Just an email but it might be because i'm an international applicant (Italy). -

In at Columbia. I got the "second" rejection from Wisconsin too. They want to make it clear they don't like us AT ALL! -

In at Rochester as well. Email from Tasos Kalandrakis, some basic info on funding. Extremely excited, this is going to be a tough offer to turn down! I have to decide between them and UCLA. -

No i did not. I gave it a look, and at the time it seemed to be too much about economics. I have a marginal interest for political economy but not strong enough to apply to Stanford GBS. How is it going? Any good news from the schools? I always miss something because of the time lag. -

Honestly, I think that if I'm coming for a weekend it's for the UCLA one. There are 10 days in between the two and I like the UCLA program and faculty better (my subfield is formal theory). It's just that an international flight is exausting, especially when you are in the US just fo a couple of days. Two round trips in 10 days are way too much. Too bad, cause Duke weekend activities look amazing. And too bad you guys did not apply to UCLA. -

Ahahah, no no, my stats are not great but a bit better than those ones. Well, i don't think I'm going to their luncheon. Given that i have to fly all the way to the US from Italy, I would do it only if I had a strong interest in the program. Therefore, I'm thinking about going to the UCLA weekend. It would be nice to meet you and other people who are on this board. -

Nobody else on this board or on the result page mentioned any info on funding. In my letter they said that they'll let me know about the funding package later and also other people here were saying the same. No offense intended, but looking at those stats that result looks fake to me -

It was a mistake. Practically, on the same email there were about 10 letters for 10 different applicants notifying acceptance. They apologized later. -

I was pretty specific (Comparative) since my main interest is coalition theory and, in general, spatial theory of voting. Know little about American Politics, no interest at all in IR. -

I just had no idea about how being from an Italian university could be considered. I tried to maximize the chances. But yes, I did spend a good amount of money -

Just received an offer via e-mail from UCLA. Funding for five years and guaranteed 4-year TAship. I applied for Methods and Formal Theory and I'm international (Italy). They stressed the fit of my interests with the faculty. First school I've heard from, still 18 schools to go.
