I was also wondering about that before, but a reliable source told me this is confirmed news

I am mainly choosing from Columbia and Duke for now, and I am waiting for the waitlist from Yale. I think I am mainly looking at their placement records and fit with me for sure...but definitely hard decisions to make

Claiming Columbia. American Politics, Public opinion. 6a/5r/1p/1w

Claiming a waitlist from Yale...

Claiming a Vandy offer, and rejections from Berkeley and UChicago. Assuming rejection from NYU as well. 5a/3r/6p

I have an offer from a top 10 school for now, and I assume my quantitative background is not strong as well. I have no significant quant experience other than some RA experiences that involve some basic quant reasoning. I have just taken an intro-level statistics course. I have high GRE Q score though. I am assuming it depends a lot on your field. If you want to do behavior, probably they will take the quant background a bit more seriously than if you want to do theory.

An Emory student claiming an Emory offer. Thank you, Emory Political Science.

I received 3 acceptance notifications at this stage; for 2 schools, I received nothing from the DGS before I was notified to check portals; for one school, I received an email congratulating me on my acceptance into their program before I received the official letter on the portal. I think this depends on schools.

My field is AP, political behavior. Guessing the process is rolling, since I submitted my application to Vandy very early (like 1 month before the deadline). Since they said they would get in touch with shortlisted people until Feb. 6th, I think there must be a lot of interviews (or other forms of contact) on the way

had an interview with a Vanderbilt professor earlier this week. *Quoting @Gabbiew's comment on Vanderbilt interview
