probably decide to send acceptance emails; depending on the number of applicants who would accept the offer or choose another PhD program. So, until February 24th, they may not send more acceptance emails but there might be still chance that you are being waitlisted. But offering admission to only 10-12 applicants show that they would not send many acceptance after February 24th

Thanks. It is really difficult to assess the admission process. Last year, Many universities stated that we received too many applications; this year number of applicants decreased but now they say the program would offer admission smaller number of applicants. ?

This image was already posted around early January at Gradcafe (its link was shared; I got this screenshot). Based on this statistics; the estimated number of admits for the program was 20. I could see 5 or 6 applicants who shared about their admission results at Gradcafe. Hope that more acceptance decisions would come.

Sad news ? Only some applicants could receive admission decisions from Northwestern and last year, they sent the results in batches. Are you studying at Northwestern University?

I could only see one post about Mcgill University (which I think it was your post at Gradcafe). Other than that, I couldn't see any other posts on Mcgill. Maybe I shouldnt apply for Mcgill because what I could see from previous years' posts is that this University predominantly offers admission for applicants from Canada.

Did you apply from Canada or an international applicant? I also applied for Mcgill (from abroad) and emailed to the Department about when results would be announced. They replied to me that the Department is still reviewing the applications.

Hope that they would be all acceptances.

So, should I begin to assume rejection? I couldn't see any applicant from Comparative politics track and who could receive email from University of Michigan.

Which other PhD programs did you apply, by the way?

My regional focus is different but one of my friends who applied for Michigan also focuses on the MENA region and he also heard nothing from them. Did you apply from the US or from abroad? I applied from abroad; Master Student.

Anyone applied for Comparative Politics track to University of Michigan PhD program and received email? I wait an email from them and posts shared at Gradcafe were mostly from IR and American Politics. Also, anyone received email from CUNY or from University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill?

I hope I can get some news from them. You received admission from University of Michigan, right? Do you know they send out the results in batches?

I applied for University of Michigan but still didn't get any email from them (Comparative Politics, International applicant). Should I assume rejection?

I have begun to assume that UMichigan would reject my application, I am Comparative Politics sub-field but I didn't receive any email.

Anyone received email from University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)?

Congratulations:) Did you get your Master degree from US and how was your GRE Scores? I also applied but still waiting response from Princeton. Probably it would be rejection, though.

Thank you ?? Me and my family are not living in that region but we have some relatives who were affected from this earthquake. Fortunately, we could contact with them and they are all fine.
