Oh dang. What exactly did the email say, if you don’t mind sharing? 😕

Does anyone know when UNC rejections are going out? It’s almost March and I haven’t gotten a decision from them

Rejected from JHU. American politics. I’m not mad about it. I’ve gotten other offers I was more interested in

It seems that many public universities don’t offer as robust or competitive funding packages as some private universities do.

For what it’s worth, I think Cornell is higher ranked for IR than Vanderbilt

Is anyone with an offer for any subfield from UNC able to share when the visitation days are? It will help me gauge my likelihood of getting an offer from them at this point vs. not. Thank you!

Yep I definitely got rejected then.

Obviously, it’s easier said than done to not reach out. The waiting is certainly difficult, coupled with the fact that schools can release decisions when they want to, how they want to. But schools get tons of applicants, so I understand why.

Well I almost definitely didn’t get in then, if the visits are this week

Is anyone from any subfield with an offer from Georgetown able to share when the visit weekend is? If it’s coming up very soon, that means I probably got rejected haha

I’m in a similar situation. I was interviewed and have not heard back. Did they mention in your interview when the visit days will be held? If they are upcoming, I think you can respectfully email and inquire about your decision, since you’ll want to be able to attend if you’re either admitted or waitlisted. I thought in my interview they said visit days would be at the end of February, so I’m worried that I haven’t heard back

I got into Cornell!!! American politics

Anyone gotten an offer from UNC or Georgetown for American politics? I’m still waiting to hear back from those schools

You are in a league of your own with these acceptances! Congrats

Has anyone heard back from Georgetown for American politics? I’ve seen some acceptances but they seem to be in other subfields

Cornell should be coming out some day soon, UNC too. I honestly don’t know what’s going on with UNC

If anyone did AP for Georgetown, have you gotten a decision yet? I’m still waiting

I think the dress is more business casual (not especially formal, but also not informal). I’m a male, so I’m planning to pack button up/polo shirts and pants. Pack comfortable walking shoes too, as you’ll likely be on your feet for much of the day

Does anyone have insight into what the faculty meetings on admitted student visitation weekends are for? I have a visit to a program this weekend and part of it is meeting with faculty. I assume it’s more of a casual chat and not an interview, considering I’ve been accepted already.

It could mean any of the three decisions (you could still be admitted, waitlisted, or denied). PhD programs seemingly release decisions how they want to, when they want to.

As difficult as this waiting process is, the general wisdom is to not email about applications. Hang in there!

Email from department. I did American politics.

Rejected from university of Maryland college park

Has anyone received a decision from Georgetown for American Politics yet?

Hopefully some more acceptances this week! If not, it seems very few people were admitted
