From a reliable source or is it a scuttlebutt?

Congrats on your Friday afternoon miracle!

They've got something.... special in store for you. Jk. Check spam/junk? Check the portal itself? That seems to be where everyone's decisions went anyway.

Peep the GRE and GPA scores lol

I have no inside knowledge, but UPenn historically has decisions later than this, and it's only one result. I think you can consider it a false alarm

Wow that is extraordinarily stupid. It's really hard for me to imagine who thought it would be a good idea to have a finish and submit button AFTER you'd already finished and submitted. Every application I've seen has you submit and then pay. Sorry about that ?

What is the story behind your GWU parenthetical? I almost choked on my yogurt reading it.

I believe it implies the graduate school, rather than just the department is involved. I don't want to read the tea leaves, but I agree with others it's positive.

Nice. Thanks for sharing

Wow this is the next level of anxiety. I'm so glad it didn't occur to me to do this, because I absolutely would have.

Site owners in the background shaking their fists

My heart DROPPED until I realized this was not in ref to poli sci. Phew!

I've always wondered if it's disorganization, independent subfield timelines, or just their version of a waitlist

Soon! We'll tough it out

I'm also CP and got nothing. NW is notorious for their strange, "batched" process though. They do it in spurts, from what I can gather.

What's your subfield? Edit: And congrats, btw!

Not I. I applied strictly to American schools

Can you imagine getting ad revenue on page views here instead of unique visitors? The amount of refreshes has to be insane.

On a similar note, did anyone else who applied to Brown but not given an acceptance notification get any status change on their portal?

Well deserved, I'm sure. And thanks for bringing in some momentum to this Tuesday!

How do you know that?

Last year Princeton acceptances came in on Feb 7

Grad departments feed off suffering and anxiety

It's still majorly early in the cycle! There's a home for all of us. Like you said, not your top fit, and that's certainly taken into account in decisions
