Yes, perhaps Stanford soon and also Northwestern? Harvard also started sending accepts in the second week of Feb last yer, but spaced them out over a few weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if Duke and MIT started sending out rejections soon, though I have already accepted defeat. Still holding out a glimmer of hope for Berkeley, UCLA and Columbia, but perhaps that's misplaced.

Yay, that's awesome!!!

All you need is one acceptance, so congrats!!!!!!

Congrats!! Also to the Kansas person!

yes, let's both do that

based on my estimations of last year's admits, I would guess that Columbia enrolls around 18, which means they admit 30-some.

Just to be neurotic...did any comparativists hear from columbia?

whoa, was in meetings all day and then came back to see the blast of columbia admits. now a little freaked! is anyone claiming them?

Yeah, wrong email address, but maybe meant for another person with my name?

LOL guys. Just got a second rejection letter from Michigan, except it's clearly not for me (I have no idea what the Bunche institute is). Posting in case someone else recognizes it. "I'm writing in my capacity as the director of grad admissions in Political Science at the University of Michigan. It was nice to meet you at the Bunche Summer Institute last June and see you again at our Emerging Scholars conference in September, and I am glad you were interested in our program. Our admissions committee has now finished its review, and unfortunately we are not able to admit you. We received a large number of incredibly competitive applications and were able to admit less than ten percent of the applicants. I am sorry to be the bearer of what must be disappointing news. I do wish you the best of luck in your applications and for your future in general."

Thanks for this and congrats again!

Yes, congrats! Did that just come today? Blast email or personal?

Congrats to Simon Fraser, sounds like good funding!

An updated spreadsheet to start the week off, now with more colors! http://wikisend.com/download/550836/Polisci%20PhD%20admit%20data.xlsx Good luck everyone!!!

Contrats to the MIT people! Still waiting on a letter myself, although its not the greatest fit and probably a long shot. Also way to go everyone, 100 pages!

Also congrats to UC Irvine people! California is having a good evening!

Awww, thanks dude It helps that I have a job which requires data analysis to prove that I can do math.

Thanks!! That score is me kids. I thought it would kill my apps, but at least I've got one admit, and super happy it's UCSD. I also have a masters and some publications, so that helps.

Me too!!!!!! So relieved. Especially after Michigan.

K guys, I'm signing off (at least until I get home and sign back on again). Here is the spreadsheet updated ahead of the weekend... http://wikisend.com/download/123442/Polisci PhD admit data.xlsx

some of the earlier calls were claimed, but not much other info I think

MIT postal service just appeared...

i find drinking at work helps...

I would guess yes; although last year they sent their admits between Feb 6-9, so we can probably expect them soon.

Oh right, good luck with that! We're just missing it in DC. Actually I'm pretty sure she wrote that song about grad school admissions (who knew?): "I threw a wish in the well, Don't ask me, I'll never tell I looked to you as it fell, And now you're in my way I'd trade my soul for a wish, Pennies and dimes for a kiss I wasn't looking for this, But now you're in my way
