Hi everyone! Anyone here who has been waitlisted at Washington University in St. Louis for Comparative politics subfield? Could you get any further email or information from the Department?

I think it is the total number of applications for Georgetown's all Graduate programs; seems that the Department of Government didn't even write rejection letter on behalf of the Department

Hi everyone. Does anyone know when or whether University of Pittsburgh would start sending its offers for its PhD program?

During my previous application cycle, I had been waitlisted at City University of New York(CUNY) but i could learn this only after sending them multiple emails during the first week of March at that time, I had thought that they forgot reviewing my application 🙂 They had replied that they were looking options whether they could extend further offers. Hence, there is a possibility that you have been waitlisted if schools still do not respond to you.

But you were being waitlisted at Stanford University, right? I hope you can get admitted there.

Hi everyone. Anyone here who received offer from University of Texas at Austin Political Science PhD program? I am asking for my friend who has been waitlisted there and he wonder how many students the Department admitted for Comparative politics. He tries to make a guess whether he still has a chance. Any information for him would be useful 🙂

You might be right, after the end of February except for the schools which still didn't announce any of its results like Pittsburgh, decisions that would be coming would be the ones for waitlisted applicants, as long as there would be rejections 😞

Hello everyone, anyone has any knowledge about Syracuse University Political Science PhD program? I received offer from them, would probably be also attending to its admitted students day but any positive/negative feedback would be very useful for me because I have question marks in my mind due to its remote location, the City itself as well. I had applied there for Comparative politics subfield. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, wish you a nice Wednesday 🙂 Is there anyone who applied to University of Maryland and get admitted to University of Maryland Political Science Phd program this year? I have some questions about the program and their admission Statistics, that's why I've wanted to ask.

Georgetown is very bad when it comes to notify applicants about their application result 😞

I didn't get any official communication:/

Yes, I have seen that today which is very bad news because I had applied there. Sent them email but couldn't get any response.

As far as I know, AU SIS gives 2700$ stipend per month but I had heard from one of my friends there that the union would start negotistions for possible increase. I think Johns Hopkins University gives the highest stipend to its PhD students in DC. I also had heard that the Union at GW would also try to start negotiating for increase. Note that this kind of stipend increases tend to have negative effect on the cohort size for PhD programs 😞

Is there any statement concerning whether you would receive 4-years or 5-years funding from SIS? If you plan to stay in academia, their ranking might not be good but for non-academic jobs; SIS would be good I think.

I am also in a similar position as I received one offer about which I have question marks. But I am also worried about whether my professors would write letters of Recommendation etc. and to what extent I would be able to submit a better application file.
