I need something different to turn me on in this desperate application round. I'm watching Temptation Island instead, I would suggest you guys watch it if you haven't.

I’m not sure about the dynamics this year round but from what I saw last year all the offers were released in one day. I also know someone personally accepted by NWU but didn’t post anything here so I expect actual offer holders, if not a lot more, can at least exceed 5. While scenario can be quite different across years, wish you luck on NWU and all of your options.

I applied it last year too, I received the official rejection quite a while after I saw offers released

It’s all good pal, wish you luck

It was posted by me so it's not a troll. I contacted the department admin right after I saw rejs and offers here and was informed they would not consider my application anymore. Good luck with your application, if you have applied to it.

It will be released in the second half of Feb

Claiming Princeton rejection, 0A/8R/1WL/11P, really frustrated since I thought I was a strong candidate

They haven’t sent out any updates yet

Has anyone gotten anything from UC Davis? I saw there is one acceptance out while nothing happened on mine yet

that's so true, plus GRE submission fee, so unaffordable in sum

Yes, since I applied to 7 and only got one non-funded offer last round, I wanted to compensate it by looking broader, while 6-8 of them are extremely poor fits as well, thus I'm assuming more rejections coming in the way. Honestly kinda waste of application fee.

Claiming UW rejection too, pretty poor fit, so far two rejections and one waitlist are all from poor fit Unis so I guess fit really matters. 2R/0A/1WL/17P

Hi all, I’m confused about Trump’s ban on federal funding. I have friend actually just got his CS PhD informal offer but it was withdrew due to short of funding. Does it mean that PoliSci would be equally influenced? It seems like the ban has been rescinded but I’m not sure about it’s mechanism.

I was placed on the waiting list of UIUC too, I think it’s still too early to give a definitive answer of the application status of your other options. It’s actually based on lots of things, fit, level of competitiveness across different subfields, and luck of course. So I wouldn’t be surprised if one gets into a top choice and rejected or waitlisted by a less better one. Wish you will have good news coming soon!

GWU hasn’t indeed released any decisions yet, this was confirmed by the department when I contacted them about an application system error
