  1. My UCSD application portal hasn’t changed (checklist is still there and all). Strange.
  2. You can start thinking of other options in March. For now, keep faith. You hurt nobody by believing you are going to be successful and only stand to lose by doubting yourself.
  3. Did UCSD already come out? They’re typically early Feb but I haven’t heard anything.
  4. Thanks! The username is fitting for that lol
  5. Dying to know - I feel like I’m having a stroke every time my email goes off when it’s only some ad from PetCo or the likes
  6. Any Princeton admits in IR?
  7. Same - no email but checked portal! I have no way of knowing why some schools accept and some don’t, it seems very random. In either case, congrats to all who have gotten an acceptance today/yesterday!
  8. Ha! That is painful. I am married so certainly not eager to live with roommates. I’ve heard similar stories from a friend who is getting her PhD in Chem there but was wishing full thinking.
  9. Does anyone know if Berkeley subsidizes housing costs? I’m a bit concerned about being able to afford to live in the area with a grad students stipend.
  10. Give it time! Most of the top 15 schools have not released results yet. My background is almost exclusively qualitative with exceedingly little quant and I’ve received a few offers so far. I think that faculty fit and the level and depth of your research agenda are going to be your strengths. Good luck!
  11. Also claiming Berkeley!!! PUMPED! I got an email about it (no call as others had). I’m an American applicant in IR sub field!
  12. Losing hope on Berkeley- womp womp
  13. Claiming Emory as well- mine came around 2:15 ET.
  14. There’s an Emory result now too… unfortunately quiet for me on Berkeley and Emory fronts so far.
  15. Not super fired up about the prospect of doing a post-doc as I’d like to be making a regular salary when graduating (I am not K-PhD), but understand this may be a “must” by the time we graduate. I’d love some stability haha, tired of moving.
  16. Thanks! This is helpful and good to consider. I’d prefer to work on East coast I think so that may be worth considering. Is this a reason at all to steer away from Midwest schools (Michigan, NW, U Chicago, etc) due to fewer options compared to more populated areas of the country?
  17. Thanks both! (Still have not figured out how to reply to comments- apologies). Definitely looking to enter academia after, so this is good information. Perhaps a consideration for March once all the cards are down (and hopefully options to choose from).
  18. This may be a silly question but to what extent does a grad schools ranking play in post graduation job hunting? I know it plays a significant role in other types of grad programs, like law school, but am not sure how much to weigh fit vs ranking.
  19. I am IR and have not yet received any word from NW. Not sure if this is due to rejection or a batched approach.
  20. Agreed- checking this page is rotting my brain but I can’t stop lol. I just want to know so I can move on with my life!
  21. Do people who have made the short list know or is this just internal knowledge?
  22. Does anyone have predictions for Berkeley, Michigan and UCSD? I believe they typically release early February but am not sure if that would be this week or next. Anxious of the waiting game!
  23. Yes - I think next round should be acceptances based on previous years. Hoping no rejection means possible acceptance! Fingers crossed.
  24. Thanks! I didn’t think anyone interviewed so was surprised to see so many interview requests on the results page. Perhaps just a select few actually interview?
  25. Do Cornell or NW interview?
